Hybrid Teaching

Zoom controls disappear when I share my screen. How can I access the zoom chat and other controls?
When we share a screen (e.g. screen with slides), Zoom controls are automatically ‘hidden’, but if we (1) hover over the text ‘You are screen sharing’ (top middle), we will be able to access to the Zoom controls. If you are using two screens you will be able to (2) drag and drop the controls to our second screen/monitor.

I’m teaching in a hybrid room with two screen monitors. I’m unable to display my PowerPoint presentation on the correct screen.
You should be able to use the option ‘slide show’ and display your PowerPoint presentation on the monitor that is shown on the projector screen. If you are not able to do it (due to the way the screens were set up), convert your PowerPoint to a PDF file, and use the PDF instead.
