Your video is a must for distance learning in this age of technology. It's also a must for grandparents who want to stay in touch. I know my grand kids will love sharing what they've learned using split screen. I look forward to learning more from you.
Russell does a great job of demonstrating and explaining how to use Skype to screen share with a student. This is a way for a teacher to share any document, video or presentation with a student.
I am not a teacher, but I plan on using this to have a virtual bedtime story (using an ebook) with my 6-year-old granddaughter who I have not seen for several months now. Your presentation using a split-screen showing what both participants see was excellent and helps to easily understand the technique. I truly admire your dedication in personally replying to each comment posted. Well done. Thanks.
@@ttvRussell Had my first story time yesterday and it worked wonderfully. She really enjoyed it (as did her parents who were glad to have a new activity to occupy her for a little while during this time of 24/7 togetherness.) Thanks again. Cheers.
Russell Stannard (Teacher Training Videos) our bosses ordered us to all use Skype so students all have a similar experience- these are adults at the UN. Luckily my classes are small but some French teachers are finding it difficult. We are sharing our experiences in two weeks so I’ll give your advice as we may continue for the next term. Thanks for this Keep up the excellent work! I’ve been recommending you to all and sundry

Dear Russell, What camera are you using? The quality is good! my Asus laptop's camera is not good. Is there any chance to use my cell phone camera with my laptop?
Gisselle, sorry for slow reply. I was away on holiday. My camera is this one www.amazon.com/Logitech-C922x-Pro-Stream-Webcam/dp/B01LXCDPPK/ref=asc_df_B01LXCDPPK/?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=&hvpos=&hvnetw=o&hvrand=&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583451663524810&psc=1
Quick question: Does Skype have a way for teachers/students to share annotation/writing capabilities like in zoom? I’m going to be tutoring for a company that uses Skype as its preferred platform, and I’m familiarizing myself (since I’m new to it) with its attributes and limitations so that I can plan accordingly. Also, your video has been the most helpful one I’ve viewed thus far! (Thank you for it!)
No, as far as I know Tammy the answer is no, SKYPE is a bit tricky, I use it for some of my private lessons but I have to admit I prefer SKYPE..thank you for the really kind comment too Tammy. I need to update that SKYPE video actually.
Please do! I have some new stuff coming out very soon. It might be worth signing up to the newsletter on my website www.teachertrainingvideos.com/sign-up.
Hi Russell, Thanks for your videos, I have just started teaching online and I find them very helpful! I just wanted to ask, is there a way to share just a portion of the screen? Say just a window and not the whole thing? Thanks again for the very informative videos!
When you screen share, you do get various options to share just one tab or just one window but you can't share a portion of a window. You can't actually do that with any of the webinar tools
OMG i have never seen such tutorial video that is well made like yours; very very clear instructions; easy to follow, I like your using examples; I will be a pro at my next training session for sure. One positive thing i got from COVID pandemic is that I am now knowing more stuff like this LOL. Already subscribed and clicked like. Thanks for making it.

Thank you! One of my students offered to be my test lesson today, and I was hoping to share her music piece I marked up on my computer. It will also help her to see herself in order to adjust her device to where I can see her keyboard and hands as she's playing. I hope it works well in this new format for us!

Hi Russell, thank you so much for a very clear, well explained and useful video especially as I'm not very tech savvy. Is it possible to screen share and still see the person I am video calling?
Russell, thank you for the explanation. One Q: when you/me share screen and bring some slide or other info screen ON, I still want to see my contact in the small video window. How do I do that? As of now sometimes I see it, sometimes not 😍 🤣
I actually don't know the answer to that and it happens to me too. I will look into it and see if I can get back to you. Sorry about that. Glad video was useful.
Hi. I am teaching a tarot class and need to see my students screen and both of our faces....Is there a simple way to do this? Thanks so much. Really helpful video.
That is difficult. I don't think you can do that in SKYPE as it stands but you could do that in Zoom. You can share the screen and share up to 5 people's faces at the same time.
Thank you so much for this video. Now I feel confident about using the screen share option with my students. I used to screen record the audio clippings because usually the transcription and answers are there at the end of the video which I don’t want my students to see immediately. This way I can just play the video and stop it wherever I want and the student can see and listen with the help of this option. Thank you. Will it be easier to store files in OneNote in order to share the documents with my students?
@@ttvRussell yes , as I tried the other night ,it worked! To make it possible, my contact needs to drag my profile pic which is on the upper right so I can be seen while I am sharing screen. :)
Thank you big help!!I was wondering how to screen share and i was always pushing all the buttons now i really know i am going to try it today for first tome with my student i will let you know how it went.
Thanks for leaving a comment, Vivi. That's great you;ve worked it out now. More videos on using Skype here: ruclips.net/user/crete1987search?query=Skype
I understand what you did;however, I have a newer version of Macbook Pro than you do(?) and when I tried screen share a moment ago what your video said would happen did not. I was sent home from the training to figure out how to open screen share and close it , and how to do the same on Zoom which I do not anticipate being a problem. I wonder how a person does this if that do not have someone to call? I suppose I will call my phone and see what happens
You do need to call someone to do screen share. It will be nothing to do with your Macbook. You may have a newer version of SKYPE than when I made that recording. If you call something, so you have someone to screen share with, it would all be clear. Sorry the video didn't help you
Hi I'm a teaching coach and I work with teachers to help them improve their practice. At the moment we are looking for a way to help them remember to be careful what they share in video meetings, as we've had a few issues. Don't suppose you have a light-hearted video showing that do you?
Hi. Thanks for posting. QUESTION How can I see the 2 screens large inthe same times. Also canI attach the view of a secondary camera for demonstrations. (I am a painter) Thank you
Thanks. Great video... I have a Skype group of 11. One of them couldn't be added to the call. Another problem I had is that some of them are showed in small circles and just 4 of them are showed in equals sections on screen... Is there something I can do??? I'll appreciate some guidance... Thanks
Yes, with big groups it is a problem and I think it depends on the device they use to connect too. Have you thought of trying Zoom www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom
Russell Stannard (Teacher Training Videos) First of all thank very very much for take of your time to answer. Yes I started using ZOOM this week and it definitely has some advantages. Even though I like the simplicity of skype and the video quality on my windows 10 hp, I have found some very interesting features using zoom. Zoom actually has good monthly offers too. I'd like Microsoft upgrades Skype to add some new features. Everything to promote social distancing with my friends. Thank you very much again. I really appreciate it.
Thanks for the clear explanation! I tried it today on my first online training. How do you go about the students making a small assignment while skyping. Because holding it to the camera shows it in mirrorview...bit of an issue There.
Good question Cindy, just refresh the page and the Edmodo with update. You need to refresh Edmodo to see the latest contributions. Cindy, another tool that works well with SKYPE is Padlet.
Thanks for the video. I've tried using screen share while also sharing the sound but it does not seem to work while watching videos. I was hoping to use RUclips with my students while on Skype. Am I doing something wrong?
If you share the sound, you are doing everything right. I can't understand why the users can't hear the sound. Mabye look into using Zoom, it is a free tool if you are using small classes.
Great Russell My concern is that when I screen share to show a slide show on ppp I loose the image of the student! How do you keep that image in the corner? many thanks Karen
I don't think you can. I think once you screen share that it dominates the screen and you can't have the webcams running too. You have the same problem in Zoom too
Thank you for this video Sir. May I ask if there's any way to share just part of screen only like PPT content but not all the entire desktop? thank you in advance for your answer
Hi. Thanks for the video - very easy to follow. Is there a way to share a screen so that the tutor and student can write on it and upload to it? Thanks, Rick.
Thanks very much for your interesting videos. I am hope to share a DVD of a book I am teaching with my class. Is that possible through Skype (I was thinking of "screen sharing").
Thanks for commenting, Chris. Yes, if you can uploaded the content from the DVD you can not on screen share by record using Skype. If you have that option enabled.
Thanks very much and I'll give it a go. While I have your attention (!) and I do apologise for these questions 😔, could you please tell me (i) how many students can be "present" at a lesson (ii) how may can appear on the screen at the same time (iii) how many can be talking at the same time. If a student asks a question, can I try to make him appear on the screen or does he have to do it? Very humbly, Chris (you can tell from these that it will be my first time!)
Thank you so much for your videos! I'm having a sound problem when I share my screen and want to share a video with my students. I click on share sound before sharing the video as required, but the sound is too low, not only for me, but for the other person hearing it too, sometimes no sound. As soon as I'm off Skype, the sound in the same video is perfect, as it was before I even shared it. My sound settings seem to be ok, but not sure. How can I resolve this? Thanks. Should I change anything on my settings?
Hi Raquel C. Thank you for leaving a comment and a question. The only thing I can think of is that the audio settings are not right. I presume you checked the audio input, and whether you are using your computer in-built mic or a headset and that the volume levels are OK. Have you tested the sound levels in Settings > Audio & Video? It seems to be something within Skype for both you and the other person.
@@ttvRussellThank you for replying so promptly. Yes, I have a built-in mic. I have tested the sound in 'make a free test call' and it's all ok. The problem is when I share a video, in which I share the sound too, but it seems to turn down, even on my side, when it wasn't before, so my students can't hear it at all, despite the fact I put it at the highest volume. It doesn't matter if it's on RUclips or if it's a download I have. Would it make any difference if I changed the setting to High definition audio instead of the default mode? I don't use videos all the time, but when I do, it's for a listening comprehension activity, as I teach languages. Thank you :)
Hi! Can you please tell me what can be done when the other person I'm trying to share my screen with just can' t see my screen? She can hear what I'm screensharing, but she can't see my screen.
I think you might not be doing it correctly. Remember you must choose the window you want to share and then choose share and then you need to minimize skype so that they can see what is on your screen and not see what is on your skype.
Really glad that my videos are helpful. I have some new stuff coming out very soon. It might be worth signing up to the newsletter on my website www.teachertrainingvideos.com/sign-up.
Hi my name is Niki and I would like to know if I could screen share my screen with my class and simultaneously see my students so I can see their reactions. Thanks!
You can't do that in SKYPE,,,in fact that is generally hard and very heavy on internet as screen sharing and sharing CAMS can really. Even with something like Zoom, you can only see a liimited number of students when screen sharing
@@ttvRussell. Thank you very much for answering my question. Since I can't do this. I have an other question for you. My computer came without a camera. I got a camera and added it to my computer. Unfortunately it seems that it is mirroring me. Therefore if I show to my students numbers or letters they see them mirrored. This is most unfortunate because my students are really young and they are just about learning numbers and letters. Is there a way that I can change my camera so that it doesn't mirror what I show? Thank you in advance for your time. 🤔😊
Difficult to know, Paula, what's going wrong in your situation. There are options in Skype - settings - for audio - it might be to do with the microphone input - whether using a headset or not. Do check in the audio set up in Skype before making your call. Watch this part of another tutorial on using Skype about phoning someone: ruclips.net/video/tQpltHBztB0/видео.html
When I share my screen, the person who I share my screen with can't read words well. I have to zoom in my Word or PDF document on my screen for the person to be able to read my document. Why is it so?
Could you go full screen, Pavel? Have they got theirs full screen? You have found a workaround, by zooming in. Or maybe share / send the document with them via Skype? R
@@ttvRussellThank you so much for your videos! I'm having a sound problem when I share my screen and want to share a video with my students.

Hi Russel, I would like to know, if I got a tablet with stylus connected to my computer and I would like the other party to watch what I am drawing or writing on my tablet on Skype on the shared screen. Is it possible? I tried but I can't. Is the peoblem with the tablet or with Skype? Thanks
'When you screen share in Skype, you need to minimise the Skype window, so that the other person sees the web pages that you have open. In this example I show a PowerPoint window, but it doesn't matter, as long as you minimise Skype. You can, of course, also share a link to those specific web pages in the chat window on Skype. Hope that helps. Russell.' Thanks for the reply but unfortunately it doesn't help much :-). I was already minimizing my window and can share powerpoint and microsoft word documents but I don't have the option to share from the internet for some reason. Students can see the internet as part of my whole screen share but I can't just share that like my teacher can from her PC. Thanks anyway.
Superb, many thanks. I am an art teacher, i want to share my demo video and my face talking to them on the screen. How to connect mobile to system n show them both my face n the live art demo simultaneously. Most online tutors do, i wonder how they do. Kindly help, it matters alot to me. Thanks again. kindly help.
@@ttvRussell Yes, they are doing on RUclips, because I saw those videos in youtube. Kindly help how to do on youtube or any platform. My students were asking me for art classes since this lockdown, n because I am not techie person I couldn't take classes online in this lockdown period. Students still asking me. Now I took courage to try to attempt on zoom. But if I can show them live n my talking face while explaining how am doing, at same time with multiple windows. Kindly post video on this, how to do on youtube or any platform. will be great, of you, many thanks for reply.
Thank you it seems easier thant i expected, now i have a question can my students see youtube videos and listen to the audio while we are conected on skype?
Please reply With how many students can I screen share simultaneously and will that consume more and more internet data as the number of students increases?
I have some new stuff coming out very soon. It might be worth signing up to the newsletter on my website www.teachertrainingvideos.com/sign-up. Hopefully thinks will get easier for you.
I have a comment, I have been using Skype and screen share how it possible to see like student when share picture and student can see a bigger image of your cam still. I'm so frustrated about this i would expect it to be possible just don't know how.
I guess it means you might not be doing it correctly. When you screen share, you must minimize the skype window so that the students don't see you but see what is on your screen.
I cannot share my sound i do not get the little switch to share the sound everything else works fine . when i play a short cd i can hear it but the other person cannot .can you please help .
You need to share your computer sound when you screen share. I think the button is called share systems audio or share computer sound. Screen sharing shares the sound but not the audio.
When I share my screen, I have a few students who advise they can't see what I'm sharing clearly. Everything I see on my screen, they can't see or it's too small. I am wondering if there is a zoom ratio that I can suggest them to set their computer to that might assist. TIA for your help!
Heather, apologies I was away. I don't use Skype much these days. In theory they should see you full screen on their computers. When you screen share, make sure you click on SCREEN as the sharing option and make sure they have maximised their SKYPE windows..I really can't help you anymore than that-Sorry.
Thanks for this video. I do teach with skype with screen share, often by copying a question (on e.g sniping tool) and annotating it with my graphics tablet. Do you know of any way that the student could write on the snipping tool copy at the same time as I can write on it? Thanks
I can screen share ... but not the sound? I wanted my friend to watch the you tube video with me, they could see the video but not hear the sound... how do i do that?
Have you enabled 'share computer sound / audio' when the window pops up after you go to share screen. Check out this part of this tutorial: When you go to share your screen to play a video, you do need to enable 'share computer sound'.

You are welcome! I have some new stuff coming out very soon. It might be worth signing up to the newsletter on my website www.teachertrainingvideos.com/sign-up.
I can screen share, share documents etc but I can't share my web sites that I have open on screen. My teacher who I did a trial with could share google with me that she had open on her PC. I am using a mac and the web pages that I had open were not visible in the choices of sharing whereas in Zoom they are. I managed to show her the web pages but in a different way that meant she could still see other things on my screen. Any idea how I can directly share the web pages that I have open? Thanks in advance
When you screen share in Skype, you need to minimise the Skype window, so that the other person sees the web pages that you have open. In this example I show a PowerPoint window, but it doesn't matter, as long as you minimise Skype. You can, of course, also share a link to those specific web pages in the chat window on Skype. Hope that helps. Russell.
Sorry that it is confusing. Screen sharing is pretty standard in most teaching tools though I think Zoom does it much better than SkYPE.. You can't screen share on a mobile but you can receive screen share on a mobile.
Hi, can you please help me on how to share screen on Skype video call with another person eg. on the screen I can see myself on half of the screen and the other person takes up the other half. Is that possible? Thank you in advance
@@ttvRussell Hi Russell, I was asking to be able to see nothing else but myself and the person I am talking too. Can you help me with that? Also for some reason as I was trying to find answer to my question I have changed my Skype from Personal to Business, and I can't use my WebCam anymore. Would you have any idea what I have done wrong? I don't want Skype Business. Thank you in advance for your help
Yes, she can see my screen if I screen share and she can see anything I do on my screen. When it stop screen share, it goes back to normal. I hope that helps.
I honestly don't know. I have only worked with small groups of 3-4. I think it might get complicated if you had many people on a SkYPE call. Sorry I don't know the answer.
Yeah, Skype is good for screen sharing and for conducting online classes. Additionally, one can also use tools like Webex, Zoom, R-HUB web video conferencing servers, Gotomeeting etc. for all screen sharing and online teaching needs. These are easy to use and work well on all platforms.
Not sure, Raj. It sound like it has been minimised. You need to choose the right display when sharing. You should minimise SKYPE so that what the other pesron sees is your screen, without SKYPE showing, even though it is running. Hope that helps.

No idea. I just pres the screen share button.

You do need to call someone to do screen share. It will be nothing to do with your Macbook. You may have a newer version of SKYPE than when I made that recording. If you call something, so you have someone to screen share with, it would all be clear. Sorry the video didn't help you
Hi I'm a teaching coach and I work with teachers to help them improve their practice. At the moment we are looking for a way to help them remember to be careful what they share in video meetings, as we've had a few issues. Don't suppose you have a light-hearted video showing that do you?
Helen, I don't but you are right it is important. Never have anything open on your screen that you don't want people to see if the golden rule
Nice idea behind the video clip. It will be better if you addresses if cursor's movement on share screen can be seen. Thanks
I will keep that in mind when I do a new skype videos
Super great, Russell! Very clear, useful and helpful! Thank you so much! :)
Great, Sandra. Screen sharing is a key teaching component.
@@ttvRussell absolutely! It works out! Making the most of it. Thanx again!
Excellent! Thank you!
You are very welcome!
Hi. Thanks for posting. QUESTION How can I see the 2 screens large inthe same times. Also canI attach the view of a secondary camera for demonstrations. (I am a painter) Thank you
I am not sure you can screen share two screens in SKYPE. You can only screen share one as far as I know.
Ya I too have same doubt.
Thanks. Great video...
I have a Skype group of 11. One of them couldn't be added to the call. Another problem I had is that some of them are showed in small circles and just 4 of them are showed in equals sections on screen... Is there something I can do??? I'll appreciate some guidance... Thanks
Yes, with big groups it is a problem and I think it depends on the device they use to connect too. Have you thought of trying Zoom www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom
Russell Stannard (Teacher Training Videos) First of all thank very very much for take of your time to answer. Yes I started using ZOOM this week and it definitely has some advantages. Even though I like the simplicity of skype and the video quality on my windows 10 hp, I have found some very interesting features using zoom. Zoom actually has good monthly offers too. I'd like Microsoft upgrades Skype to add some new features. Everything to promote social distancing with my friends. Thank you very much again. I really appreciate it.
Very clear, thanks for the tips!
My pleasure!
Thanks for the clear explanation! I tried it today on my first online training. How do you go about the students making a small assignment while skyping. Because holding it to the camera shows it in mirrorview...bit of an issue There.
Good question Cindy, just refresh the page and the Edmodo with update. You need to refresh Edmodo to see the latest contributions. Cindy, another tool that works well with SKYPE is Padlet.
Russell Stannard (Teacher Training Videos) cool! Will look into that today! Tnx for the advice!
Thanks for the video. I've tried using screen share while also sharing the sound but it does not seem to work while watching videos. I was hoping to use RUclips with my students while on Skype. Am I doing something wrong?
If you share the sound, you are doing everything right. I can't understand why the users can't hear the sound. Mabye look into using Zoom, it is a free tool if you are using small classes.
@@ttvRussell OK, thanks. I'll give it another try. I have been usually Zoom lately as I prefer it but this last student preferred Skype.
Great Russell My concern is that when I screen share to show a slide show on ppp I loose the image of the student! How do you keep that image in the corner? many thanks Karen
I don't think you can. I think once you screen share that it dominates the screen and you can't have the webcams running too. You have the same problem in Zoom too
Thanks for the video. When you screen share, are you able to block out the small video of yourself at the top? Cheers~~
Yes, I think that opens in a separate window,. When you screen share, you disappear from the main screen.
thank you for your video, from South Africa
Kelvin, glad it was useful.
very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment. I have added some new videos on Teaching on-line here:

Nice and easy way to learn screen sharing 😊
I am really glad that was useful. Thank you
Thank you for this video Sir. May I ask if there's any way to share just part of screen only like PPT content but not all the entire desktop? thank you in advance for your answer
Yes, play the Power Point, so that it is full screen and then screen share it. I do this often.
@@ttvRussell thank you sir
Hi. Thanks for the video - very easy to follow. Is there a way to share a screen so that the tutor and student can write on it and upload to it? Thanks, Rick.
Rick, not in SKYPE. I guess you could screen share one of the interactive whiteboard websites, that would work.
Thanks Russell. I didn't realise you had replied, seem to be having issues with gmail and youtube. I've found that MD whiteboard is a good resource :)
Thanks very much for your interesting videos. I am hope to share a DVD of a book I am teaching with my class. Is that possible through Skype (I was thinking of "screen sharing").
Thanks for commenting, Chris. Yes, if you can uploaded the content from the DVD you can not on screen share by record using Skype. If you have that option enabled.
Thanks very much and I'll give it a go. While I have your attention (!) and I do apologise for these questions 😔, could you please tell me (i) how many students can be "present" at a lesson (ii) how may can appear on the screen at the same time (iii) how many can be talking at the same time. If a student asks a question, can I try to make him appear on the screen or does he have to do it? Very humbly, Chris (you can tell from these that it will be my first time!)
You have no idea how helpful that was
Great, Alshyema. Please check out my other videos on using Skype: ruclips.net/user/crete1987search?query=Skype

Thanks for the comment. I have added some new videos on Teaching on-line here:

Thank you so much for your videos! I'm having a sound problem when I share my screen and want to share a video with my students. I click on share sound before sharing the video as required, but the sound is too low, not only for me, but for the other person hearing it too, sometimes no sound. As soon as I'm off Skype, the sound in the same video is perfect, as it was before I even shared it. My sound settings seem to be ok, but not sure. How can I resolve this? Thanks. Should I change anything on my settings?
Hi Raquel C. Thank you for leaving a comment and a question. The only thing I can think of is that the audio settings are not right. I presume you checked the audio input, and whether you are using your computer in-built mic or a headset and that the volume levels are OK. Have you tested the sound levels in Settings > Audio & Video? It seems to be something within Skype for both you and the other person.
@@ttvRussellThank you for replying so promptly. Yes, I have a built-in mic. I have tested the sound in 'make a free test call' and it's all ok. The problem is when I share a video, in which I share the sound too, but it seems to turn down, even on my side, when it wasn't before, so my students can't hear it at all, despite the fact I put it at the highest volume. It doesn't matter if it's on RUclips or if it's a download I have. Would it make any difference if I changed the setting to High definition audio instead of the default mode? I don't use videos all the time, but when I do, it's for a listening comprehension activity, as I teach languages. Thank you :)
Hi! Can you please tell me what can be done when the other person I'm trying to share my screen with just can' t see my screen? She can hear what I'm screensharing, but she can't see my screen.
I think you might not be doing it correctly. Remember you must choose the window you want to share and then choose share and then you need to minimize skype so that they can see what is on your screen and not see what is on your skype.
What I need to know is how you recorded the video
I'm using Camtasia. Here is my Camtasia course:ruclips.net/p/PLqYj2sOxDkVwgVrOdhpmUc-oOAUiyyzbk
Also tell me is there any restriction of number of hours per day? Per month?
I think SKYPE can be used all the time. I don't think there is any restriction
Thank you. I was wondering if it was possible while I share my screen to still see my students ?
Hi Francesca. You should be able to share your whole screen and still see your students in Skype.
Excellent, Russell, just what I was looking for - thank you!
Great, that's good to hear, George.
Great video that is really easy to follow. Thank you!
Really glad that my videos are helpful. I have some new stuff coming out very soon. It might be worth signing up to the newsletter on my website www.teachertrainingvideos.com/sign-up.
Thanks you greatly! Looking forward to trying this tomorrow!
I am glad I can help. Thanks for the nice feedback
Hi my name is Niki and I would like to know if I could screen share my screen with my class and simultaneously see my students so I can see their reactions. Thanks!
You can't do that in SKYPE,,,in fact that is generally hard and very heavy on internet as screen sharing and sharing CAMS can really. Even with something like Zoom, you can only see a liimited number of students when screen sharing
@@ttvRussell. Thank you very much for answering my question. Since I can't do this. I have an other question for you. My computer came without a camera. I got a camera and added it to my computer. Unfortunately it seems that it is mirroring me. Therefore if I show to my students numbers or letters they see them mirrored. This is most unfortunate because my students are really young and they are just about learning numbers and letters. Is there a way that I can change my camera so that it doesn't mirror what I show? Thank you in advance for your time. 🤔😊
Hi...thxs for Zoom lesson. I am using Skype and would like student to see video and hear it...sees it but doesn't hear it...what to do?
Difficult to know, Paula, what's going wrong in your situation. There are options in Skype - settings - for audio - it might be to do with the microphone input - whether using a headset or not. Do check in the audio set up in Skype before making your call. Watch this part of another tutorial on using Skype about phoning someone: ruclips.net/video/tQpltHBztB0/видео.html
AMAZING AND SO CLEAR.😃

When I share my screen, the person who I share my screen with can't read words well. I have to zoom in my Word or PDF document on my screen for the person to be able to read my document. Why is it so?
Could you go full screen, Pavel? Have they got theirs full screen? You have found a workaround, by zooming in. Or maybe share / send the document with them via Skype? R

Hi Russel, I would like to know, if I got a tablet with stylus connected to my computer and I would like the other party to watch what I am drawing or writing on my tablet on Skype on the shared screen. Is it possible? I tried but I can't. Is the peoblem with the tablet or with Skype? Thanks
David, you would need to access an IWB tool and then screen share it. My advice would be to try and use Zoom.
'When you screen share in Skype, you need to minimise the Skype window, so that the other person sees the web pages that you have open. In this example I show a PowerPoint window, but it doesn't matter, as long as you minimise Skype. You can, of course, also share a link to those specific web pages in the chat window on Skype. Hope that helps. Russell.' Thanks for the reply but unfortunately it doesn't help much :-). I was already minimizing my window and can share powerpoint and microsoft word documents but I don't have the option to share from the internet for some reason. Students can see the internet as part of my whole screen share but I can't just share that like my teacher can from her PC. Thanks anyway.
Oh sorry that it didn't help. I'm not sure what the solution is in that case.
first lesson this afternoon. This will help immensely! Thank you.
Mike, really glad I could help you.
Superb, many thanks. I am an art teacher, i want to share my demo video and my face talking to them on the screen. How to connect mobile to system n show them both my face n the live art demo simultaneously. Most online tutors do, i wonder how they do. Kindly help, it matters alot to me. Thanks again. kindly help.
Archana, I am not so sure you can do that with SKYPE. You are probably seeing presentations using other tools like Zoom etc.
@@ttvRussell Yes, they are doing on RUclips, because I saw those videos in youtube. Kindly help how to do on youtube or any platform. My students were asking me for art classes since this lockdown, n because I am not techie person I couldn't take classes online in this lockdown period. Students still asking me. Now I took courage to try to attempt on zoom. But if I can show them live n my talking face while explaining how am doing, at same time with multiple windows. Kindly post video on this, how to do on youtube or any platform. will be great, of you, many thanks for reply.
Thank you it seems easier thant i expected, now i have a question can my students see youtube videos and listen to the audio while we are conected on skype?
Yes but you need to set systems sound
@@ttvRussell Thank You so much for your respond :)
Please reply
With how many students can I screen share simultaneously and will that consume more and more internet data as the number of students increases?
Yes, it will use more data and I think the current limit is 25 but it might have changed recently as many things changing with tech at the moment.
@@ttvRussell thanks
Thanks! Will test this out tomorrow!
I hope the video was useful.
Is there a way to prevent your viewers' capability to screenshot or video record from happening? I want to protect my material.
Diego, in reality the answer is no. There are now too many ways they can do it.
Thank You, I have to do a presentation for school. It has been difficult for me to follow but you made it look easy.
I have some new stuff coming out very soon. It might be worth signing up to the newsletter on my website www.teachertrainingvideos.com/sign-up. Hopefully thinks will get easier for you.
This is so well explained ....thank you so much
Glad it was helpful, Jan Kin. Please 'share'. 😃
I don’t t see the screen share icon . Do you need a business account as I have a typical free account
Nixon, are you using an IPad? that might be the reason. It might also be the version of SKYPE you have.
I have a comment, I have been using Skype and screen share how it possible to see like student when share picture and student can see a bigger image of your cam still. I'm so frustrated about this i would expect it to be possible just don't know how.
I guess it means you might not be doing it correctly. When you screen share, you must minimize the skype window so that the students don't see you but see what is on your screen.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I cannot share my sound i do not get the little switch to share the sound everything else works fine . when i play a short cd i can hear it but the other person cannot .can you please help .
You need to share your computer sound when you screen share. I think the button is called share systems audio or share computer sound. Screen sharing shares the sound but not the audio.
Hello again Russell, Any idea why Microsoft Teams invites are getting stuck in my drafts folder? I try to send again from the drafts but impossible.
Alec, I am sorry, I have no idea.
Very nice video. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for the comment. I have some new stuff coming out very soon.
Hello and thank you for the very interesting video. Can you share our screen with more than one person? Its working? Thanks again
Hi Stelios, yes everyone that is on the call will see your screen. Another tool to look out for is Zoom. Very good and very cheap
Yes, you can share your screen with multiple people on Skype, and it should work smoothly as long as everyone is connected to the call.
Do I need to use air dots or headphone during chatting?
Best to have headphones with a mic. It all works much better.
This video was super helpful and understandable. Thank so much!
Glad I could help.
Well explained, thank you!
Morris, I am glad it was useful.
Very clear. Thank you.
Thanks, Anne. I try my best. R
When I share my screen, I have a few students who advise they can't see what I'm sharing clearly. Everything I see on my screen, they can't see or it's too small. I am wondering if there is a zoom ratio that I can suggest them to set their computer to that might assist. TIA for your help!
Heather, apologies I was away. I don't use Skype much these days. In theory they should see you full screen on their computers. When you screen share, make sure you click on SCREEN as the sharing option and make sure they have maximised their SKYPE windows..I really can't help you anymore than that-Sorry.
Thanks for this video. I do teach with skype with screen share, often by copying a question (on e.g sniping tool) and annotating it with my graphics tablet. Do you know of any way that the student could write on the snipping tool copy at the same time as I can write on it? Thanks
sorry Frank, I am not familiar with that tool, so I don't know the answer.
Amazing video thanks.. I have a question please:
With how many students we can share the screen?
I think you can have up to 25 on SKYPE but not 100%. Whoever is in the call can see your screen share.
@@ttvRussell thanks alot 🌺
This video is very helpful for this kind of situation due to Covid19 crisis. We have to conduct our meetings via skype. :)
Yes, Skype is good. There might be better platforms (Adobe Connect, for example) but it is perfectly good for conducting meetings.
thank you so much for your explanation

Ya, sure..
I can screen share ... but not the sound? I wanted my friend to watch the you tube video with me, they could see the video but not hear the sound... how do i do that?
Have you enabled 'share computer sound / audio' when the window pops up after you go to share screen. Check out this part of this tutorial: When you go to share your screen to play a video, you do need to enable 'share computer sound'.

I can screen share, share documents etc but I can't share my web sites that I have open on screen. My teacher who I did a trial with could share google with me that she had open on her PC. I am using a mac and the web pages that I had open were not visible in the choices of sharing whereas in Zoom they are. I managed to show her the web pages but in a different way that meant she could still see other things on my screen. Any idea how I can directly share the web pages that I have open? Thanks in advance
When you screen share in Skype, you need to minimise the Skype window, so that the other person sees the web pages that you have open. In this example I show a PowerPoint window, but it doesn't matter, as long as you minimise Skype. You can, of course, also share a link to those specific web pages in the chat window on Skype. Hope that helps. Russell.
Still kinda confusing. But Does this work on mobile too
Sorry that it is confusing. Screen sharing is pretty standard in most teaching tools though I think Zoom does it much better than SkYPE.. You can't screen share on a mobile but you can receive screen share on a mobile.
Hi, can you please help me on how to share screen on Skype video call with another person eg. on the screen I can see myself on half of the screen and the other person takes up the other half. Is that possible? Thank you in advance
Once you screen share, you must minimize your skype window so that they can see the content on your screen and not you showing your webcam.
@@ttvRussell Hi Russell, I was asking to be able to see nothing else but myself and the person I am talking too. Can you help me with that? Also for some reason as I was trying to find answer to my question I have changed my Skype from Personal to Business, and I can't use my WebCam anymore. Would you have any idea what I have done wrong? I don't want Skype Business. Thank you in advance for your help
I like the video but how can your wife see your screen and you at the same time sort of split screen?
Yes, she can see my screen if I screen share and she can see anything I do on my screen. When it stop screen share, it goes back to normal. I hope that helps.
With how many people can i share my screen at the sane time Russel???
I honestly don't know. I have only worked with small groups of 3-4. I think it might get complicated if you had many people on a SkYPE call. Sorry I don't know the answer.

Sir, have to teach atleast 30 students who are individually at their home, so can I join all of them together to take classes???
Learn to use Edmodo, that is the best way to organise your class. You might want to try Zoom instead of SKYPE but better with big classes
Yeah, Skype is good for screen sharing and for conducting online classes. Additionally, one can also use tools like Webex, Zoom, R-HUB web video conferencing servers, Gotomeeting etc. for all screen sharing and online teaching needs. These are easy to use and work well on all platforms.

is it the same for group sessions for a skpe personal account?
Yes, I think so.
TWhen I share my screen, it shows as a small box on the top right hand corner. It does not show fully. Any idea why? Raj
Not sure, Raj. It sound like it has been minimised. You need to choose the right display when sharing. You should minimise SKYPE so that what the other pesron sees is your screen, without SKYPE showing, even though it is running. Hope that helps.
