Screen share

What Is Screen Share?

Screen share is a feature within the ON24 Intelligent Engagement Platform that allows presenters to broadcast their screen to a remote audience during a webinar or virtual conference. This capability enables teams to display slides, demos, product interfaces, browser windows, documents, or real-time workflows directly to participants.

Screen sharing is commonly used for product demonstrations, software tutorials, training sessions, and detailed walk-throughs that require visual explanation. As part of the ON24 webinar experience, screen share works alongside engagement tools described on the ON24 webinar capabilities page.

Why It Matters

Screen sharing enhances the clarity and value of digital events. Presenters can show exactly what they are describing, guiding attendees through complex topics or detailed processes step by step. This improves comprehension and supports a more immersive experience.

In addition to education and product demonstrations, screen share is crucial for live collaboration, customer enablement, and interactive conversations. When attendees can see a live interface or workflow, they gain practical understanding that is difficult to convey through slides alone.

For marketers and demand-generation teams, screen share can increase the perceived value of a session and improve overall attendee satisfaction. For deeper content planning strategies that complement screen share, teams often review resources on the Propel Your Pipeline page.

How It’s Used

• Product Demonstrations: Presenters use screen share to show how software features work, walk through dashboards, or highlight new product capabilities. This is common in product marketing and customer education programming.
• Live Tutorials And Training: Training teams rely heavily on screen share for step-by-step walkthroughs. This ensures attendees can follow along visually and retain information more effectively.
• Webinar Content Delivery: Screen share is often used when presenters need to showcase dynamic content—such as live data, website navigation, or interactive tools. These experiences pair well with engagement features, and examples of such sessions are frequently listed on the Upcoming Webinars page.
• Collaboration And Panel Discussions: During multi-presenter events, panelists can share their screens to display examples, highlight research, or support discussion points.
• Customer Enablement And Support: Customer success teams use screen sharing to demonstrate workflows, resolve questions, and help users understand platform functionality.

• Higher Engagement: Real-time demos and workflows increase interactivity.
