Zoom - Share iPhone & iPad

In our seminar we trade off showing our devices when presenting apps, processes or discoveries. (Since these are our personal devices, with personal information, we do not record our seminars.) 

May 5, 2021 - using Zoom v5.6.4 on Macintosh on Catalina OS 

Reference on how to share iPhone or iPad in a Zoom Meeting 

Set iPad/iPhone Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock to Never (temporarily during Zoom meeting). 
  • For sharing via AirPlay, be sure your computer and iPhone/iPad are on the same wifi. 
  • You may have to “trust” your computer or device (after updates). 
Before clicking Zoom Share Screen button 
  • Open Apple Camera to either Photo or Video mode. 
  • On your Mac computer click Share Screen > iPhone/iPad via AirPlay > Share. 
  • On iPhone at Camera app, swipe to reveal Control Center > Screen Mirroring > tap computer’s name. Tap off Screen Mirroring, tap off Control Screen to see Camera app. 
  • Rotate iPhone to landscape while in Apple Camera - confirm on Video mode. 
  • Place iPhone on rack/lift/ledge with iPad unlocked and showing some white details.
  • Tap/Hold on Camera display to set focus and exposure with yellow box (on an edge).
  • Move iPad to best position under camera lens. 
  • Move iPhone to best position (avoid blocking the camera lens).
  • Pinch on Camera screen to zoom into iPad (some camera buttons will still be visible).
For document camera use - to show your hand using the iPad:
  • Use Share Screen > iPhone/iPad AirPlay (do not plug in a cable to iPhone!) 
  • Open iPhone and Home Screens always show in portrait/vertical orientation. Do not freak-out. 
  • To see landscape/horizontal orientation open Apple Camera to Video mode to fill the screen. Other camera apps do not rotate the orientation even in AirPlay mode! 
After Zoom meeting return to Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock to set your device sleep time. 

Other apps that rotated to landscape view include Calendar, Books, Mail, Contacts, Calculator, Safari, Messages, Notes, Photos, Files. Maps - seems like if an app rotates then it will rotate in Zoom. But Apple Camera does not rotate if the iPhone is attached and sharing via a cable!
