       a. 'Screen' allows you to navigate to any program on location on the computer. In 
            example the host has two monitors, identified as Screen 1 and Screen 2. Shared
            screens are easily identified by the framed green border.
       b. 'Whiteboard' is a blank screen to use the annotation tools for typing or drawing.
       c. Any open application will appear as a choice, if a specific application is selected
           nothing else will be shared with the attendees unless a new share is selected.

5. Check to 'Share computer sound' at the bottom of the page when sharing locally stored
    video clips with audio, or from a website such as YouTube. 

          

When sharing starts, a green border frames the shared area to easily identify what attendees are viewing. A new menu bar appears at the top of the screen with sharing options, and access to basic meeting options.
