How to Share a Presentation in Firefox

Group Video and Webinars Video Broadcasts are powerful ways to engage during events and ensure personal, meaningful connections.

Whether you are using Firefox on a Mac or a PC, you can share a PowerPoint or Google Slides presentation during your live video with screen sharing. Dual monitors allow you to display the slides on one screen for the participants to view while reading your presenter’s notes on the other monitor.

If you are using a Mac, remember to enable screen sharing as well as camera and microphone access before starting a live video. If you are using a PC, remember to enable your camera and microphone access.

Sharing a Video During Your Presentation

When sharing a video using Firefox, any audio in your presentation can only be delivered through your computer's microphone as it hears the video play. This affects the sound clarity for your audience. For the best audio experience when sharing a video during a presentation, we recommend that you use Google Chrome to share a tab.
