How to Use Android’s Partial Screen Sharing Feature Like a Pro
Android 15 introduced a powerful privacy tool: Partial Screen Sharing. This lets you share only a selected portion of your screen during video calls or presentations, helping protect sensitive information such as messages, notifications, or open apps running in the background.
How Partial Screen Sharing Works
When enabled, this feature allows users to draw or select a section of the screen to share while hiding other information from the viewer. It's especially useful in business meetings, online classes, or recorded app demos. You can also control what information coworkers or classmates can see in real time.
Steps to Use Partial Screen Sharing
- Start a video call using apps like Google Meet or Zoom.
- Tap the Share screen option.
- Select Partial screen.
- Highlight the area of the screen you want to share.
Best Tips for Effective Use
- Close unused apps before starting to avoid distractions.
- Use a stylus or finger to define screen boundaries accurately.
- Test before meetings to avoid live glitches.
This feature is a game-changer for anyone giving presentations or collaborating remotely. Don’t just share your screen—control it!
