Skype has made working from home easier than ever, provided you have an internet connection.

How to Share Screen on Skype
Here we will learn how your PC screen can be shared as a live video with another person through Skype. Before sharing, please check your window once to makes sure that you don’t have anything that you wish to be shared with the other person.

Note:
The person will only be able to view the activities you perform but won’t be able to access your files in any way.
- 5. Once you are done, to stop sharing the screen tap again on the + button and click on the Stop sharing option
The screen sharing session will be ended and you will be able to continue on the voice or video call without sharing your screen.
A Live Recording for Screen Sharing on Skype
What if you want to record a video of your screen sharing on Skype with your fellow mate? Skype does not have such a feature and you will have to depend on other applications like Filmora, which is one of the best and widely used video editing applications in the market.
The screen recorder in Filmora allows you to record the screen of your desktop including the audio and save it on your computer.
Here we will be discussing how the screen record function works on Windows.
Note:
Start recording on Filmora before you start sharing the screen on Skype if you don’t want the other person to know that you are recording.
- 1. Download Filmora from here , then open it and click New Project to enter the editing mode
- 2. Click the Record button and from the options select the Record PC Screen
- 3. The built-in screen recorder will pop up
- 4. You can go to the recording settings by the Settings icon, and set the hotkeys for your recording. Or you can also enable the option by checking the Record the Camera Stream to record your webcam simultaneously and also adjust the frame rate.
- 5. Once you are done with the settings, Click the Red button to start the recording.
- 6. Now you can call your mate and start video sharing on Skype. The whole screen sharing process will be recorded by Filmora. After you finish the recording, the recorded file will show up in the media library automatically. You can right-click it, select Reveal in Explorer to target it on your Desktop folders.
Note:
The steps to record screen on Mac are similar to Windows.
To Sum up
The use of applications like Skype and Filmora has made working from home easier than ever before. Sharing screen, online meetings, seminars, demonstrations, etc. can easily be done sitting at home with the help of these apps.
