Getting started
- Open ViewZone and click Select Area to Share.
- Drag a box around what you want to share.
- In your meeting app, choose Share → Window and pick "ViewZone — Shared Area".
Adjusting the area
- Resize: hover just outside the blue border until the arrows appear, then drag an edge or corner.
- Move: hover inside the top-left corner of the area, then drag the grip that appears.
- New area: press ⌃ ⌥ ⌘ R on a Mac, or Ctrl Alt Shift R on Windows, in any app.
- The border and grip never appear in what you share.
Common questions
The app keeps asking for Screen Recording permission.
This only happens on a Mac. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen & System Audio Recording and turn on ViewZone. Then quit and reopen the app. macOS applies the permission only after a restart. Windows doesn't need this permission.
My meeting shows a black or frozen window.
Keep the Shared Area window open. It can sit behind other windows or on another display, but don't minimize it. Most meeting apps stop sending a minimized window.
The Shared Area window covers what I'm sharing.
Move it to a second display, or put it behind your other windows. It keeps updating either way.
Which apps does it work with?
Any app that can share a single window, including Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, and most webinar and streaming apps.
What do I need to run it?
Mac: macOS 13 Ventura or later. ViewZone runs natively on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
Windows: Windows 10 (version 2004 or later) or Windows 11.
