Sharing Powerpoints On Macs
1. Make sure to allow the browser permissions to access the Screen Recording:
- Open the System preferences
- Navigate to Security & Privacy > Privacy
- Find Screen Recording on the left side and check the box next to the browser you are using
Once the permissions are granted, your browser will be able to choose any applications for screen sharing.
- Open up your Powerpoint presentation and click Set Up Slide Show in the Slide Show menu.
- Select Browsed by an individual (window) and hit OK to save.
4. Start your presentation and enter into presenter (slide show) mode.

- Select Share screen

Make sure to exit full-screen mode on your Chrome or Firefox browser and PowerPoint when sharing the screen. If not, the PowerPoint will not appear in the list of applications due to full-screen mode limitations on Mac.
Things to note:
There isn't a way to allow sound from your PowerPoint to come through in a Session Room.
