To share a program, it must be running and visible on your Windows taskbar. If you don't see the program you want to share in Lync, use desktop sharing instead:
-
At the bottom of the meeting window, pause on the Presentation
icon. -
On the Present tab, select Desktop to share the content on your desktop.
Tip: If you need to show a video, insert it in a PowerPoint presentation and upload the file in the meeting to play the video.
Program sharing isn't available for the applications below, but you can use desktop sharing instead:
-
Lync
-
Lync Recording Manager
-
File Explorer
-
Sticky Notes
-
Windows Sidebar
-
Programs with user privileges higher than the privileges for Lync, such as Command Prompt
Program sharing is not available if you are conducting your meeting on a remote computer running Windows Vista, or an older version of Windows Server 2008.
