I tested a range of browser-based internet messaging apps (anymeeting, zoom, google hangouts, some other one who keeps sending me spam). None of them let me pass on my zoomed screen to others but I suspect that's to do with browsers getting their graphics from some separate channel than what I'm getting on my screen via ZT. Therefore I don't think any of these could do that.

If WebEx can that would be amazing (maybe it can because it uses Java but then that's one reason we stopped using it, there was a security issue (CVE-2017-3823)).

Zoom was great in general for accessibility for conferencing, but still looking for what could let me show my magnified screen to others without taking pictures with a separate camera.

cheers
