Hi David,

Once you are connected to Zoom from your computer, in the Sharing Options, it is possible to allow multiple participants to share their screen. Enable this option. Then connect to the same Zoom meeting from your iPhone and share your screen. The iPhone output should then be visible on the computer and VoiceOver will be audible from the computer/headphone mike.
This works regardless of whether your phone and computer are on the same network.

Hey Glen,

I thank you for the tip. I've almost got my iPhone sharing.

Thing is; my iPhone is on the 5G portion of the wireless network and the computer hosting the Zoom meeting is on the non 5G version of the network. My iPhone see's my computer when I perform the Screen Share via Control Center (as the documentation suggests) but I continually get an error.

I'm curious if you know what version of Zoom, the iPhone operating system, and any other assistive technologies you might have in play? I'm using the latest release of Zoom, latest release of Windows, latest release of iOS, and latest release of JAWS 2021.

Much appreciated (and sorry to hijack the Android conversation), David

Not sure about Android, but I know if I connect to Zoom from my PC and then share, there's an option to share my iPhone screen (if it's on the same wifi). The audio from VoiceOver comes through Zoom.
