Learn how to share an open app or your desktop with the people in your Skype for Business meeting. They'll see anything that you do with that app or your desktop in real time.

Skype for Business will remind you that everyone in the meeting will be able to see everything on that screen. Do a quick check to make sure you're okay with that, then click OK.

Sharing your desktop or a program in a Skype for Business meeting keeps everyone on the same page.
If you only plan to show one app, choose Present Programs.
When you need to switch between two or more apps, you should Present Desktop.
For this meeting, I'll share my desktop because we're pulling data from an Excel spreadsheet into a PowerPoint deck.
I already have both files open.
But since everyone in the meeting will see my entire desktop, Skype for Business warns me to hide anything that's not public.
Ok, everything looks good.
I need to build a new slide around these Excel numbers, so I'll copy and then paste them into a new PowerPoint slide in our deck.
With Skype for Business, desktop sharing works on iPhones, the Skype for Business client, and the web app.
Alex is on a landline, so he'll just listen in.
