Don t see the program you want to share

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:

1. At the bottom of the meeting window, pause on the Presentation icon.

2. 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.
