# Share a screen during an interview session

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:** Participants are automatically prompted to share their screen when you share stimuli during a session. For more information, see [Share stimuli during an interview session](/interview-studies/conduct-an-interview-session/share-stimuli-during-an-interview-session.md).
{% endhint %}

Sharing your screen during an interview session can be a great way to get feedback from a participant on a concept or prototype. It can also be helpful to have a participant share their screen with you so you can see exactly what they’re seeing.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** Session **moderators** and **participants** can share their screens during **desktop** interview sessions. Only **participants** can share their screens during **mobile** interview sessions. (Session observers and guests will be able to **see** screens as they are shared during a session regardless of device type.)
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
During your session, click the **Share screen** icon in the bottom right corner. Your browser’s share permissions window is displayed.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Follow your browser’s prompts to select a window or screen to share.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** If you need to share your system’s audio as well as your screen, be sure to select that when prompted by your browser. When using a Chrome browser, this option appears in the same modal where you’ll select which screen to share.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Now, your selected window or screen is shared with the participant. The screen share will be captured in the session recording so you can review it later during analysis. To stop sharing your screen, click the **Share screen** icon again or click **Stop sharing** at the top of the shared window:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.dscout.com/interview-studies/conduct-an-interview-session/share-a-screen-during-an-interview-session.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
