All Screens Mode! When enabled, the host (and participants, if allowed) will be able to view all screens
of the participants in the meeting. This can be a great option for proctoring situations
where our standard tools may not be the best solution. It is important that participants
are not allowed to see each other's screens if using this setting for proctoring.
Check out this Zoom article (opens new window) on how to set up your meeting in all screens mode.
