The Problem

Most Screen Sharing on Mac Could Be Better

The tools built into macOS and meeting apps weren't designed for large or ultrawide displays.

Screen sharing is a staple of remote work, teaching, and presentations. But on large and ultrawide monitors, the standard approach — share the whole screen — produces content that's too small, too wide, or too exposed.

The alternative, sharing a single window, breaks down when a window is wider than a standard frame or when you need to switch between several apps during one presentation.

  • Squished content. Wide desktops get compressed to fit the meeting frame, making everything harder to read.
  • Privacy exposure. The whole screen is visible, including messages, tabs, and files you'd rather keep private.
  • No focus. Viewers can't tell what matters in a busy, cluttered desktop.
  • Limited tools. Standard sharing offers no way to draw, spotlight, or keep a consistent aspect ratio.
The Solution

ZoneShare: Professional Screen Sharing for Mac

A full set of tools for sharing exactly what you want, the way you want it.

  • Selective screen sharing. Mirror only the region you choose into a window or virtual camera — never your whole desktop.
  • Custom screen regions. Position and size your region precisely, with presets for the most common ratios.
  • Aspect ratios. Keep your share at 16:9 or another standard ratio so it always fits the meeting frame.
  • Presentation tools. Spotlight, blur, draw, zoom, and time your presentation — right inside the shared region.
  • Keyboard shortcuts. Switch between regions and tools instantly with customizable hotkeys.

ZoneShare brings together everything you need for professional screen sharing on macOS: selective regions, standard aspect ratios, drawing and annotation, spotlight, blur, keystroke visualization, and a built-in timer. It works in Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, and any app that can share a window or use a webcam.

Every guide in this section is built on the same workflow. Start with the basics in sharing only part of your screen, then explore the guides below for your specific scenario.

FAQ

Screen Sharing on Mac Questions

Everything you need to know about better screen sharing with ZoneShare

How is ZoneShare different from the built-in Mac screen sharing?

macOS and meeting apps share your entire screen or a single window. ZoneShare lets you mirror any custom region — with precise control over ratio, size, and position — and adds spotlight, drawing, blur, and timer tools on top.

Does ZoneShare work with Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet?

Yes. Share the Zone Share window with any app that supports window sharing, or select the Zone Share Camera as your webcam in Zoom, Teams, Meet, Discord, and more.

Can I share a custom region instead of a whole screen?

Yes. That's the core of ZoneShare. You frame any part of your screen — with presets like 16:9 or a fully custom area — and share only that region.

What can I do while sharing besides showing my screen?

ZoneShare adds a drawing toolbar, spotlight, zoom controls, keystroke visualization, and a timer — all applied directly to the region you're sharing.

Is my screen content recorded or uploaded?

No. ZoneShare only mirrors the selected region locally on your Mac. Nothing is recorded, stored, or sent anywhere.

What macOS versions are supported?

ZoneShare supports macOS 14 Sonoma and newer versions, including the latest macOS release.

Is ZoneShare free?

ZoneShare is free to download from the App Store and lets you mirror a portion of your screen. Pro adds custom frame size, blur, hotkeys, and more.
