Let’s have a look at what can be done to create a new room, and how to share the screen there. The thing to note is that you need to have a Facebook messenger account here, in order to be able to create room.

First, let’s see how to create your own room, and then let’s head to see how to share your screen. Alternatively, you can directly jump to step 8, but it is recommended to go with the flow.

• Step 1 – First of all, open WhatsApp web, on your browser, and then scan the QR code from your WhatsApp application on your mobile if required.

• Step 2 – When you have WhatsApp web opened, you can simply click on the three horizontal dots, to see some more options. (Alternative, you can also go to the specific group chat, where you want to create a room, and click on the attachments icon(which looks like a clip), and there you can find the room option. )

• Step 3 – When you click the three dots icon, you can find that there is an option, which says “Create a room”, you have to click on that.

• Step 4 – You can see a popup now, where you have to click on the “CONTINUE IN MESSENGER” option, which will redirect you to the messenger website in your browser.
  Step 5 – If you are asked, you have to log in using your Facebook credentials.

• Step 6 – After you are logged in, you can see a screen, with your Facebook name, an image, and a button, which says “Create Room as ”, followed by your name. You have to click on that button so that the room is created.

• Step 7 – Now, you get a link, which you can copy and send to the people you want to chat with. You have to note that anyone with the link can join, and share the room with others, even if they do not have Messenger or Facebook.

• Step 8 – Now, when you want to share the screen in such a conference, you just need to use the option to share the screen, which is readily available there. When you are on the WhatsApp web, you can get some options, like sharing your entire screen, some application windows, or some of your chrome tab as well. So, you can make your choice, and accordingly share your screen with others.

So, when you are using the WhatsApp web or the desktop version, you can make use of the Rooms feature. So you can create a room, or join some room through the invite, and then share the screen, you have to just use the share your screen option.

If in case, you are joining a room through an external invite link, you just have to click on continue to the messenger when asked, and then once you are logged in, and in the conference, you can use the feature of sharing your screen, in order to share your screen in the conference.
