Use this interactive demo to learn how to grant remote control to a participant in Zoom.

Quick summary

This demo walks you through how to give remote control in a Zoom meeting, allowing another participant to take over your mouse and keyboard. By sharing your screen and using the Remote Control feature, you can hand off control to any attendee in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. On Zoom's main dashboard, click 'New Meeting' to get started.
  2. Head over to the menu bar and click 'Share'.
  3. Select the screen you wish to share and then tap 'Share'.
  4. Go to the top menu bar and click 'Remote Control'.
  5. Select the participant to whom you want to give Mouse and Keyboard Control.

📌 Why this matters

Zoom's remote control feature is essential for IT support teams, trainers, and collaborators who need to take over a participant's screen during a live meeting. By granting mouse and keyboard control directly from the screen share toolbar, hosts can troubleshoot issues, guide walkthroughs, or co-edit in real time without switching tools. This capability makes Zoom a powerful platform for remote support and hands-on virtual training sessions.
