# How do I configure a Conference so everybody could share content (screen, etc)?

You can show your entire desktop or just a program to everyone in a Skype Meeting, call, or instant messaging (IM) conversation.

Keep in mind that you need to be a presenter in a Skype Meeting to share your screen. If the option is grayed out or you see a message that says "Sharing controls are disabled by policy," ask one of the presenters to give you presenter access.


On the sharing toolbar, on top of the screen:-

Click Give Control to share control of your desktop or program with the participants

If you want a meeting attendee to share their screen, give them presenter access, so they can use the controls.
