# How to share your screen during a proctored session
In this article, we explain what screen sharing is, why it is mandatory for a proctored exam, and how it helps ensure a fair and secure assessment. Screen sharing allows the system to monitor your exam screen in real time, without it, the exam **cannot begin**.
## 🖥️ Screen sharing during the exam
### Step 1: Review the instructions
On the screen-sharing page:
* You’ll see a **short visual guide (GIF or preview)** showing how to share your screen
* A message explains that the proctor needs to view your **entire screen** before the exam starts
This ensures all exam activity is visible and monitored correctly.
### Step 2: Click “Share Screen”
Click the **Share Screen** button to proceed.
A system window will open, allowing you to choose what you want to share.
### Step 3: Choose what to share
You’ll see **three options**:
* **Browser (Any browser tab)**
* **Window**
* **Entire Screen**
**Important**
You are expected to select **Entire Screen**. Selecting any other option may prevent you from continuing.
### Step 4: Start sharing
Once you’ve selected **Entire Screen**:
* Click **Share**
* Your screen sharing will begin
* The proctoring system will confirm the screen is visible
After this step, you’ll be allowed to proceed with the exam.
### Key things to remember
* Screen sharing is **mandatory** for all proctored exams
* Always select **Entire Screen** when prompted
* Do not stop screen sharing during the exam
* If you face issues, use the **Need Help** option
