Recently I discovered that I can use Zoom for sharing my iOS screen. I can even control other meeting participant's screens (Windows and Mac) with participant approval. In my research, it appears that this feature has existed since iOS 11 and piggy-backs on the ability to screen-record.
That means that a iPad user can run a meeting and present in Keynote or other apps like Pages, Numbers, Photos, etc... I noticed that showing the insides of some apps does not seem to work.
A neat bonus of using Zoom on iOS is the ability to have a virtual background. If you don't want your co-workers to know you are participating in a meeting at the beach, coffee shop, you can use a default background or pick your own from the Photos app. Zoom does a rather good job of removing the real background.
After discovering this screensharing option with Zoom I check and see that WebEx can share iOS screen. When searching Adobe Connect, I could not find any documentation about then having this option yet.
Since the basic meeting features of Zoom and WebEx are free, this makes them really useful productivity tools for the iOS devices and decreases the need for more traditional and expensive computers. iOS devices are good for more than consumption of other people's content.
Saving money is not a crime.
