# Computer desktop
If you use the ENGAGE app on a Windows or macOS device, you can share your desktop or a specific application that's open.
1. Open your menu or tablet.
2. Select **Shared Screen** 
.
3. On the **Shared Screen** page, select **Desktop**, and then select **View desktop**.
4. Select the screen or application that you want to share.
5. **Optional**: Turn on **Share cursor** to show your mouse cursor on the shared screen.
6. **Optional**: If you use a Windows 11 computer, turn on **Share sound** to share your desktop or application audio through the shared screen. To prevent audio feedback, you can't share sound from the ENGAGE application.
7. Select **Share**.
8. If a warning appears that describes a 5 minute share limit. Select **Continue**. For more information about the share limit, see [Sharing media](/engage/essential-features/sharing-media.md).
To select a different screen or application after you start to share, select **Change source** in the upper left corner of the menu.
To cancel the desktop or application share, select **Stop sharing** in the upper-right corner of the **Shared Screen** page.
{% hint style="info" %}
If you share your desktop for over one hour, a prompt is displayed to confirm if you want to continue sharing.

## Interacting with your computer desktop while wearing a VR headset

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/essential-features/sharing-media/computer-desktop.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
