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 [](https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/essential-features/sharing-media "mention").

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.

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

To use your hand controllers to interact with your shared desktop, select **VR Control**. By default, the controller trigger functions as a left mouse button. To change the controller trigger to function as a right mouse button, turn on the **Right-click** toggle.
