A Windows helper app to share only a part of a screen via video conference apps that only support either full screen or single window like e.g. Teams, WebEx, etc.

## How it works

This tool simply mirrors the content of a screen region into a hidden window. In your meeting app you then can just share the content of this hidden window.

**Region to Share is not aware of your meeting app nor what the meeting app is doing with the content of the window.**

It's up to your meeting app whether it properly shares this hidden windows content or not - if it's not working as expected, there is nothing Region to Share can do about this.

## Prerequisites

- Windows 10 or 11

- DotNet 4.6.2 or newer

## Installation

- Download and install this app from the [Windows Store](https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9N4066W2R5Q4)

  or pick the latest binaries from the [release page](https://github.com/tom-englert/RegionToShare/releases)

- Now click the "Region to Share" window to start sharing the selected region.

  The window will change to the region selection frame, and others are seeing what's inside this frame.

- Close the region frame to stop showing the region without stopping to share.
