To share your desktop, point to the Share icon, and click Desktop.
You can share your desktop and open programs only if you are a presenter, and have installed the Lync Web App plug-in.
The shared content is displayed in the meeting stage on everyone’s computer, while your meeting stage only displays You’re presenting Desktop/Program Name. A yellow outline is shown around the shared desktop or program on your computer.
Important: Lync for Mac 2011 users and Macintosh users running Lync Web App can share only their desktops, not open programs. While sharing is in progress, a sharing icon is displayed in the top part of the meeting stage. Users will also only be able to share their primary monitor, not a secondary monitor.

Mar 02, 2017 Hi Gareth. In our organization we like the Skype for Business product, however the views do become an issue especially on the web client. I’ve seen where others complain due to the size of the presentation window that some want a full screen option just for the presentation much like GoToMeeting or WebEx.
Only one participant can share their desktop or open program at a time. While you are sharing, the sharing toolbar is displayed at the top of the meeting stage on your computer. With the options in the toolbar, you can give control of your computer to another participant as well as end the sharing session. Other meeting participants see a button on the meeting stage which they can use to request control of what you are sharing. After they get control, they’ll see a button to release control.
Customize file auto-download settings. (Not available in Skype for Web or mobile) Notifications Increase, reduce, or eliminate what events Skype alerts you to. Manage Do Not Disturb functions. Manage email notifications. Sync contacts. (Not available in Skype for Windows or Linux) Manage your blocked contacts. May 28, 2020 Skype for Business on Mac is the all new client that provides great communication experiences for Apple users. Features like one-click join, edge-to-edge video, and full screen sharing give you a superior Skype Meetings experience.
² If one participant is already in control when another requests control, the latter sees the notification Another participant is requesting control. Try again later. ³ If multiple requests come in one after another, they are accepted in order. Because each acceptance overrides the previous acceptance, the last request accepted is the one in control. The participant who currently has control sees the notification You are in control.--> Symptoms
