How to Screen Share During Telegram Live Streams

Telephones’ live streams, also referred to as live video broadcasts, enable you to share your screen view with thousands of others in groups, channels, or public live streams. Sharing your screen view is the best way for presentation, tutorials, gaming, webinars, or sharing apps/documents to your target. Until 2026, sharing your screen view has both mobile and computer capabilities for high-quality sharing and various camera angles.

Important Notes:

• You have to have admin access or permission to broadcast in this group/channel.
• The ability to share screens is only possible during a video streaming session and not during a voice chat.
•  The viewer can watch it in full screen mode and be able to see your shared screen.
