Overview: Class allows you to showcase the content on your screen using the screen share feature.
This creates a forced-follow experience for your participants and provides you with complete control over the pace at which your learners are exposed to the material.
If you are unable to share on macOS, please follow the steps in this knowledge base article.

You will not see your shared content within the Class app – the screen being shared will show a green box around the content being displayed. To see students while sharing, select Video Placement: Float. This will bring the gallery view outside of the app in order to be seen during a screen share.
Share Screen: If you have a slideshow that you want to share, you would choose to Share Screen so that you are able to maintain control of the navigation pace and display of the slides to participants.
Share Files: If you upload the slides in Share Files, participants can navigate the slides on their own but won’t see your navigation, even if you choose to present the uploaded file on your end of Class.
Think of the difference like this: in Share Files, you’ve just given participants access to the files: to download, scroll through, view at their own pace, etc. But when you’re presenting a slideshow through Screen Sharing, you’re controlling how and when the slides advance.
