The instructors on macOS and Windows have the ability to see their shared content within the Class app as they are sharing. The screen being shared will show a green box around the content being displayed to learners. To see learners while sharing, select Video Placement: Float. Changing the Video Placement to Float will bring the gallery view outside of the app in order to be seen during a screen share.

Share Screen: If the instructor has a slideshow that they want to share, they would choose to Share Screen so that they are able to maintain control of the navigation pace and display of the slides to learners. 

Share Files: If you upload the slides in Share Files, learners can navigate the slides on their own but won’t see the instructor’s navigation, even if they choose to present the uploaded file at the 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, the instructors is controlling how and when the slides advance.
