You're never too old for show-and-tell.

Skype's screen sharing feature allows you to broadcast whatever is on your computer monitor to anyone you're on a video call with. This can include videos, PowerPoint slideshows, or even just an internet browser.

However, it should be noted that sharing your screen takes a bit more internet bandwidth than regular Skype video chatting. You can see if you have the bandwidth to support screen sharing at this Skype support page.

If you meet the requirements, here's how you activate screen sharing with Skype.

How to share your screen on Skype for PC and Mac

1. Open Skype and start a call with the person you want to share screens with.

2. Press the Share Screen button at the bottom right — it looks like two overlapping rectangles.

You'll need to click the two overlapping rectangles.

3. Skype will ask you if you want to share your computer's audio or not. This will share the sound that your computer is making, which is great if you're playing a video, but may make it harder to talk over the call.

Skype will show you a preview of the shared screen first, so you can see how your screen will appear.

If you're on a Mac, Skype will require you to grant it permission to record your screen. You should be prompted by a message to do this.

If it says that your Mac doesn't have permission to use screen sharing, go to your Mac's System Preferences menu, open the "Security & Privacy" menu, select "Screen Recording" in the left sidebar menu, and give permission to Skype.

You'll find screen recording options in your "Security & Privacy" menu.

4. Once your screen is being shared, a yellow border will appear around the edges of your screen to tell you that screen sharing has been successfully turned on. The person you're talking to should now get a live stream of your feed. What people on the call see may lag a few seconds behind what you're actually doing.

How to share your screen on Skype using Google Chrome

There's a version of Skype that you can use in your browser. However, only the Google Chrome version of "Skype for Web" supports screen sharing.

1. Log into Skype online on Chrome and make a call.

2. Press the Share Screen button at the lower-right corner of the call.

The call screen in Skype for Web looks almost exactly the same as the application version.

3. Skype will ask you if you want to share a specific Chrome tab, a specific application, or if you'd like to record your entire screen. Select the option that's best for you.

Sharing only a specific application window will record it even while it's minimized, or on another monitor.

If you're on a Mac and it tells you that Google Chrome doesn't have permission to record the screen, go to the System Preferences app, open the "Security & Privacy" menu, select "Screen Recording" in the left sidebar menu, and give permission to Google Chrome.

2. Press the "..." button in the corner, and then "Screen Sharing."
