Sharing a zone in Zoom, Teams, or OBS

Mirror a single zone into a meeting so you share exactly one region instead of your whole screen.

VirtualZones can expose one zone as its own window, so screen-share apps can share exactly that region — with whatever is underneath it — instead of your entire display.

Toggle a zone share

Turn a zone’s live mirror on or off in one of two ways:

• Right-click the tray icon → Share Zone → pick the zone, or
• Press Ctrl+Alt+1 for zone 1, Ctrl+Alt+2 for zone 2, and so on.

While a zone is shared, a dashed blue frame marks it on your screen (solid borders are normal zones, dashed means shared). The frame is for you — viewers never see it.

Pick it in your meeting app

In Zoom, Teams, or OBS, open the native share picker and choose the window titled “Virtual Zones - Sharing Zone N”. That window streams only that zone’s content.

This is different from normal screen sharing: you are sharing a single region of your monitor as if it were its own display, so the rest of your screen — other apps, notifications, private notes — stays off the call.

Turn it off

Press the same Ctrl+Alt+N again, or use the tray menu, to stop mirroring that zone. The dashed frame disappears.

The share feature is the only part of VirtualZones that captures anything, and only for the specific zone(s) you toggle on. Plain zone confinement never captures or mirrors — every app renders natively at full speed.
