I would like if possible to be able to share two screens side by side belonging to two different people. Not every one on the call will have two screens so I need to be able to share on one. We are using zoom...

Any ideas?

I'm not 100% sure what you are asking, but then I have only had one coffee so far today.

However I am pretty sure you can't have two presenters in Zoom and I'm also pretty sure you can only share one screen at at a time from your own presentation.

It resolves around our Christmas party...

The idea is beat the boss....

Boss screen on one side. Colleague on other,

Competing on stupid tasks.

I'm sure it won't do it out of the box - and am struggling to come up with workarounds.

Screen sharing a presentation/questions/scoresheet or you just want thier 2 video feeds? if the latter you can hide people in gallery view who have thier cameras off so easy to just show 2. Don't know of a way to do it with presentations though.

Is there some software that makes your screen available as a camera source? If so, you just setup the video to use that 'camera' and eve 'screen-share' if they want.

It will but you have to allow multiple (defaults to just one) as per link above.

That's what I was thinking. I think OBS can do it.
