So, what is an easy way to do this?

I think so. Thanks.

The person with the images to share can take control of the presentation by "screen sharing" and choosing a photo viewing window. I am partial to Adobe Bridge.

This is about the chat function, which I use, not about making a photo presentation (or at least that’s what I gathered). I was not the original asker but it so happens I have to make a presentation to my camera club of about 25 images on Monday evening and have no idea how to do it so if anyone can further illuminate the process I’d be grateful.

Request the organizer to grant you Presenter rights. Then share the screen where you have the images- Could be LR with the images in a folder. or a LR slide show. Ask the organizer if you can have a practice session to make sure you both get the transfer of control sorted out and your share works.

You can always use a virtual background and step away from the camera.
I tried it just the other day. The only thing I noticed is that the system flipped the image horizontally, giving backwards script where there was writing. I deleted that background, flipped the image horizontally, and re-set the background and everything was OK.

Hi jsfphotos

I "share/show" pictures (assuming a Windows computer) during a Zoom call as follows:

1. If you are the host, you are ready to go. If you are not the host, the host/moderator will have to "spotlight" you or temporarily assign you co-host capabilities.
2. Open the directory with the pictures inside. I do this before the call so I can easily see the little box at the bottom of my computer screen.
3. When it's time to show the pictures, click the green icon at the bottom of the screen that says "Share Screen." When that window opens, select your picture folder or individual picture, and click the "share" button at the bottom right of the screen. I change the picture using the arrow key but you may have another method that works for you. NOTE: If you want to "show" a video clip rather than a picture, be sure to click the two boxes at the bottom of the share screen that mentions "audio options" before clicking the share button - only do so if you want to share the video's audio.
4. When you are done with your picture presentation, click the red "stop share" button near the top of the screen.

Good luck!

Excellent advice about a practice session first.

Before the organizer grants screen sharing to you, have the program or file folder already open on your screen. I have found that this makes things easier.

Another tip is to uninstall, and then install it again. This way you will have the latest version. Sometimes this makes a difference.

This might help:

Thanks, Al. I am the host, so I will try it out.

I recently did a presentation for two camera clubs. It contained over 50 images. I created a PowerPoint presentation and shared my screen with the entire group (two groups, actually; one of about 30 and one of about 60). We all kept our mikes on. The presentation went great.
