No, only the person sharing their screen needs iMyFone MirrorTo. The viewer can see the shared screen on Skype without additional software.

2 Can I share my phone screen on a call?

Yes, you can share your phone screen during a call using various applications and features depending on your device and the platform you are using. Here are some common methods:

Skype: Skype allows screen sharing during calls. Simply click on the "+" button during a call and select "Share screens" to choose what you want to share.
Zoom: If you're using Zoom, you can share your phone screen by tapping the "Share" icon during a call and selecting "Screen."
Microsoft Teams: Teams also supports screen sharing during calls. Click on the "Share" icon and choose the screen or application you want to share.
Third-Party Apps: Additionally, some third-party apps like iMyFone MirrorTo, AirServer, or ApowerMirror allow you to mirror your phone screen to a computer, and then you can share that computer screen during a call.

Ensure that the platform you are using supports screen sharing, and if needed, check for updates or additional permissions on your device.

3 Why can't I share my screen on Skype?

Skype Version: Ensure that you are using the latest version of Skype. Outdated versions may have compatibility issues.
Permissions: Check if Skype has the necessary permissions to access your screen. On Windows, ensure that Skype has access to screen sharing in your system settings.
Software Conflicts: Other running software on your computer might conflict with Skype's screen-sharing feature. Close unnecessary applications and try again.
Driver Updates: Ensure that your graphics drivers are up-to-date, as outdated drivers can sometimes cause screen-sharing issues.
Internet Connection: A stable internet connection is crucial for screen sharing. If your internet connection is unstable, it may affect the quality of screen sharing.
Skype Settings: Review Skype settings to ensure that screen sharing is enabled. You can find these settings in the Skype app or desktop client.
Firewall/Antivirus: Check your firewall or antivirus settings to make sure they are not blocking Skype's screen-sharing functionality.
