Here are 3 free Android group video conferencing apps with screen sharing. Using these apps, you will be able to do seamless video conferencing as well as share your phone screen with the participants. A couple of these apps allow you to host a video conference with up to 100 participants at a time, whereas, one is limited to only 3 participants in the free version. For simple screen sharing and showing your screen activities to other users, all of them are pretty efficient. Whatever, you will do on your phone screen will be visible to the participants.

We have already covered some of the best free group video conferencing apps for Android. But, most of them don’t come with the screen sharing feature. So, if you’re looking for that exactly, then these apps are your best option. One even has the option to annotate on the screen during a screen sharing session. They also offer other features like text messaging, file sharing, etc.

Let’s get started.

ezTalks:

ezTalks is probably one of the best free group video conferencing apps which comes with the screen sharing feature. It allows you easily share your phone screen with all the participants of a video conferencing session. You can conduct a video conference with up to 100 users completely free and for as many times as you want. That also means you can have unlimited screen sharing sessions. There are other useful features offered by this app such as Whiteboard sharing, polling, audio conference, text messaging, etc.

To share your screen just follow the steps below.

How to Screen Share using ezTalks on Android:

Step 1: To get started, simply open the app and then start a video conference by selecting the “Host a Meeting” option on the main screen. Then you can share the meeting id with others to join the conference.

Step 2: Once they do that, you can proceed to share your phone screen. To do that, the first thing you need to do is press the “Share” icon at the bottom and then select the “Screen” option. When you do that, a popup will appear asking you to confirm screen sharing. You can simply click on “Start Now” to proceed.

Step 3: As soon as you do that, the screen sharing will start and all the activities you do on your phone will be visible to the video conference members. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have any annotation option. Now, you can again click on the “Share” icon at the bottom to either pause screen sharing or stop it completely.

Closing Words:

So, these are some of the best free Android apps with the video conferencing and screen sharing features. Personally, I like “Zoom.us” as apart from letting you simply share your phone screen, it also allows you to make the conference more understandable by annotating on the screen. But, for simple screen sharing, I think all these apps are perfect.
