Display Link
Share a web page or URL for all participants to view together.
Display Link lets you share a web page or URL with all meeting participants. The content displays in the meeting interface, allowing everyone to view the same page together.
Who Can Control Display Link

| Host | ✅ |

Starting a Display Link
Click the Display Link button in the meeting toolbar (or access from the Share menu)
Enter the URL you want to share
Click Start Sharing
The web page appears for all participants
Supported Content
Display Link works with web URLs:
- Public websites
- Documentation pages
- Online tools and dashboards
- Pages that allow embedding and can be accessed by each participant
Access requirements
Participants load the URL in an embedded frame. A site's embedding policy, login requirements, or browser restrictions can block it. Use Open in New Tab when needed; this does not bypass the site's access requirements.
For Participants
When a Display Link is active:
- The web content appears in the main meeting area
- You can view the page content
- The embedded page may allow local interaction, including links or forms; it is not a guaranteed read-only view
- Authorized meeting controls select the shared URL; navigation or form entry within a participant's frame is not shared browsing
