I have a 34-inch ultra widescreen and sharing the app instead of the window solves this for me. However, I always make sure the app is using half my screen rather than the whole screen. You mentioned you have a laptop so if this is not working for you just move the app to the laptop screen and share that. If you share PowePoint slides make sure you use the PowerPoint live option which shares the file rather than sharing your screen.

My work laptop is connected as well so I might check to see if sharing on that instead works. I think I tried that before with no luck but could be wrong. Only issue is that my ageing eyes are so used to the larger screen that I find looking at the laptop a pain.
Had I know about this issue, I would have just bought 2 * 1080 Screens

Can't you just present the application and not your screen? I know in teams it gives you the option for screen or app but dunno about zoom

Funny - they complain your screen is too small. "But it's 38"!". Of course the issue is that their screens are too small.
Easy. Buy a smaller monitor, link both and share that one. That's what I do. Though nowadays I've found that the quality of my colleagues have improved and they have super-wide huge screens. Or weird mutant eyes.
Otherwise, just share the window.

Most of them are using single/dual 1080p monitors.
Is there any simple/faster workaround without changing my screen resolution?. Work Laptop so I can't install 3rd party software unless authorised.
Thanks
