**Description**  
We plan to embed the Web client SDK in our web app. Is there a way to start the meeting and enable sharing automatically? The sharing will only be enabled on the web app page.  
In other words, can we automate the following manual process and make it the default behavior?

1. A host starts the meeting.
2. Selects “Share”.
3. Select the current web tab to share.

Hey @yanflex,

We don’t have a method to automatically start screen sharing. It requires user interaction due to both browser and Zoom security/privacy processes.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,  
Max
