The SDK documentation for v5.2.42037.1112 says that `IMeetingShareController::UnlockShare()` is deprecated and do not to use ([ZOOM Windows SDK: IMeetingShareController Class Reference](https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-windows/class_i_meeting_share_controller.html#a81ac09dd0ac9286afd5d92918616b8c2)). Is there a replacement for this functionality?

My client application uses the **custom UI** (both Windows and iOS). I would like any attendee to be able to share their screen. The iOS SDK documentation for `MobileRTCMeetingService::lockShare(BOOL)` says nothing about deprecation, so I assume that when an iOS client is host, the app can unlock sharing using `lockShare(NO)`. How do I unlock sharing on the Windows client?

Hey @rob.vandersloot,

Thanks for using the dev forum!

Hmm, that is strange. Let me follow up with the team on this one.

Thanks!

Hey @rob.vandersloot,

There appears to be a mistake in the iOS reference and it should be marked as deprecated in that platform of the SDK as well.

As for a replacement for this functionality, we do not currently provide one.

Thanks!  
Michael
