**Description**  
We have a requirement where we need to hide the Share Screen button for participants but should be visible and workable for Hosts.

We have enables the Share Screen feature in the account setting. But by doing this it is showing the share screen button to the participants but the button is not functional.

Hi @ConnectWithShipra

Thanks for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum, I am happy to help here!  
Have you tried enabling the option **"Disable screen sharing when guests are in the meeting"**  
to see if you can accomplish what you are looking for?

This has not solved this. Participants are still seeing the Share Screen Button. I just want host to see this button and Participants should not see this button.

@ConnectWithShipra,

Thank you for this update. You can disable/hide the Screenshare button via the Init () Function found in Meeting.js:

When the Screenshare button is clicked, users will see the following prompt:
