If you need to access the chat function while screen sharing, first look for the green tab with the Meeting ID on the screen. This is where the toolbar is minimized – you can make it appear by moving the mouse around.

By default, the toolbar is at the top of the screen, but it can be moved to the bottom too.
No-one can see what you are typing in your Chat, as Zoom only lets you share one screen at a time.
