To share a program, it must be running and visible on your Windows taskbar. If you don’t see the program you want to share in Lync, use desktop sharing instead:

At the bottom of the meeting window, pause on the Presentation icon.
On the Present tab, select Desktop to share the content on your desktop.

Tip: If you need to show a video, insert it in a PowerPoint presentation and upload the file in the meeting to play the video.

Program sharing isn’t available for the applications below, but you can use desktop sharing instead:

Lync
Lync Recording Manager
File Explorer
Sticky Notes
Windows Sidebar
Programs with user privileges higher than the privileges for Lync, such as Command Prompt

Program sharing is not available if you are conducting your meeting on a remote computer running Windows Vista, or an older version of Windows Server 2008.
