8500 Zip - Enabling Borrower Interview Screen Share in Zip
Screen Share gives Zip users a way to see exactly what a borrower is seeing during an active interview, making it easier to offer real-time guidance without the back-and-forth of trying to describe steps verbally. Instead of guessing where a borrower is stuck, users can simply look and help.
Before You Begin
Screen Share must be enabled in the admin site before use. It requires the Receive notification email with borrower contact information setting to be turned on under Email Setting > Email Preference first.
Key Details

Additional Behavior to Know
Screen Share displays whatever the borrower is sharing, not just the interview page. Content stays visible until sharing is stopped or the browser is closed, so users should treat each session as a live support call and guide the borrower accordingly.
Summary
Screen Share lets authorized Zip users view a borrower's screen in real time during an active interview, making it easy to offer live guidance without the guesswork. It's desktop-only, view-only, and either party can end the session at any time.
