This wikiHow will teach you how to show pictures in chat during a Zoom meeting using the computer client and the mobile app. The two platforms share photos differently. You'll need to use the chat to send a photo file in the computer client, whereas in the mobile app, you only have the ability to share your photo on-screen instead of sending the file.
