Three lessons: sharing your whole screen, sharing just TimeBack, and stopping when you're done.
First — which Zoom are you in?
This is the part that got us last time. They look almost the same, but the buttons live in different places. Pick one and you'll get all three lessons.
Not sure? Look at the very top of the window. If you can read a web address, pick the browser.

Green border = it's working.
To stop in the app: mouse to the very top of the screen → red Stop Share
To stop in a browser:Stop sharing on the white bar at the bottom — not Hide
If it still won't work, that's not on you. Some school laptops block it until someone flips a setting. Tell me on our next call and we'll fix it together — don't spend your whole morning fighting it.
