SharePlay offline content
Hi there
If I’m watching a video locally, say in my gallery or on VLC, will the SharePlay option pop up?
If not how can I SharePlay a local video?

Hey there, Eliklein02!
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! That's a great question you have about sharing your local content with others. Since SharePlay is for content that both parties have access to, and the content you'd like to share is local, you can try the steps in this article to Share your screen in FaceTime call on iPhone. This will allow you to share your screen to allow others on a FaceTime call to view your local videos.
Thanks again for the question and have a terrific day!

Thank you I appreciate it, but that doesn’t mention anything about the camera usage while sharing my screen, for some reason while I share my screen, the other participants in the call can’t see me, and it says camera is off.
That's a great additional question you have about the camera while using FaceTime to share the screen. When you share the screen, the camera will not share your picture from the camera since it will only show your screen. You can chekc out the App Store to see if there are apps that will allow you to share your screen and the view from your camera at the same time.
Have a great day!
I hear that, but if that’s the case then why do they see a box in the corner where my face should be, just instead they see my initials, just like when I shut off my camera?
