Basic translation and the most useful phrase
The simplest, most natural way to ask Can everyone see the screen? in Brazilian Portuguese is Todos conseguem ver a tela? This is direct, polite, and widely understood in Brazil in both virtual meetings and face-to-face settings.
Breakdown of the phrase:
Todos means everyone or all (used when addressing a group).
conseguem is the third-person plural form of conseguir, meaning can or are able to.
ver means to see.
a tela means the screen. In Portuguese, articles are used more frequently than in English, so a tela is natural.
Alternative natural phrases
Beginners will find a few variations useful depending on formality, context, or device type. Keep these short and easy to memorize.
Vocês conseguem ver a tela? Vocês is a slightly more direct you plural, common in informal situations and many online calls.
Todo mundo está vendo a tela? Todo mundo is very conversational and common in Brazil; it literally means everybody is seeing the screen?
Conseguem ver o meu compartilhamento? Use this when screen sharing in video calls; compartilhamento means sharing.
Está aparecendo a tela para todo mundo? This asks is the screen appearing for everyone? and is useful if someone reports technical problems.
When to use each phrase
Choose based on audience and formality. For classroom or corporate meetings, Todos conseguem ver a tela? or Vocês conseguem ver a tela? are safe. For informal groups or friends, Todo mundo está vendo a tela? sounds casual and natural.
If you are sharing your screen on Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet, Conseguem ver o meu compartilhamento? is specific and clearly communicates that you are the one sharing.

Short dialogues for real situations
These dialogues are realistic and keep language simple for beginners.
Situation: Online meeting
Speaker: Olá pessoal, Todos conseguem ver a tela?
Participant 1: Sim, consigo ver.
Participant 2: Não consigo, sua tela está preta.
Situation: Classroom presentation
Student: Professora, Vocês conseguem ver o meu slide?
Teacher: Consegue abrir de novo? Agora sim, conseguimos ver bem.
Situation: Hybrid meeting with sharing
Presenter: Estou compartilhando o documento. Conseguem ver o meu compartilhamento?

Polite ways to ask and add context
Adding por favor makes your request more polite in formal settings. For example: Todos conseguem ver a tela, por favor? or Vocês conseguem ver a tela, por favor?
When a problem occurs, give quick context: Minha tela não está aparecendo. Vocês conseguem ver alguma coisa? This tells others you have a problem and asks for confirmation.
Common beginner mistakes and how to avoid them
1. Forgetting the article before tela. Saying apenas tela feels unnatural. Use a tela or o seu/ meu compartilhamento.
2. Using the wrong verb form. For a group, use conseguem not consegue. Example error: Você consegue ver a tela? is singular and only addresses one person. Use Vocês conseguem ver a tela? to ask multiple people.
3. Mixing European Portuguese forms. Stick to Brazilian usage like todo mundo and compartilhar instead of alternatives less common in Brazil.
4. Overly literal translations. Directly translating word-for-word from English can create odd phrasing. Use the natural set phrases given above.
Practical variations for devices and contexts
Different devices or contexts might require slight changes. Learn these short options.
On a phone or tablet: Conseguem ver a minha tela no celular?
Referring to a projector: A projeção está visível para todo mundo?
During a webinar: Todo mundo está vendo os slides?
When the video is frozen: O vídeo travou, alguém mais está vendo?
Helpful tips to sound natural
1. Use a rising intonation at the end of the phrase to signal a question, for example when saying Todos conseguem ver a tela?
2. Add por favor for politeness in formal settings or with people you do not know well.
3. Use short follow-up prompts like Agora sim or Só um momento when fixing issues, so listeners know you are working on it.
4. If you need more detail, ask Pode me dizer onde aparece a tela? which means can you tell me where the screen appears? This helps when participants have multiple monitors.
