✕Common Mistakes

  • Você consegue ver meu tela?

    “Tela” is feminine, so the possessive must be “minha”, not “meu”.

  • Você pode ver minha tela?

    “Pode” is grammatically correct, but “consegue” stresses the ability to actually view the shared screen, which is more natural in this context.

  • Você consegue ver a minha tela?

    The article “a” is optional; native speakers usually omit it in this short request.

↔Alternatives

  • Você está vendo minha tela?

    Are you seeing my screen?

  • Consegue visualizar minha tela?

    Can you visualize my screen?

  • O senhor/a senhora consegue ver minha tela?

    Can you (formal) see my screen?

Cultural Tip

In Brazil, “você” is the default way to address someone informally, even in professional settings. If you need extra politeness—especially with older clients or in very formal business contexts—use “o senhor”/“a senhora”. Also, before asking the question, it’s courteous to briefly explain what you’re sharing (e.g., “Estou compartilhando a apresentação…”) to give the listener context.
