I haven't tried sharing my screen on Zoom yet, but I have practiced sharing the screen of my Note Pro on Teams.
First, I logged into Teams on my laptop. Then, I logged into Teams via wifi on my Note Pro. Once I was connected, I selected the share screen option on the Note Pro and I could then view it on my laptop.
The first time I tried this, the results were very interesting. When using the stylus in the note app or when annotating a document, the word or image would only show up on my laptop after I had completed it. It would not show up as I was writing/drawing it on the Note Pro. When trying to erase something, sometimes it would get erased from the shared screen visible on the laptop, but it would still be visible on the Note Pro. It wasn't a matter of a ghost image still being visible. The entire image/stroke was still there in full clarity. I would have to force a full refresh of the screen for the Note Pro to register that the image/stroke had been deleted. Sometimes pages wouldn't turn when sharing a PDF, particularly if I had zoomed in on the image. When I tried switching to landscape mode on the Note Pro, it would make the switch correctly, however, the shared screen which was visible on my laptop would look like it were still in portrait mode, but it would be elongated... I found that the experience was glitchy, but usable so long as you were aware of its quirks and how to recover from them.
My second experience testing the Note Pro on Teams was much smoother. Writing/drawing continued to show up only after the image had been completed not while it was in progress. However, there were no issues with the eraser this time. There were also no issues with sharing and annotating a PDF this time although I did not attempt to zoom in on the PDF nor did I attempt to put it into landscape mode. In all, it was a much more pleasurable experience.
I intend to play around with it a bit more, and, if everything goes well, might try it during an actual class in the near future. It is certainly preferable to trying to write or sketch with a mouse.
