Sharing Content in a Teams Meeting

To increase engagement with your students, you can share a screen, use a whiteboard, present a PowerPoint, or view files from inside a meeting in Teams.

Sharing Content in a Teams Meeting

Select Share.
Include sound
(if sharing a video but be advised, sharing videos via a teams meeting can be problematic for accessibility and viewer satisfaction). You cannot go back and change this setting later, you will need to stop sharing and select Share again if you wish to include sound later
Add a Background if you are in Presenter Mode (share your screen while displaying your video feed for those in the meeting).

Numbers 4 through 8 refer to the content shared, you will only choose one of them.

Select which Screen you will share.
Window shares a specific application or program window rather than the entire desktop screen.
Share a Microsoft Whiteboard
Share Content from camera
Share PowerPoint Live, Excel live or from OneDrive
- - You may need to scroll to see all options

Choosing to share a WINDOW will allow only THAT window to be shown during sharing session. It keeps distractions (notifications on your screen) from being shown but if you want to share something else, you will need to stop sharing and choose your sharing option again.

Tip

The sharing control bar can be held and drug out of the way if you are attempting to move between tabs at the top. Pull it to anywhere you wish so it allows you to click as you wish around the application you are sharing.
