Share Your Screen in a Teams Meeting

You can share your screen in a Microsoft Teams meeting similarly to how you can share your screen in Zoom. Here is a quick guide that covers the options you have when sharing your screen. These instructions are for the Teams app, there are less options available when using Teams for web.

Teams App Screen Sharing Menu:

1. Click on the "Share" button to open the screen sharing menu.
2. Click on the toggle button to include any audio playing on your device.
3. Teams has four options for displaying your content and your webcam video.
   From left to right:
   • Content only - only shows your screen or window.
   • Standout - overlays a cutout of you on your content.
   • Side-by-side - shares your screen and shows your video.
   • Reporter - emulates the way a news report looks.
   Once you have selected your style, you can choose to share your whole screen or individual windows that you have open by clicking on the icon under "Screen" or "Window".
4. The Teams app can reference your recently opened PowerPoint presentations. You can click on one from the list or click on "Show more" to see more.
   If you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the panel, you can click on "Browse OneDrive" or "Browse my computer" to find other documents to present or share.
