With many businesses promoting a hybrid work culture, the work-from-home trend has now become the norm. It may help increase employer productivity, but people who work in teams may face difficulties coordinating with co-workers. This problem can be solved if all team members are able to interact with each other when needed. Microsoft Teams is one such software that provides a platform to connect with people anytime, anywhere.

It is a powerful tool that allows people to connect with colleagues through video calls. In addition to talking to each other, users can exchange important notes and files through Microsoft Teams. You can also share your computer screen with colleagues on this platform.

This feature will definitely improve communication and teamwork when you’re working on collaborative projects, presenting documents, or giving PowerPoint presentations. The meeting administrator must activate the screen sharing option from settings to allow other members to use this feature.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to share your entire computer screen on Microsoft Teams:

1. Open the Microsoft Teams app on your desktop or laptop and join the meeting.
2. Click the Share icon (two overlapping squares) in the meeting controls bar that appears at the top or bottom of the window.
3. In the next menu, click on the “Desktop” option.
4. If you have multiple monitors connected to the system, you can also select which one to share.
5. Once everything is done, click “Start Sharing.”

Follow these steps to share a specific window on Microsoft Teams:

1. From the meeting control bar, go to the sharing options.
2. Then select “Window” from the list.
3. Select the window you want to share with others.
4. Click “Start Sharing” to activate it.

Steps to share a PowerPoint presentation:

1. Select PowerPoint from the Share menu.
2. Go to “Browse” where you can select the PPT file.
3. From the next menu, choose how you want to share your presentation (all slides or any specific slide).
4. To share a whiteboard on Microsoft Teams, users need to select the option from the share menu. You can stop screen sharing at any time by clicking the Share icon again.
