Can't share screen on Teams

Hi, I have just downloaded the Teams App and am unable to share my Powerpoint on the Share Screen option. Do you have any suggestions?

  • melanie1999 Hi, could be a setting in the Teams admin portal that needs to be toggled on "Allow PowerPoint sharing".

     

    This is the associated support page for sharing content in a Teams meeting

      Hi thanks for your help. I have given permission on my Mac but it is still not allowing me to share.

        melanie1999 Are you signed into an organization, that is not using Teams free, when using Teams? If so it could be a policy setting as mentioned in my previous reply. I have no experience using Teams on Mac so cannot give any further suggestions.
