Disable screen Sharing

Hi

Have met issue while presenting my screen in video conference. The other user pressed also share his screen, so my screen sharing option was disabled. Is there any possibility to limit who can share screen? For example allow to share screen only for presenter or meeting owner not for all members during video call?

Thanks!

Paul

    If you schedule the meeting from Outlook you have the option to change the meeting options for that specific meeting

     

     

    Click on "Meeting options".

     

    From here you can change who can bypass the lobby and who is able to present. 

    Default for my organization it is set as below: 

     

    Changing the "Who can present" from "Everyone" to "Specific people" or "Only me" will do the trick for you πŸ™‚

    Only you will be able to present. 

     

    Let me know if this fixed your problem πŸ™‚

      When online classes are going on,  students can minimise the screen and then they are able to share their screens.  This is done inspite of making the presenter "only me" in meeting options. 

      How to prevent this?

        The admin of the tenant can change the policy. I wrote a blog on this feature, see: https://msteams.me/who-can-present/

        Let me know if this fixed it for you and if it does, please accept it as solution.

        Kind regards and stay healthy,

      HiMitchell Bakker 

       

      Thank you, worked for a meeting, half a problem solved.

      And for a Team created in Teams? Is there a option?

      We are a University and wish to use in a classroom environment.

       

      Best regards,

  • Actually there is an option in the meetings policy to disable sharing, so internally you could set these differently! But these are not related or care about who is the organizer! So it might not be a good idea either!
    Also, people without assigned policies like guests, anon users , federated etc inherits the orginizers policy , which in this case should be set to allowed which will also just go against the idea
