Microsoft Teams - Screen sharing in Teams/Skype for Business interop. Featured ID: 53934

in the o365 roadmap Featured ID: 53934 the following is launched.

However we are unable to share our screens with s4b users, unless we escalate the call to a teams meeting, which is not a solution for us ior the partners we work with.  Could someone confirm if true screen sharing is available with Teams and s4b

  • Hi,

     

    It is available but it is not like a call where you call from the Teams client to the Skype client. When you share your screen from Teams to a Skype user it will create a Teams meeting, the Skype user will be able to join the meeting from Teams web app and see the screen sharing. And when a Skype user shares their screen to a Teams user it will create a Skype meeting.

     

    So this feature is "just" a button creating a meeting with some information text about how to join the meeting for screen sharing.

     

    I wrote about it here.

      thanks that's what I thought, but it is not a solution, it's just a workaround. I guess we have till 2021 to find a solution or drop teams for our VC collab. We have an excellent workflow with s4b, but it just doesnt work with Teams.
