Missing "Share content" button in MS Teams Live event

I'm a producer on a MS Teams Live event - but I have no option to share content. I've watched the producer guidance and I should have a SHARE button above MUTE ALL, but I don't! Any ideas about how t...

    Kevin_Temp Great point - it would look like this in the new popped-out producer window:

Laura2021 Are you able to share content in a regular Teams meeting (not a Live Event). If not, might need to check with your Admin to see if they disabled sharing:

    In my Teams live tenant the share content button is back up top like it is in a normal teams meeting. It is no longer down by the mute all button.

      In my teams app the share button is not appearing along with the video and mic buttons.

        BryanNyce @Kevin_Temp  Thank you SO much for replying 🙂 I have the share screen icon, and if I hit that, I can go straight into screen sharing. But when I've used this before (months ago!!) I could queue content, so where the screen on the left says "Add video or content from below" - I could click the SHARE button, l select a presentation, then it would appear under content (below the screens) and I could queue it, so it's ready to send live.

        What I'd like to do is queue an introduction video which says "Thanks for joining, we'll be starting soon" that I can send it live while we're waiting for attendees to join and still be able to see the whole of my producer screen! Is this still a function?

        If not, I might just need to rope in another producer to share their screen so that I can manage the queue while they share the content?! Thank you!
