Missing "Share content" button in MS Teams Live event
MicrosoftLaura2021 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:
Microsoft- 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!

We have never supported the ability to queue shared content - the first time you share, you can select to have it available in the queue section, and then live - but once shared content is live, any additional sharing of content would indeed go directly to live. We have this is our backlog to address later this CY.
You can share your screen (or app, or second monitor) and still have the producer window available.
