MS Teams 'sharing' error message
Please help
Every time i work with teams i am unable to 'share' word files from any location, such as Desktop or Onedrive.
I keep getting the following error message in a MS Teams meeting:-
filetype isn't supported - Right now we only support sharing Powerpoint files
Can anyone help me to resolve this please?
He is sharing the Word application, or his screen, which is a different type of sharing compared to sharing just a PowerPoint file. Refer to this article for more info: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/share-content-in-a-meeting-in-teams-fcc2bf59-aecd-4481-8f99-ce55dd836ce8

- I think it is one of those product limitation:
Microsoft teams file type isn’t supported

Bizarrely a colleague of mine can share an MS word document via Teams..!
We held a meeting earlier today and I was unable to share an MS word document, but he was able to share his copy of the same file.
We both work for the same organisation.He is sharing the Word application, or his screen, which is a different type of sharing compared to sharing just a PowerPoint file.
