Take Control

Question

Hi all,&nbsp;Doing some test training with internal users. They can all take control of the screen or presentation when shared? Is there an option to stop them automatically taking control?

DaithiG&nbsp;&nbsp;Agreed. It sounds like all users are all set as presenters with no option to change it. Haven't as yet seen any type of meeting options (like Skype meeting actions) that allow you to lock down participants, turn off video, mute audience, etc.&nbsp;No doubt a future release to bring Teams in line with Skype functionality!&nbsp;CheersDamien

You can't just take control, it's always been request control to my knowledge. They can share whenever they want their own screen, but they just can't take over another persons screen without permission.

Hi David,Do you mean not allow them to take control, or say give authorisation once they request it?If it’s the first then you can set this in the meeting policyhttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/configure-desktop-sharingBest, Chris

Hi&nbsp;ChrisHoardMVP&nbsp;&nbsp;At the moment they just click "Take control" and they have control over the shared screen/presentation. I can't see an option to restrict them to request control?

That’s correct, or take away the ability to request control entirely by adjusting the meeting policy.Hope we’ve clarified that for you David.Best, Chris
