    I have had success in getting replies from people about Teams dev work by upvoting on UserVoice and have found one for Teams and the Teams for Mac x Excel screen share issue. If you could all head over and upvote it, then maybe we can get it fixed quickly? Share it wide too, if you know others suffering.

      Upvoted, but the sad question here is why is customer voting even necessary? In which school of user experience is this an acceptable way to build software?

        well, quite, but at least they listen more than Apple do, so it's a start
