Teams Linux control shared screen
I am on the latest Linux Client version (1.3.00.5153) running on Ubuntu 18.04. Having the native client has been a GREAT benefit for me and has worked well. The only important feature that seems to be missing is the ability to give and request control over a shared screen.
When might we see the Linux client get to be on feature parity with the Windows client especially in this critical (for me) area?

RichTaylor Thanks for reaching out to us. This is a known limitation. We are working on enabling this feature on Linux but we do not have an ETA to share with you.
- Any news on this subject? Would be great if I could allow others to control the screen I'm sharing. I can see that a colleague requests control, but the button to allow access is disabled.
Is there ANY update on this? it looks like there is a file: ~/.config/Microsoft/Microsoft\ Teams/settings.json that has that possibility listed and set to false. I have tried setting it to true manually but the file gets deleted and recreated with false at next start of Teams.
Can this be addressed ASAP? which means less than 7 months (the last update to this was May last year)? I work with this and it is really annoying! Especially during COVID time when I have to do stuff remotely!
thank you
Gousia_Begum Thank you for the response. I will anxiously await the update whenever it arrives.
