When will desktop sharing be available in Teams? That is a big reason why we signed up for Skype for Business Online Plan 2.

To be honest, I wouldn't expect it to ever be supported in Safari. Despite being the default browser for Mac OS, it seems a huge percentage of users use something else for their default browser (probably largely because of things like this.)
Safari does an overall horrible job at following web standards. As a developer, it is a real pain to have to put in special hacks to make things work on it (things that natively work in literally every other major browser.)
(Also, ignoring that Apple being a fairly direct competitor to Microsoft (in the desktop world, at least), I could see Microsoft lacking incentive to support their browser--primarily because the vast majority of potential Teams users will be using Windows, in addition to a large suite of Microsoft products that are Windows-only. Dedicating hundreds of man-hours to cater to an uncommonly used platform wouldn't be very useful.)

Travis, Microsoft are pretty much the biggest developer of software for Apple OSX, and are regularly part of Apple's keynote presentations. I wouldn't see them as being Windows only.
There is a perfectly working version of Teams desktop app for OSX with the same capabilities as on Windows.
I know we've asked for Safari support, as well as full A/V in Chrome across platforms. It's pretty important to have wide enough compatibility to displace WebEx, LogMeIn etc.

Ah, good to know! I suppose I've been biased, as the companies I've worked for that are heavily Microsoft dependent have all been Windows-dependent as well. Also, since I posted that, I've noticed that Teams is now opening up freely to everybody, which will probably also encourage macOS adoption.
I do maintain my prediction that Microsoft will be quite slow to provide Safari support. I'd suspect companies that do a lot of browser-based screen sharing with outside individuals will primarily stick to the well-established, purpose-built platforms, and that Teams screen sharing will mostly be used privately, with other group members. (Just an opinion, obviously.) And yes, full A/V in Chrome will be welcome to many.
Personally, I'm especially anxious to see Desktop Sharing to be implemented separately from video/voice calls within Teams. That is one of the main impediments to full adoption that my team has. While it's functional now, as one can just disable the camera and microphone, it's not very intuitive, and when people see an incoming "call", they aren't likely to realize that it's really just an attempt to screenshare.

Evaluating Teams and everything going well until we noticed that screen sharing from chat is not available. This is a killer feature in SfB and needs to be addressed in Teams asap.

As an office 365 account admin and teams meeting organizer I can share my desktop but our invited guests (our entire business team) cannot share their screen. We also decided to use Teams exclusively for our teams and supplier communications fully intending to share screens., We are ready to return to Zoom if this dies not happen soon. Thanks

Hello.
I'm migrating from SfB to Teams...i need desktop sharing in chat...and remote control too (!)
It's too much regressive from SfB...
Please give us a dead line.
Best regards

I've located the option to share desktop, but unable to find the "give control" option like SFB.
Do you know where this is located please?

Hello,
Option "Give control" appears at the left bottom of shared screen (only in a meeting)
When you click, a window appears at the top of the other screen to allowed or not control.
But this window to authorized control never appears with Teams on my server… (!)

So far I'm really liking Teams. Nice single point of contact for various actions. Currently we use Skype for Business to remote to computers and fix problems. Is this available with Teams?

Alguno pudo dar con esta solución, sigo presentando el error al compartir pantalla via teams, desde algunos usuarios que no veo el cursor del mouse.
