Hi community, since the last MS Teams Update (1.3.00.21759), I was not able to give control to my Co-worker while sharing my screen. To be specific: I was able to give control and he was able to ...

Give this a shot.

While in a screen share session:
-Request Control of the Screen
-After you have received control, click on the chat icon on the left side toolbar.
-That minimizes the screen share session, in the top left.
-Click on the minimized screen share session so it makes it big again.
BOOM works.

It might have to do with the 64bit version of Teams. 32-bit I do not believe is effected.

Let me know if that works for you.

Is it working again? As of today, the function of remote control while sharing my screen is back again! But still, it seemed to have to do something with the MS Teams update - funny how it randomly works again.

Same here thing is some users it works for, some it doesn't. Very hit or miss.

  b_cinelli I'm seeing the same issues here. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'm kind of wondering if it has anything to do with the ongoing capacity issues that seemed to have kicked off once back to school started with everyone learning from home --sorta like the "Call Me" function for teams meetings was unresponsive for most of the last two weeks because of demand.
