Several users in our organisation use wide screens (42-49") which when shared in Teams as one screen are illegible for others. Even when sharing between two users, video is very pixelated and difficult to read.
We tried using window sharing which works fine, but there is a need to often switch between several windows, which is creating multiple issues, especially when information from one window is referenced in another.
I was unable to find a function enabling us to share just a portion of the main screen as we use in PowerTools.
Am I missing something here or would this require a request for a new feature?

Here's your new "Best Answer"...at least for Windows users. Region to Share app. Brilliant solution and easy to use. Just install it, run it before your meeting so it's available, and choose it as your app to share and you'll be able to resize the app to "select a region" to share during a meeting. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/region-to-share/9n4066w2r5q4#activetab=pivot:overviewtab

Try Portion of Screen, a resource friendly Windows App that makes sharing a part of your screen very easy in Teams. It's open source and just one executable.

Check out https://github.com/Stengo/DeskPad . It creates a virtual monitor within a window, so you can simply share that. It let's you control the resolution just like you would for any other monitor :)

Microsoft considers to implement this feature. Upvote here, please:

This works surprisingly well (Portion of Screen), thank you for the tip!

Wow, this PortionOfScreen tool is awesome. It does exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the tip.
It's a pity that Microsoft didn’t come up with such easy feature built in in Teams.

I developed a tiny application, since I faced exactly the same issue. You can try Ultra Wide Screen Share 2.0 to select the area of ultra wide monitor that you'd like to share. https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9P6J8N3K7TK4?hl=en-us&gl=US
