Sharing part of the screen

[mkaminski100]

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

That link didn't work for me. I had to search using the title "Enable users to share a custom area of the screen"

any mac solution out there?

This looks good. I do think it would be even better if it could be integrated with Power Toys Fancy Zones somehow and you could simply WinKey+PgUp/PgDn to switch between applications in the specified Fancy Zone whilst sharing. I have a zone set up for 1920x1080 on my ultrawide, that way my viewers don't think they're watching a cinemascope film whilst I'm sharing, It's just a pain having to unshare/reshare when switching between applications and sharing.

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.

@TL-112233 

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 :)

It's a pity that Microsoft still hasn't solved this problem. I looked for an app similar to "Portion of Screen" for Mac OS and found "Advanced Screen Share" in the App Store. Unfortunately, the app is not free and is relatively expensive at 10 euros, but hey, at least it solves the problem.

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

Enable users to share a custom area of the screen · Community (microsoft.com)

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
