Screen sharing
25 TopicsScreen sharing in teams takes over audio from phone call.
Dear all, Users are connected with their BT headset to their phone on a call. Caller wants to share screen. User accepts. After a while the audio from the phone is switched to computer. Any way of solving this without removing the BT headset from the computer?336Views0likes0CommentsMS Teams stealing the focus when presenter switches into/out-of screen sharing...
I am usingMicrosoft Teams Version 1.4.00.11161 (64-bit). It was last updated on 4/22/2021. Ever since the latest release, it has been stealing the focus from other applications. It does this consistently whenever I am on a video call and one of the other participants switches into (or out of) screen-sharing mode. By "stealing focus" I am specifically saying that if I am focused on any other application on either of my 2 screens, and the other person on the call switches into or out of screen-share on their machine, then my local MS-Teams app window forcibly comes to the top/foreground window and grabs the focus away from whatever other window/app I was in. It forces me to alt-tab back to that application to continue. And before you ask: Yes, I reported this via the "Report a Problem" link in the application as well. I just am so frustrated by this that I felt the need to report it here too, maybe to see just how many others are experiencing this behavior as well. MS Teams: PLEASE FIX THIS HORRIFIC BEHAVIOR! Sincerely, Rich LarsonSolved25KViews13likes31CommentsMS Teams: Can't take control when screen is shared and control is allowed

Login to other computer to for testing Please kindly assist. Thanks. Tim11KViews0likes2CommentsStatic noise on MS Teams during powerpoint screenshare (Mac)
Hi, I've used Teams for a few years and this is a new problem for me in the last 2 weeks. In Teams, if someone else shares their screen with a Powerpoint, I have very loud static noise so that I can't hear anything else and they can't hear me. I have to read captions/use chat. The noise stops as soon as they stop screen sharing. It's only when they share Powerpoint. If the same person, in the same meeting, same set up, swaps to sharing a PDF of that Powerpoint there's no problem. This has happened several times now - different meetings, different participants, different days, same problem. I've restarted etc. I updated to Monterey (12.6) after it started, but that didn't solve it. Any suggestions on what I should try next? UPDATED: In one case, it seems to happen when they share their powerpoint by selecting from the 'powerpoint live' list - it doesn't happen if they share by selecting the 'window'.14KViews2likes32CommentsMac screen recording problem: screen sharing not working while recording, works when not recording
EDIT: Might be powerpoint related issue and found a workaround! If I start the presentation before I share my screen, it works fine, but ifi I start screen sharing first and then start the presentation, it denies it. So basically, it's working, but in certain order. It's a bug. Everything is allowed in permissions and privacy, Hi, Using Teams Mac client and having odd issue. The screen sharing is enabled in privacy settings (also powerpoint etc.) and is working fine and sound BUT when the meeting is recorded, the screen sharing is denied due to security issues (gives out message indicating it's not safe). Mac book Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2019) MacOS Catalina ver. 10.15.6 Teams version:1.3.00.18164.

I was wondering if there is an option (or if one is under development) allowing all or multiple participants to share their screens. This is a useful use case for training, where students are carrying out some tasks (e.g. on a specific application) and a supervisor can check what they are doing or if they need help.

Hello, I have not been able to share the screen (or other windows) like I used to share with MS Teams running inside Google Chrome 109.0.5414 on Ubuntu 22.10. The only thing I can share is other tabs inside Google Chrome. The same thing is happening inside Chromium 109.0.5414. The strange thing is that Google Chrome and Chromium display the following message: "Go to Security & Privacy > Screen Recording to give permission and start sharing." But I do not have these Security & Privacy Settings. I am not using macOS, where I know about these settings. On Linux, there are no such settings. Are there any other options on a Linux System to set to make sharing screens possible once more? Thanks in advance. Details: - Ubuntu 22.10 with GNOME 43.1, Wayland - Chromium 109.0.5414 (via snap) and Google Chrome 109.0.5414 (via dpkg/apt)14KViews1like7CommentsScreen sharing
We run a mix of W10/W11 devices. I have completed every single update and reinstalled the app (so lets skip that conversation). Even with all this in play I (and a lot of our staff) struggle to share screen (occasionally)?! irrelevant of the application we are trying to share. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. what fixes the issue is terminating the call and calling them back. Can you assist please, its really beginning to irritate everyone in the business from sales to MD.Solved2.5KViews0likes4CommentsHow can I improve the frame rate from screen share?
We use teams a lot at my workplace to screen share. We usually show code, diagrams or other sort of static content. The framerate on these screen shares are usually pretty low, at 2fps. In the long run this gives me a headache trying to follow the presenter's mouse cursor, or diagrams when it gets scrolled around. This is happening across the board, with great laptops and connections. I believed the framerate is getting capped by teams itself. Can this be changed?Solved54KViews0likes9Comments
