Screen Sharing not working in latest version
Hi all, Anyone else, that has problem with screen sharing in the current preview version? My Teams Version: 25007.606.3361.4724 My Clientversion: 49/25010620407 If i share my screen (regardless if full monitor or single app), the other users only see, that I am trying to share something, but never get the content visible. The only users that can see my content shared, are using the preview version as well. I tested it with one normal user and one with preview in the same call. The latter one was able to see the screen, the other one not. I have found a workaround right now: If I am in a call with a normal user, I can share the screen, if we start recording for a few seconds and stop it then. As long as recording has run at least for a few seconds, everyone can see my shared screen. I faced that issue for the first time last week.Now in public preview: Pin a Chat Message

Currently in Microsoft Teams, when multiple users are in a Teams meeting in the same room, a feedback loop is created, causing an echo. With this update, if multiple users are participating with laptops from the same location, Teams will notify the user that another Teams device has been detected nearby and is already included with audio in the current meeting. Teams will automatically mute the microphone and speakers of the person that joined when a user joins with audio on. Flighting status Available to everyone in Public Preview channel. How to enable When a user attempts to join a meeting where other participants are already physically present in the same room, they will receive a notification upon joining. The notification will inform them that multiple individuals are already present in the meeting and that the speaker and microphone switch will be automatically turned off to prevent any audio echo. However, the user has the freedom to manually turn the switch back on at any time they desire.

Description Microsoft Teams is introducing a new feature: Speaker view. This option can be selected from the view switcher within meetings, allowing users to effortlessly track the current active speaker. Speaker view is particularly effective in scenarios with a limited number of key speakers and a large audience, such as town halls, trainings, or lectures - especially from the student's perspective. The Speaker View offers several enhancements, including: Easy tracking of the active speaker: The view includes a primary area on the stage to focus on key participants in the meeting. Better visual clarity: The active speaker's video is rendered at a higher resolution. Equal representation for audio and video participants: All attendees are equally represented in the meeting, regardless of whether their video is enabled or disabled. Inclusive by default: This view utilizes 16:9 tiles, providing ample space to fully display hand gestures and body language. Predictable experience: The use of 16:9 tiles and consistent placement of audio and video participants on the same stage ensures a fluid experience. Users toggling their videos on or off do not cause the entire stage to be re-rendered. The main area designated for the active speaker is also utilized for shared content, enabling seamless transitions during presentations. Flighting status Available to everyone in Public Preview channel. How to enable Users can select this new view “Speaker view” from the view switcher in meeting toolbar. This view is not set as a default view. Note 1: If you need information about enabling the public preview itself, see “Enable the public preview for Teams” below.
