28 TopicsMS Teams stealing the focus when presenter switches into/out-of screen sharing...
I am using Microsoft 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 LarsonSolved25KViews13likes31CommentsAll or multiple participants sharing their screens
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. Thanks.Solved25KViews6likes7CommentsStatic 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'.15KViews2likes32CommentsCalls being placed on hold after sharing screen
Just go our first CCX device for testing and I just tried to test a screen sharing while on an audio only call on the CCX. I have Windows 10 with Teams along with a CCX 500 phone. My colleague has Windows 10 and the Teams client, and a headset. I was talking to him via the CCX and he tried to share screens with me, on his end no errors, on my end absolutely nothing happened. Then I tried to share my screen with him from my computer and it put our audio call on the CCX immediately on hold, on the computer it had the small "Lets talk" button in the bottom right, if you click that still no audio. Of note even with a VVX device and Teams, we had similar behavior of having the call put on hold. My hope was getting a CCX device would have solved this issue. In Skype this worked without issue.Solved42KViews2likes15CommentsAdjustable section sharing
Hello, I noticed that Zoom now offers the ability to share a freely adjustable section of any screen. As a MS trainer and solution developer I find this feature incredibly useful and was wondering if anybody knows of there are any plans to implement a similar option in Microsoft Teams? Thank you!

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)16KViews1like7CommentsCan't share a "window" in MS Teams, only the whole screen
Hi everyone! I am using MS Teams on my MacBook and since a couple of months I am only able to share the whole screen or use the PowerPoint Live option, however, the "window" sharing is not available for some reason. For example, I have an Excel file opened and I want to share it, but when I click on share "window" there is always one widow with the current call in Teams. Could anyone help me with this, please?5.4KViews1like2CommentsUsing Microsoft Teams Rooms for Multi- Disciplinary Clinical (MDM) meetings
Hey. I was wanting to find out a bit more about the potential of using MS Teams to host MDM meetings. We host a number of these meetings, these are case conference meetings where patients are discussed with the clinicians from our hospital and other clinicians from other hospitals. At these some of these meetings there is a requirement to be able to share 2 desktop screen images with people joining the meeting, to show things like a comparison between different CT scans, see example image below at end . We have wanted to simplify things and look at these rooms set up as room where clinicans can come into the room and join a meeting (i.e. room is set up as a Teams room). We have been able to test and do this with a Zoom Room, configured with the ability to share content from multiple screens using the room control chat panel and to share both at HD(1080p). Can this be done in teams today? If not is it on the roadmap for development? If so are there any resource around how to set this up and make it work.Solved2KViews1like2CommentsMicrosoft Teams New Features | May 2020
