teams meeting take control presentation

No more “next slide please” with Microsoft Teams PowerPoint Live Presenter Mode

One of the great meeting features of Microsoft Teams is PowerPoint Live Presenter mode. For me, the killer feature is that anyone can “Take control” of presenting the deck seamlessly.

In my opinion, it really breaks the flow of a presentation for the presenter to keep prompting someone with “next slide please”. It became a running joke with the UK Government updates that they were constantly prompting for “next slide please”

PowerPoint Live Presenter Mode won’t be suitable for every meeting type, as you may not want everyone in the meeting to have the power to “take control” but for internal “All Hands” type meetings, where multiple presenters have a couple of slides each to present, each presenter can just “take control” in turn and drive the slides.

Using PowerPoint Live Presenter Mode

Firstly someone uploads the PowerPoint deck. Teams will show recent decks that the user has edited to make it easy to find the right deck to upload, but you can also browse OneDrive or the local computer.

The person uploading will be the initial “deck presenter”; they will initially have control to move the deck forward for everyone in the meeting

Presenter Options in PowerPoint Live Presenter Mode

The presenter gets a nice view of the overall deck and the current slide you are presenting. You will also see slide notes. This is so useful if you are presenting from a single screen. You can also see all the chat while presenting. This tight integration with PowerPoint is something that steps Microsoft Teams apart from other online meeting platforms.

You can also use the new “standout” mode (not sure about that name, I prefer “weatherman mode”) to appear over the slides which can help promote engagement. Note, standout mode person overlaid on the slides won’t come through on a recording, The recording will show normal bottom right video.

PowerPoint Live Attendee Features

Attendees can even personally move forwards and backwards in the deck, this is useful if they want to see what is coming up

the presenter can turn off this feature if they prefer

Attendees can also personally put the slides into “high contrast mode” for improved accessibility. This only affects their view of the slides.

“Take Control” – the “next slide please” killer

Often in meetings with multiple presenters, before PowerPoint Live, one person presents the deck for the whole meetings, probably via screen sharing, and as the current talker asks that person to move the slides forward; “Next slide please”. Saving the pain of one person screens sharing, then another, then another.

With PowerPoint Live, In the meeting, everyone other than the current person presenting the slides will see the slide the presenter is presenting, but they also have a “Take Control” button.

The person that presses that button then gets the presenter view and control, and the original presenter gets prompted that someone has taken over. They can see who took over as the current presenter is shown in the bottom left.

This allows seamless transfer of presenters with no interruption for the “viewers” of the presentation for a much slicker meeting.

See the banner prompt notifying the previous presenter that someone has taken over presenting and in the bottom left I can see it’s Tom Morgan now presenting

Note, PowerPoint Live won’t work well for meetings where presenters need to “screen share” outside of a single PowerPoint deck. If someone does drop the presentation to share their screen, or for any other reason, when the original deck uploader shares the deck again, it prompts them with the option to resume at the same point in the deck.

How To Give Control in Teams to Switch Presenter

Hand off power quickly and easily

Microsoft Teams continues to add new features and ways to engage meeting attendees. Sometimes when you’re a presenter in a Teams meeting, you’ll want to allow someone else to present or give control to someone else in the meeting. We’ll run through the different ways to present and how to give control in Teams to someone else.

The information below applies to all Microsoft Teams meetings, including breakout sessions and webinars. Some features, like PowerPoint Live, are only available while using the desktop version of Teams and cannot be accessed if you’re running Teams in a web browser.

Sharing Content in a Teams Meeting

When you’re in a Teams meeting and select the Share button, you can choose to share content in different ways:

Share your screen : This option will allow meeting attendees to see anything that’s on the monitor you select.
Share a specific window : This option will only allow attendees to see the specific window you choose to share.
Create a Whiteboard : This option will launch the Whiteboard app so meeting attendees can collaborate.
Share a PowerPoint : Select a specific PowerPoint file to present to meeting attendees.

Sharing Content in a Teams Meeting image

When you choose to share a PowerPoint presentation (rather than sharing the specific window the PowerPoint is in), meeting attendees will get a few extra features, and so will you.

When you share a presentation using PowerPoint Live, attendees will be able to move through the slides in your presentation at their own speed. Don’t worry—meeting attendees won’t control what other attendees see. You’ll still be in control of your presentation . However, if an attendee wants to skip a few slides ahead to see what’s coming, they can. When they’re ready, there’s a sync button which will sync them up with the presenter.

If you don’t want attendees to move through the presentation on their own, you can toggle that feature off by selecting the eye icon on the control panel that appears on the presentation.

When you share a presentation via PowerPoint live, you’ll be able to see your notes, slides, and the audience while you present. This is a feature that Teams users have been clamoring for, and we’re thrilled to see that Microsoft listened.

You’ll also get access to multi-colored laser pointers, pens, and highlighters to aid in your presentation.

Roles in Teams Meetings

First, let’s get clear about the various roles available in Teams meetings. The person who creates the link to join the meeting is the organizer. That person has ultimate control and can do things that no other attendee can do like manage breakout rooms .

The organizer can designate other meeting attendees as presenters. Only the organizer and presenters can share content during the meeting. Besides the organizer and presenters, everyone else in the meeting is called an Attendee.

The organizer can set presenters in advance of the meeting or on the fly during the meeting. To set presenters in advance of the meeting, the meeting organizer should select the Meeting Options link in the calendar invitation for the meeting.

A web page will open where you can choose who will be able to present during the meeting.

If you choose Specific people , next type in the names of the people who you want to be Presenters.

How To Promote an Attendee to Presenter in Teams

If you’re the meeting organizer, it’s easy to promote a meeting attendee to presenter during the meeting itself.

Find the attendee in the participant list.
Select the More options (three dots) link next to the attendee’s name.

How To Promote an Attendee to Presenter in Teams image

Select Make a presenter .

Now that person will be able to share content during the meeting.

Presenting vs. Taking Control

It’s important to understand the distinction between presenting in a Teams meeting and taking control of shared content.

Apps like GoToMeeting and Zoom have ways for meeting attendees to take control of another attendee’s computer. This usually happens in remote support sessions. So far, Microsoft Teams has not provided that functionality. However, Teams does allow presenters to give limited control to another attendee, and attendees can request control from presenters.

Obviously, you should only give control in Teams to someone you trust.

How To Give Control in Teams

In Microsoft Teams, if you want someone else in your meeting to edit a file you’re sharing or take over your presentation, you can give control to that person. It’s like adding a second, simultaneous presenter. You’ll both be able to control what’s being shared. You can take back control any time you want.

You can only give control to someone else in your Teams meeting when you’re presenting. Mouse over the content you’re sharing to activate the sharing toolbar and select Give control .

From there, select the person you want to give control to. The person you want to give control to will receive a notification letting them know that you want to share control of the presentation with them. When you share control with someone else, they’ll be able to make edits and other changes to the shared screen.

If you want to take control back from them, simply select the Cancel Control button.

How To Request Control in Teams

Requesting control while someone’s presenting in Teams works similarly. Simply select the Request control button. The presenter can then choose to Allow or Deny your control request.

When you no longer want control, you can select the Release control button.

Get Comfortable with Microsoft Teams

Love it or hate it, it doesn’t look like Microsoft Teams is going away any time soon. If your employer uses Teams, it’s worth learning a few Teams tips and tricks to get more comfortable with all its features.

You can read about several ways to run polls in Teams meetings or learn how to hide your mess by changing your background in Teams.

How to take screen control in a Microsoft Teams meeting

by Suzy Dean | Mar 16, 2022 | CEO Blog | 0 comments

When contemplating which Teams functionalities to write about each month, I like to explore the absolute latest developments and capabilities, or, more often than not, those which have not been rolled out yet. Most recently these have included Microsoft Connect (shared channels), Microsoft Loop and LinkedIn pairing.

This month however is different… I’m going to shed a well-deserved light on what I believe has been a hidden gem, a not-so-new but completely underutilised tool which happens to be a favourite of mine; requesting screen control in Microsoft Teams meetings.

You may not have realised, but you can request and take full control of someone else’s desktop or give a meeting attendee control of your own screen whilst you’re sharing content.

When in control of a colleague’s screen, you can have full use of your own mouse and keyboard to locate, point, type, drag and drop, move and highlight content, for all meeting attendees to see. Sound useful? We think so. Follow my guide below to get up to speed. Spoiler alert – this one is an easy one to master.

Requesting control of someone’s screen

When in a Teams meeting, the person’s screen you want to take control of has to be sharing content. In this case, our Events Co-ordinator Liane is walking me through a PowerPoint presentation AddIn365 is giving at a London conference next month.

Once your colleague is sharing content, hover your mouse over the top of your screen and click ‘Request Control’.

Once you have selected ‘Request Control’, a message box will appear asking you to confirm your action, simply click ‘Request’. You now have full accessibility in your colleague’s shared screen. The functionality works exactly the same as if you were working and editing on your own desktop, your mouse pointer is designated yours by a small, accompanying image of your profile picture.

Simply click ‘Stop control’, located at the top centre of the page to relinquish control.

Granting control of your own screen

Whilst sharing content in a Microsoft Teams meeting, hover your mouse over the centre top of your screen to make visible the control bar (pictured below). Select ‘Give control’, then click on the colleague’s name you would like to give screen access to.

Once selected your colleague will be notified and prompted to click ‘Accept control’. They can now use their mouse and keyboard to edit the content on your screen for all to see.

Manage the meeting presentation experience for sensitive Teams meetings

5 contributors
Applies to: Microsoft Teams

Using Teams admin policies, sensitivity labels, and templates, you can control a wide variety of settings that determine the in-meeting experience for participants, including:

Who can present and who can give or request control
How content is shared and what collaboration tools are available
Attendee video, audio, and reactions

Meeting organizers can specify many of theses settings when they create the meeting, but you can enforce specific options for different users and groups in your organization by using admin policies, or for different types or meetings by using sensitivity labels and templates. This can help you meet your compliance needs for different types of meetings and meetings where sensitive information is being shared.

Meeting settings in sensitivity labels and custom meeting templates require Teams Premium.

Manage who can present

The following table shows where settings are available to manage who can present in meetings:

By using these controls, you can limit who is able to share content on screen in meetings.

Default value for who can present in meetings

The Teams admin meeting policy Who can present has the following options:

Only organizers and co-organizers
People in my org and guests

This setting doesn't enforce the value, but rather specifies the default for new meetings created by users. Users can override this setting and choose any of the other options unless a specific value is enforced by a sensitivity label.

The default value of Everyone allows anyone to present in a meeting by default. If you have compliance requirements in your organization around who can present in meetings, consider changing this value to People in my org and guests or Only organizers and co-organizers to provide a more secure default for users.

To set the Who can present policy

In the Teams admin center, expand Meetings , and then select Meeting policies .

Select the policy that you want to modify.

Under Meeting join & lobby , select a value for Who can present .

Select Save .

Manage who can present by using sensitivity labels

Meeting organizers can choose from the following options for who can present in a meeting:

Only me and co-organizers
Specific people

The default value shown when a user creates a meeting is specified by the Who can present policy mentioned above.

You can restrict this setting by using a sensitivity label. For sensitive or highly sensitive meetings, consider restricting this setting to Only me and co-organizers or Specific people by using a sensitivity label.

Teams admin policy: Participants can give or request control

By default, meeting participants can give control of their shared screen to another participant in the meeting. This is controlled by two Teams admin meeting policies:

Participants can give or request control - This setting determines whether the user with this policy can give control of their shared desktop or window to other meeting participants. It's On by default.

External participants can give or request control - This setting determines a guest or anonymous participant can be given control of an internal user's shared screen. It's Off by default.

Depending on the compliance requirements of your organization, you can change these settings for some or all of your users.

To configure who can give control of a shared screen

Under Content sharing :

To prevent participants from giving control of a screen share to others, set Participants can give or request control to Off .

To prevent external participants from being given control of a screen share, set External participants can give or request control to On .

Manage which content and video is shared with attendees

In meetings where sensitive information is being shared, it can be important to minimize the risk of sharing inappropriate information.

The following table shows settings that can help manage what content and video is shared on screen in meetings.

Screen sharing is a teams admin policy. With this policy, you can control if meeting attendees can share their entire screen or only a single application. Sharing the entire screen can be convenient, but it can increase the chances of accidentally sharing inappropriate information such as an email or open document. Consider if you want to restrict sharing to a single application for users or departments that often present sensitive information. You can also turn off screen sharing entirely with this policy. For more information, see Manage meeting policies for content sharing .

Manage what attendees see is an option available to meeting organizers that can also be set by using a template. When this option is enabled, meeting organizers can control what content is shared on screen and who's video is visible. Organizers must intentionally bring shared content and video on screen before attendees can see it. This can help minimize the risk of sharing inappropriate content in a meeting. Consider if you want to enable or enforce this experience for sensitive meetings by using a meeting template. For more information, see Manage what attendees see in Teams meetings .

Manage presentation tools

Teams offers several presentation tools that allow for interactive participation of meeting attendees. The following table shows features that can help manage these tools.

Each of these features can be managed through admin policies, but not through templates or sensitivity labels, nor by the meeting organizer. As such, they can be applied to users or groups, but not to specific meetings. For more information, see Meeting policy settings - Content sharing .

If you have meetings where sensitive information is being shared, you may want to disable Whiteboard and shared notes to avoid having sensitive information added to them.

PowerPoint Live allows attendees to navigate forward and back in a PowerPoint presentation being shared on screen. This may allow attendees to see sensitive information before it's presented by the organizer.

Consider if there are users or groups in your organization who shouldn't use these features to avoid sharing sensitive information.

Manage how meeting attendees interact

The following table shows features that can help manage how meeting attendees interact during a meeting.

Attendee audio and video can make it easy for attendees to communicate during a meeting. These can both be controlled by the meeting organizer or by a meeting template. Depending on the type of meeting, you may want to allow or restrict these capabilities.

For meetings that are presentations with minimal interaction from attendees, turning video and audio off can minimize distractions.

When recording meetings, video from participants might be considered personal data and infer regulatory requirements.

If you choose to turn off reactions, remember that this will disable the hand-raise feature. (For presentation-style meetings, the Q&A feature may allow the needed interaction for attendees to ask questions.)

Teams Give Control Tool bar missing from Screenshare every second attempt

When using teams to share a screen and take control everything works as expected the first time, sharing and tool bars all appear and function. control is given and all works. If you then hang up your screen share, then re establish a new screen share the Give control tool bar is missing. The other party can still attempt to Request control but the allow option also no longer appears and control is now impossible..

I have replicated this issue on both my PC and my clients PC and several other PC's.

All running Windows 10 and teams current versions. It's not hiding the tool bar as the tool bar is pinned and mousing anywhere on the screen does not reveal the tool bar. If teams is restarted normal function returns for the first attempt.

This happens permanently until teams is restarted i.e any subsequent screen shares will be missing the tool bar and be unable to give/take control after the first.

This is not a GPU issue or a settings issue, as the first screen share works normally, it's only subsequent shares that the tool bars vanish permanently on.

I have done a fair amount of googling and i cannot find any reference to others having this issue as yet but after my testing i suspect this must be affecting others as well.

Hi Chris_Mills ,

I noticed a number of users have submitted feedbacks for this behaviour at: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/ Nothing is said yet by Microsoft.

For me, clearing my Teams cache seems to fix the problem for a while. To do so, just quit Microsoft Teams completely, go to %appdata%/Microsoft/Teams in a File Window. Select all and Delete everything. Restart Teams , try again and monitor the situation.

For your reference: Give control doesn't work when you share screen in Teams - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Docs

Hope it works for you too.

April 28 2024 19:42 (IST) T20 WC 2024 Team Announcement Live: Kohli slams his critics! Virat Kohli has slammed experts and critics for all the talk surrounding his strike rate. He was absolutely fuming after the match vs GT, and rightly so. "Not really, all the people who talk about strike-rates and me not playing spin well are the ones talking about this stuff. For me, it's about winning the games for the team and there's a reason why you've done it for 15 years, you've done this day in and day out, you've won games for your teams, I'm not quite sure that if you haven't been in that situation yourself, to sit and talk about the game in the box. For me, people can talk about their assumptions day in and day out, but those who have done day in and day out, they know what's happening and it's a kind of muscle memory for me now," Kohli said after his unbeaten 44-ball 70 vs Gujarat. facebook twitter Share Link

April 28 2024 18:03 (IST) T20 WC 2024 Team Announcement Live: Sehwag's advice to Kohli! India great Virender Sehwag feels Virat Kohli shouldn't open with captain Rohit Sharma at the upcoming T20 World Cup. He feels that the former India captain should continue to bat at no. 3. Sehwag gave the example of Sachin Tendulkar, recalling how the legendary batter played at different position only for the teams benefit. "If I were in that team, I wouldn't send him to open. I'll play him at 3. Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal will open, and Kohli will continue to bat at no.3. The middle-overs approach is his headache, he knows if there's an early dismissal, he can take care of powerplays. If the wicket falls late, it's the captain and the coach's responsibility to tell him to keep the momentum intact. A player has to do this," Sehwag said in a recent interaction. facebook twitter Share Link

Michael Vaughan feels that if Ajit Agarkar thinks that the team is better off without veterans like Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, he shouldn't refrain himself from picking youngsters in the 15-man squad. "What I'll say to Ajit Agarkar, Don't be scared to be brave. Don't be scared. If he ultimately believes that if the Indian T20 team is better off without a Virat Kohli or a KL Rahul, he wants to go with a fresh set of minds. If he ultimately believes that, then that's how he should deliver the team," Vaughan suggested. "Don't fall under the pressure of 'oh you have to pick all the big names'. Because, they haven't been winning the trophies and it might be that a fresher set of minds with no baggage. No baggage from losing in November, no baggage from not doing great in the last T20 World Cup," he added. facebook twitter Share Link

Kohli is a great player, whether he plays at no.3 or 4, the team comes first. Even if you ask him this question, he will say the team comes first," Harbhajan suggested. facebook twitter Share Link

This is a different Samson. If India finds themselves in situations where they need a spare opener or No. 4 batter or at No. 6, they you have KL Rahul, who is also in form. But I will still prefer Samson, followed by Rishabh Pant. He is coming out of an injury. Now, do you consider him as a white-ball specialist? His form is a bit patchy and scratchy, but he has survived the test so far. My preferences are these three," Sidhu told Star Sports. facebook twitter Share Link
