If you must screenshare your screen to show important information, perform the steps below:
Step 1: On your computer, open (pre-load) the documents/images/videos you want to display. E.g. In Windows, your open applications will display in your taskbar.
Step 2: When information is required to be shown, within Teams, press the “Share” button. (As a courtesy, ask if you may screenshare first.)
Step 3: A window will appear beneath the “Share” button. Under the “Window” section, click the information that you want to display.
Step 4: You will then share your information to all meeting attendees.
Side note: You may toggle between the shared information and the Teams application by clicking on one or the other in the taskbar.
Step 5: Press the “Share” button again within Teams to stop screensharing when you are finished.
