Hi again,

I’ve had a number of you email me saying this feature is not completed because it still creates an AUDIO call.

The original request is to enable screensharing without a video call, which is now the completed and shipped. However, it still creates a phone call.

If you would like this new feature request, which is to screenshare without an audio call, please vote up this item here: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103/suggestions/34074184

Thank you and please ping me if you have any questions (sparavi at Microsoft dot com) or leave comments/questions in the thread of the new ticket.

Hi everyone, thanks for all your emails, calls, tweets and messages. I should have clarified that this feature is complete, and is currently in a validation ring and being slowly rolled out over the next couple weeks, as it passes through our validation rings.

So you will see it soon in your Teams client. I will email again when it has finished being deployed to all Teams customers.

Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to provide additional feedback. The current survey has now been closed.

Our feature team will review the feedback and I hope to provide some additional info in the near future. For now this item will still be flagged as “on the backlog”.

I already provided feedback to the Feature Team about the question of ‘what chat applications you currently using’ only allowed a single selection to be chosen. As well as being clear that the ask is for sharing one’s screen without the need for video calling.

We appreciate your feedback and together making Teams a better product.

Greetings,

The User Research group at Microsoft Teams would like to better understand the needs around sharing screen from chat (without audio or video).

We’re reaching out to you, hoping you would be willing to spare 10 minutes of your time to participate in an online survey. The insights gained through this survey research will help inform decisions around upcoming investments and prioritization to better address your needs. Your participation will be greatly appreciated!

Please use this link to access the survey:

Feel free to forward this survey to people you know who have a need for sharing screen from chat.

Thank you!

Hey everyone, I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the engineering team has let me know they’ve come up against some pressing resource restraints causing them to pause work on this item for the time being. So we’re moving this one to the backlog for now.

However, this is not off our radar and certainly not off mine. We’ll continue to regularly revisit this item with the team, so please continue to lobby for more votes and add to the comments below. Every voice counts and helps. Thank you!!

Hi everyone, I know we are overdue for the next update. I’m hounding our Meetings team trying to get a new ETA for you. I’ll ping you immediately once I get it!

Thanks for your patience, and your support. Tweet me if you have any questions: @skprufo.

Hi everyone — good news and bad news. Good news is that I have an update from Engineering. Bad news is that they just let me know this has hit some road blocks and we won’t be hitting July’s target date. This is now expected to be delivered in September.

I am sorry for the delay and will update you as this gets nearer to completion! Feel free to ping me if you want to be a beta tester for this feature!

Thanks and hope everyone is enjoying their summer,
Suphatra

We’ve started work on this and we’re aiming for completion by the end of a month that starts with “J”. I’ll let you guess. :-D

Thank you for your support of Teams, your great ideas, your patience and enthusiasm. We really appreciate you!

Hi folks, I need more info on this one. Why do you want to do this without a video call? Why not just hop on a video call and do the screenshare?
