share a specific application/window in screen sharing
When sharing "screen", add an option to share specific application rather than share the whole screen. I've got a 34" ultrawide and sharing the whole screen with someone using a small 13" laptop screen is untenable.

When you start a meeting and click the share button you are presented the option to share your whole desktop or choose a specific application to share.

The option to share an application is not clear. It seems it only refers to a specific document, not the app. Also, when sharing an application (which I believe I have selected several times), the sharing freezes. I can resolve the issue by stopping the share and re-sharing. This can be disrupting during critical calls.

I have a new IMac and am using Skype for Business version 16.26.19. I don't get an options when I click on the screen share icon, it just gives me a blue rectangle box called 'Share Screen'. I'd like to share an application only. I work from home and when in meetings with clients and sharing my screen, I can't go into my mail or check my calendar as it doesn't look very professional to show them my other client names and their details etc. Please can you advise if I need to download another version of Skype for Business. My colleague has lots of options available, but they are using Office 365 MSO 32 bit and version 16.0.11601 MSO on a windows laptop.

The problem is that it is not that clear. After using webex for 15+ years I struggle with Teams how I can quickly share an application. In webex you see an icon at each right top corner of a window that you can click to quickly share another app. In Teams I now have to stop sharing, than click share again, followed by clicking another window.
This must be easier. -

This one is a blocker for completely replacing other products like WebEx or Chime. When I'm sharing, sometimes things come across the screen I don't want to be presenting. For example, sometimes someone will say something that pops up in a notification that should not be seen by the people I'm presenting to. Another example is when I need to bring up an Excel sheet with sensitive information on it.

Teams is another good product from MS, But in collaboration sharing screen shot must be there, please bring it asap if not exists already

Same here, I have a 40" 4k screen with 4 full 1080p quadrants, the lack of this option that is on Skype for business makes Teams unusable for me as a audio call tool.
