Share pointer while screen sharing
TeamViewer screen sharing has a nice feature to share pointer. So when other meeting participants wants to show the presenter something on screen, the presenter can see where they pointing. It's really useful feature.

This feature remains on the backlog, while we work on other high priority Meetings features.

Anyone who has used a tool with this feature knows how many hours (literally) of otherwise wasted meeting time this has saved, and will be reluctant to move to Teams as long as this simple capability is missing.

This is for sure a Prio 1 feature for everybody who used FASTVIEWER in the past and where TEAMS is not yet sufficiently equipped for shared presentations during meetings

this is for sure a prio 1 feature for everybody who used fastviewer in the past - it is absolut essential.
And to be clear: Its not pointer sharing - its just being able to point at a picture while you are talking about it and somebody else is showing it! -

Our company with thousands of users really misses this feature because we are used to this from FastViewer.

We are using FastViewer because the "pointer for all participients" is a killer Feature. Teams will never be used if not everyone can show something in a shared document.

I work with clients daily, and being able to see their screen but highlight items with my mouse would be exceptional. I don't want to have to take control of the mouse for this to work.

I honestly can't understand why this feature is not available!
We are migrating to Teams as an organisation, but I will continue to use our existing screen sharing solution for as long as possible to allow me to be able to show my mouse pointer to the presenter and the rest of the meeting. It is absolutely essential!

FYI for anyone wanting this feature, in the meantime there is a setting in the Mouse settings where it will show circles where your cursor is when you hit the ctrl key. We've used this for years on our internal virtual training courses. Just go to the mouse settings in the control panel.

Also the ability for the viewers to see and annotate on screen would be great. This is a feature that we love on Slack that is missing here.

Slack has the ability for anyone to draw on the screen and it fades away after a few seconds. It would be very helpful to have a similar feature in MS Teams.

This feature is a big request in our organization. We are a global company and most of our meetings are online. So we'll have teams still using team viewer for the sole reason of being able to point around in the screen when working/collaborating on a project/presentation.

Zoom's Annotation feature takes shared screen meetings to a whole new level. Teams has GOT to add this to stay competitive. I would dump my Zoom account if Teams had annotation capabilities. Zoom is fantastic on mobile / tablet in this regard, as well.

We were all set to switch to teams to replace Mikogo until we found that we could not do this. It is a deal breaker for us as we do team meetings all day long -- probably about 20 a day across our company of 100ish people. Other than this feature the teams meetings is coming along very well.

If you are in a meeting room, attendees may use a laser pointer or walk on to the screen. With Skype you have a hard time as you only have words to explain where you are looking at the presenters screen.
Absolute essential!
