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.

I agree, this would be great to have for creative, collaborative work that isn't tied to a document format. Circuit also has had this for over a year!

how many people does MS need to implement a pointer to Teams? Its a basic feature, especially when we're limited access to people.

This is a must have feature if you are going to be relevant in the age of online teaching/training. The teacher/trainer must have the ability to point out something on a student's screen.

As a presenter I would like that ability, so the participants can see what I referring to as well.

I also think this should be higher priority. I spend a lot of time, explaining the presenter which part of the screen I am talking about or which element/field I would like him to click.

all of my users are asking for this functionality for teaching purposes. They are migrating *away* from Teams to use other tools that do have it.

It is critical for the presenter to be able to share his pointer along with his slides so that his audience can follow more precisely the discussion, and confusion can thus be mitigated. Clear and unequivocal communication is the purpose of Microsoft Teams. Adding the ability to share the pointer should be at the top of your to do list. Thanks!

With the current environment presenting is key. My viewers knowing where/what I'm pointing to helps immensely with my presentation

It is difficult to explain something without a proper pointer especially when you are working on other apps such as Excel and Word.

As a scientist who now frequently has to deliver scientific talks via MS Teams, it is frustrating to not have a 'pointer' option. It is quite challenging and distracting (and takes more time than necessary) to verbally have to describe specific features of the presentation for the audience to focus on. Seems like a no-brainer thing to have added from the beginning.

Please raise the priority of this feature. It will raise the acceptance of the tool accordingly. (People stick to other tools due to this missing feature.)
