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 request has been accepted by the feature team and is in the queue.
It isn’t the neatest, but as a workaround you can request control in order to do this.
I’ll keep you posted as more information becomes available.

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!

After a week of evaluation of Teams we found that missing the ability to click on the screen and get a label stating who clicked is the one feature missing for us to use it fully and to replace TeamViewer as well.

This feature is very important to my team and was used daily on other business conferencing apps (Slack, Zoom).
Please prioritize this as highly as possible.

Teams is a good platform, but requires the ability to annotate, point and draw while in screen share mode. Zoom has these features and it makes all the difference in the world. Please implement.

Zoom's implementation where there is a flag that sticks the user's name in it works well.
Can't emphasize enough how nice and useful this would be in Teams!!! Makes a *huge* difference to enable remote users to interact with others in this regard.

For sophisticated collaborative work this small feature is really essential. The more the larger the goup/team. Requesting control is not a feasible workaround. We used to work with quite a lot of different tools like Skype, Skype for Business (Lync), MS Teams, Mikogo, Zoom, Google Hangout, TeamViewer / Blizz. Since the only tool ofering this 'pointing' feature is TeamViewer, but TeamViewer is not a chat/communication tool, we often ended up using Skype for the communication and TeamViewer for Screensharing. Which is kind of embarrassing.

There are similar requests for Skype for Business with ~4.000 votes. This topic is still very important, since other vendors offer this feature. Please see:
