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 found this neccessary. The lack of a "share pointer" makes it harder for users to fixate their minds. Considering how important remote working is with COVID lock down hanging over our heads- this is a must have feature.

in a Remote work environment, this is crucial for our company to improve collaboration. any updates on when this will be rolled out? It's been on the backlog for a while. Team Viewer allows for this if you'd like to see an example of how it works.

I agree with others here that sharing the pointer is a critical feature that should be implemented ASAP. It greatly enhances the ability for true interaction with other participants and reduces the frustration of one participant having to waste everyone's time trying to explain where on a map, drawing or document they want to focus everyone's attention.

This feature would be much more helpful then this recently implemented "raise hand" feature.
It seems that it got lost in the backlog? -

This is a a crucial function that needs to be implemented. It limits seriously the interactions without the ability to point but also to highlight or comment.

This is me demoing the product to users, here’s a great feature, another great feature, further great feature. A user asks what the PowerPoint experience is like, straight away notices the mouse pointer is missing for the presenter, how are we supposed to highlight detail in a presentation where no one is in the room to point at it without that, er don’t know. Find out pretty quickly you open PowerPoint presentation in the browser through SharePoint instead and share that instead, hardly slick its an odd omission for a remote presentation tool.

PowerPOINT presentations are seriously hampered by the inability to POINT at something.

Lacking this function is a killer for Teams. It is pretty cool to allow viewers to flip through slides without interrupting the presenter. But the presenter CANNOT use the pointer in the ppt sharing mode. Seriously??

This is really extremely important. We are rolling out teams worldwide and most of the questions we get are about this feature. -

I would love to have this! Actually you have to to this by taking over the screen from the partner, and that is not wanted or allowed in some cases. So you cannot show your partner the point on the screen you want so show.
