remote control uac
We're using Teams for chat and video meetings, but would like to use the screen sharing and remote control for troubleshooting and suppport requests. However, Windows does not pass UAC prompts through the Teams screen sharing.

Thank you for your feedback. We have worked planned to improve remote control for elevated applications. We will share an update as soon as one is available.

The availability in IT to answer prompts for UAC takes teams to a new level when helping so many deployed to work from home.

I see that it's already planned, only chiming in to concur with my IT admin peers that this feature is most necessary, and hoping to be notified upon update.

This is needed, now, its 2021 and people are working more and more from home due to COVID. Please get this implemented :)
The UAC prompt shows its just hidden from the remote user, so it's not as if you need to undo a block.

I need this very badly, if I install any software, the the UAC pops up for username password which is not appearing for the remote person.

Please add this feature - there's even a GPO out there where I can turn off the secure desktop when prompting for elevation, but even with that disabled, while I can see the box asking for credentials, I can't type anything - the user has to type at that point:
User Account Control: Switch to the secure desktop when prompting for elevation
This policy setting controls whether the elevation request prompt is displayed on the interactive user's desktop or the secure desktop.
The options are:
• Enabled: (Default) All elevation requests go to the secure desktop regardless of prompt behavior policy settings for administrators and standard users.
• Disabled: All elevation requests go to the interactive user's desktop. Prompt behavior policy settings for administrators and standard users are used.

Just agreeing with the rest of the group. 95% of my workforce is Covid home based and I have to remote support these 300+ users. Having to use a tool like SCCM Remote Support is problematic as it is slow to detect systems after a reboot. Teams is a great tool and would be better with this feature.
If security is an issue add an opt-in feature to allow the current remote user UAC support.

Our corporation is using Teams to control users desktops/laptops but when something needs a admin login the screen sharing freezes when the UAC prompt pops up. Is there a solution for this so that I can type in my Admin credentials?. With so many users working from home with COVID this feature is greatly needed..

This feature is so obviously necessary the fact you have an online poll for it is absurd. Logmein, Teamviewer, Slashtop, Pcanywhere, Zoom, would all be priced out of the market if MS Teams had this function. This feature would create additional cost saving for so many small businesses, any fence sitting on Office 365 would be gone.
