"all monitors" desktop sharing option like Skype client
"All monitors" desktop sharing option missing from Teams
Desktop sharing in Teams includes sharing 1 monitor OR sharing 1 app... in Skype for business client there is also sharing "All Monitors". When used, a presenter with two monitors will present a view showing both monitors in one window. The viewer can see both of the presenters screens in the one window. They can view this on one monitor or stretch this window across two monitors to make it much bigger and easier to see.

I've heard from Logitech that their Teams HW solution CAN handle the multiple screens already but that MS is the one holding off.
Hopefully this gets resolved ASAP. -

I agree that this would be very helpful for training new staff virtually!

I mean if the MS team needs some suggestions, ask the Visual Studio team or other teams at Microsoft. Docked windows have been around for a decade? It shouldn't be too difficult to implement. Maybe Microsoft is too big for its own good and should consider outsourcing to a (single) consultant who could probably knock this out quicker. :-D

I have abandoned Teams for teaching at this point, as Zoom is a much better experience for me and the students. I teach computer science and it is very difficult to switch between IDE, slides and other windows and keep track of student engagement, without being able to see things on multiple monitors.
This is a critical feature for me to continue using Teams in teaching; and professionally it is a real annoyance to have participants as tiny pictures on a single monitor while screen sharing, or not at all if I'm the one sharing.

@Seb Gore It's only been a little over 3 years. They need time. Microsoft is not a dynamic startup. I'm sure they will get there, eventually.
I am in the same situation as @Tom Erickson. I lecture at university and when student groups are presenting, it is critical to see their presentation slides on one screen and ALL of their faces (bigly) on another screen. Without this feature,Teams simply does not support what higher education requires.

This forum is a waste of time as obviously no-one in Microsoft is listening to our views. As I said before, I cannot understand why this wasn't implemented from day one?
Now looking at NDI5 for an alternative solution as it seems to be too challenging for the Microsoft dev's to make this work. -

This will be a very helpful feature to add to MS Teams.

I understand why dual screen sharing is a terrible idea for meetings and presentations; however, for peer to peer training in a work from home pandemic environment it would be optimum. I propose a separate screen share menu branch for 2+ monitor labeled "training" or "collaborate" where trainers can select trainees to have a visible mouse pointer visible to all but have no control, similar to a lazer pointer. Please seriously consider this.

This is an essential feature for the large lectures and teaching programs that I am involved in. It is highly desired even for our small team meetings.

I do not use Microsoft teams as a primary solution because it does not have support for dual monitors. Please add support for dual monitors.

Please add all monitor sharing for teams. Skype can do this, why can't Teams, which is supposed to be an improvement.

As this basic feature is already available on Skype since many years, maybe Satya Nadella could talk to the owner or CEO of Skype. They can setup a meeting to figure out how Skype's code can be reused in Teams, so as to avoid reinventing the wheel. Oh wait, sorry, almost forgot, Skype is also owned by Microsoft, so why can't you just talk to the Skype developers or access the Skype source code directly?

Hi Microsoft fix this, I need this option to work. It did work in Skype for Business.
