Mute Myself While Sharing Screen
Attempted to mute myself while sharing my screen and experienced large delays from clicking the mute button and when I was actually muted

Surprised this is not resolved already - with the huge amount of presentations people are doing on Teams nowadays, you would expect the capability for the presenter to clear their throat or cough without bursting someone's ear drum.

Yes This is really required as at times participants need discussion and presenter shound go on mute without switching shared window.
Only way I am able to do so now is using laptop function key which is hardware level mute -

You can do so, but selecting ONLY the screen which you want to Share. For E.g. If i want to share My Google Chrome, then i would only select Google Chrome and NOT Desktop. That way it will share Chrome and also give you the Small minimized window where you can mute yourself. Hope this helps.

This needs to be made available sooner rather than later. Even the little teams window seems to be disappearing when presenting.

Yes totally agree! In other services you can just see the interface even while presenting and mute it.Microsoft teams definitely needs this feature

I totally agree! Microsoft says there's a hotkey for muting (Ctrl-Shift-M), but the hotkey only works if you're NOT sharing your screen. When I'm presenting something, which I do often, and I need to cough or clear my throat (which unfortunately I also do often), I need a hotkey to toggle mute, then hit it again to toggle it back on. Instead I have to pull up the little Teams window, click mute, couch, click it again, then minimize it.
This is supported and much easier to do in other meeting/conferencing tools.
