See participants while sharing screen
Currently, participants can see others while the screen is shared. But the presenter cannot. I would like it to be able to see participants while sharing my screen.

This function is essential for every business and presenter hosting a call. Presenter needs to be able to see audience and comments. Can MS provide an update if this upgrade is underway and expected timeline it will be implemented?

Can Microsoft please comment and give a status on this issue? We are trying to take away reasons for staff to use Zoom instead of Teams. This is a big reason that is causing us grief in our attempt to transition solely to Teams.

This is an issue in all Teams meeting with people presenting (perhaps 70%), so I think literally *millions* of people miss this feature! How come it has not been added in two years?

It is very uncomfortable to present without seeing the participants and their reactions.

There is really absolutely no reason to hide the meeting window while presenting on the other screen. This is terrible behaviour, I cannot imagine one single reason to want that to happen :(

It might already have been said, but if you DOUBLE CLICK on the window you share, the participants are not minimised.

This is absolutely needed!! Why do I need to rely on other participants to tell me someone has their hand raised - what's the point of having a hand raise feature? I want to control my meeting, not have others do it for me.

Every other video conferencing app with screen sharing displays (on the presenter's screen only) controls like show list of participants, show gallery view of participants (in another window). With all Teams screens and controls minimized, I sometimes have trouble stopping my screen share because I can't figure out which Teams screen to open in the moment.
We often need to see all of the other participants' video during our meetings, and there should be an option to either show the other participants on other screen or a control that allows you to toggle gallery view during screen share. -

Teams is so frustrating that you cannot see people whilst presenting. Please just copy the Zoom layout and have a view of people down the side and the option to minimise slides to aid discussion. It is such a task to upload slides each time as I prefer to shut down the slides when I want to open up a discussion, as it engages people to speak more. It is only our company policy that makes us use Teams. For delivering training and engaging people into conversation, it doesn’t have anywhere near the function of Zoom. Very poor for a Microsoft product.

This functionality is a necessity in order for the presenter to understand when there are questions from the audience while presenting.

Very important as a Host to have control on attendees, comments and all features to manage meeting. Not just when sharing power point, but any screen/windows/app.
