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 seems to be a very basic requirement and it's surprising that it doesn't exist in Teams. Was hoping to find the answer here but if I can't see my team while sharing a screen, it's useless. Happy to just use Zoom but disappointing oversight from MS here.

Yes, we need to be able to see all participants and access the same interactive/chat functions that participants use to avoid endless stopping and starting of screen sharing during presentations / workshops. Thank you.

I train adults, I agree with all previous comments on here. It is very disorientating not being able to see more than 1 or 2 random participants. It makes it impossible for me to "read" the facial expressions and body language - which is an essential skill for any teacher / trainer. PLEASE sort this out urgently.

Use 2 screens/devices.
Sometimes I use a kindle and my laptop. I also can use a PC and two monitors. -

yes ,it's a big problem that I can't notice someone is left behind if I can't see there face. It will be a big reason to force me to use zoom.

This is why Zoom is so much better. Teams, if you want to stay competitive you need to at minimum offer what your competition does. Step up your game

As the presenter, it would be extremely helpful to be able to see participants, who has their hand raised and be able to call others to join in the meeting, if needed. Thanks!

Personally I use zoom for all my teaching, it has what I need- the screen sharing, presentations where I can see my students and who's speaking, break out rooms, etc. I'm now in the position that I have to use Teams for business English lessons- not my decision....it's a total nightmare. Presentation and I can't see the expression on my students' faces?? I can't see who wants to ask a question, can't use the chat at the same time? I'm not the organizer and from outside the company and as a guest I can't use certain features...so if they do add break out rooms but only the organizer can use them nothing will change for me the teacher, who is the most important person in the classroom.

If Zoom can do it, why not TEAMS. Impossible to teach with TEAMS without this feature!
