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 drives me insane - i need to be able to share a document and see everyone too - why is the presenter getting a worse experience than anyone else?

I am surprised there are not more votes on this feature which is super essential for schools, coaches, businesses... It's an all rounder.
As a result I use Zoom which smoothly integrates this feature but not all my clients have authorisation to use zoom due to security reasons.
Please add this and you will make the user experience way greater. Thank you! -

Absolutely essential for teachers to be able to maximize students and not content on a second screen while sharing!!!! Please return this feature!

When a participant is sharing, how can we separate the content being shared on one window and then the participants in another window? This was a feature that was available last year but seems to have gone away

Up until today, when I was sharing my screen with device 2, it always came up on device 1 as well, but I have been able to switch back the gallery view to see my students again by clicking on the gallery.
When I started sharing my screen from device 2 today, this shared screen took up most of of the screen on device 1 and I could only see my students as tiny thumbnails (video feeds or profile pictures) at the top. It was disappointing to see that I couldn't reset the view on device 1 and so I was stuck seeing my shared screen with my students' pictures minimized at the top. There is no sense in using two screens anymore if I can't see the gallery in the foreground.

I was able to do this with two screens, although I have to click on the gallery screen again.

Being able to share your Desktop or even one screen/app AND seeing participants for reactions or just to see them "face to face" is not something that's "nice to have", it's an absolute essential - especially since many (if not most) of us are working remotely. I'm not sure WHY Microsoft would remove this feature, why someone would think this was an unnecessary part of Teams Meetings. PLEASE PUT IT BACK!

The Desktop sharing option does not allow viewing of the participants while sharing your desktop. However, other sharing options like PowerPoint or Browse do. Thanks!

Its possible , when sharing the PPT please browse the PPT file from your right pane and it will upload to Teams and then you can see participants video, your PPT notes and slides as well in single screen
