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 is CONSISTENTLY the largest "ding" we hear against Teams vs. Zoom in our enterprise. It seems like it should be a very simple function to build a modal that has "undocks" the participants view from the Teams window, similar to the popout for Chat.

    Yeap, as a teacher who works with little guys it is essential to be able to see the little faces when you share an image. Sometimes some of them put up the finger to say something and I can not see them ! I have to ask them to speak loudly without asking (it means exactly the inverse of what we ask them to do in the class). Poor little guys!

    i needed it like yesterday!!! how can teams be soooo oblivious to the needs of presenters.. its just common sense!!!

    I really want to see my class while sharing a PowerPoint. It is frustrating that I cannot see the whole class. Please could Microsoft Teams change this. If Zoom can do this, this should be a possibility.

    My idea for you is poach a few programmers fr4om Zoom so you can catch up to the many many features available on that platform!!

    If the virtual is supposed to imitate real life now face to face is often difficult due to COVID 19, then using Microsoft Teams to present a powerpoint presentation is like presenting to a room with your eyes closed! Would we do that and expect a good result? Please make a way to see the participants whilst screen sharing. It's possible on zoom ....

    please put this high on the priority list, as well as having the option to use two screens (one with content and one with gallery view of the participants)

    I often run meetings and need to share my screen. I need to be able to see the participant list while sharing my screen, which is currently not an option.

    This would be good but being able to have the gallery on one screen and the shared content on another screen is the way i'd like to use it
