Ability to pin shared screen alongside videos in teams meeting
We need a solution for our deaf staff, when their interpreters are connecting to teams meeting.
Currently, we can pin our deaf members video and the interpreters video side by side but if someone want´s to share screen for instance a PowerPoint, the shared screen is taking over.

Dynamic view sounds like it might address this, but doesn't say whether it is for GCC or not:

MRobe, we notice a delay when screen sharing, so bringing the webcam (or Teams meeting window with the Interpreter pinned) into the sharing area doesn't work well, due to the delay.

My hack - I have a second camera ( an ELMO doc cam) running Image Mate software. I can share my screen then size the document and have both (doc & video) on the screen simultaneously.

This is a critical need as well for Deaf students in the educational setting, especially for those who are not fluent in reading written English. If the interpreter is not visible in a reasonably sized picture, then the student has NO access to the material being presented.

Provide better access to the Deaf. Let's make MS Teams inclusive!

This update (above link) does not work when share screen is being done. Please vote for this to be updated. So share screen and spotlight can happen at the same time in the screen.

Hopefully this issue will be solved with Dynamic view. We are very much looking forward to get this feature soon.
Please notice that the spotlight feature still did not solve this issue. -

We desperately need the ability for students to see their teacher and interpreter simultaneously with the shared screen. Especially for young students it is too difficult to minimize the shared screen and switch back and forth. Being able to split the screen and view the shared screen alongside the pinned participants is essential!

Having this feature is a must so the learning environment is inclusive to all students of all abilities.

This would be amazing! We started using Teams for our virtual class meetings, and this is a struggle.
I do see the suggestion below, that could be an ok temp fix.
I’m not sure the younger kids, or some of our less tech savvy parents could do that easily.
Plus, I work in a low income area where internet is not always great, running two videos would be rough.Being able to pin the terp, speaker, and screen share would be amazing for full access.

As an aside, it's kinda possible to achieve this today...
Join the meeting in Teams Desktop Client, pin the video of the speaker, snap the window to one side.
Join the same meeting in Teams in a browser, mute your mic, speakers etc. and have it show the presentation....But it's a faff, and having this baked in to the Desktop Client would be amazing

As a Disability Support Officer this function will make a huge difference to the student being able to view and interpreting live.

Deaf students need access to shared screens *and* the interpreter!

Of course this is needed if we want to be all inclusive and successfully move to a blended learning approach

needed for our Sign-language interpreters.
A permanent pinned view of the speaker is also required for the presenter to support lipreading among our deaf and hard-of hearing students.Thank you!

Yes. We need this for our sign-language interpreters - ideally with an indication of their role - along with their name, for example.
I was recently in a session where the sign-language interpreters (who usually work in pairs or in small teams, alternating) had to be announced verbally to bring them to the attention of the deaf-and hard-or-hearing participants.A permanent pinned view of the speaker is also required for the presenter to support lipreading among the deaf and hard-of hearing community.
Thank you!
