    Yup, student view would be super handy for planning and for supporting students. Would even allow teacher to create student tutorial inside teams environment showing students where to find everything, with the screen looking like what they see.

    yEs! I was sharing my screen trying to show students how to submit an assignment but then I couldnt because I dont have a "student-view"- so what I see as a teacher is different than what they see.

    It is very hard to help small children when you can't see their screen. I need to see what they're looking at the time we are learning something

    Please give teachers the option to create a "sample student", so we can demonstrate how to use Teams to our students using a view they are seeing themselves.

    This is definitely important as a demonstration feature, especially for my youngest students. However, I find myself wishing that I could see the student view as I am learning to add assignments and use the functionality of Teams. I wish to see what it looks like before I make the official assignment!

    I tried to use an extra computer to see the student view, but it made the terrible noise! Creating a way to see the student view would definitely improve online "Live" instructions and managing Teams Assignment and so on.

    I agree. It would make it much easier to see from a student perspective what the assignments and Teams itself looks like. Our district would not give us sample students.

    This would be AMAZING. Asking IT to make a “sample student” account causes data management issues because all accounts are pulled from PowerSchool. If it was a feature built into TEAMs I would be able to walk students through my assignments from a view I know they see, which is the most ideal because I made the assignment, so I know it best!

    Have your IT person create a sample student and use that student view when showing your students what you need to demonstrate.

    I use myblueprint in my classes and any teacher or counsellor account has a student view button with their own mock student account - I can complete all the same tasks and activities my students can do - it's great as a way to walk them through step by step and see what it's like from their perspective.

    Or to assume the student role to preview the effects of one's options before saving any change.
