    You can just ask your IT admin to create a student account for use in demo's. I did this and called it Dummy.Account for the ID. Students think it is hilarious when i sign in to Office 365 on a demo and i am welcomed with 'Good morning Dummy'!

    I currently use my own daughter's account to access the student view. A sample student account would be fantastic!

    Yes, this would be great. Canvas and WebAssign (the other tools that I'm using for my classes) both have this, and it makes things a lot easier when I'm trying to explain to my students where to find something, or when I want to check that I posted things correctly so that they'll be where I want them to be from a student account.

    Please do this!
    We need this Student View so we can properly guide our students to the correct locations in Teams. I want to make some "How To" videos for my students, but can't effectively right now since my Teacher view is different than their view. 6th graders get so confused or hung up on the smallest differences in screen appearance.

    I would also like this to be a feature so that I know EXACTLY what my students are able to see and access and what their experience is like. I would also like to be able to verify, after I post a video, share a PDF, etc that it is accessible to my students. I, of course, have permissions for everything I try to post, but I have made some mistakes in setting permissions for students and don't find that out until I "go live" and the kids then alert me to the problems, and I'm hoping if we were added as a "sample student" we could test those things out.

    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.
