How do I share my screen in Microsoft Teams?

In Microsoft Teams, you can show your desktop, a specific app, presentation, or any file while in a meeting.

  1. Select Share Share screen button  in the top right of screen.
  2. Select what you want to share:
  • Desktop lets you show everything on your screen.
  • Window lets you show a specific app.
  • PowerPoint lets you show a presentation.
  • Browse lets you find the file you want to show.
  1. After you select what you want to show, a red border surrounds what you're sharing.
  2. Select Stop sharing to stop showing your screen.

Note: Linux users won't see the red border surrounding what they are sharing. Also, window sharing isn't available for Linux users.
