Microsoft Teams is a popular collaboration tool that allows users to communicate and work together remotely. One of the key features of Microsoft Teams is the ability to share your screen with others during a meeting or call. However, if you want to take control of the presentation and become the presenter, there are a few steps you need to follow.
Step 1: Join the Meeting
The first step is to join the meeting in Microsoft Teams. You can do this by clicking on the meeting link or opening the Microsoft Teams app and selecting the meeting from your calendar. Once you’re in the meeting, you should see a list of participants and a chat window.
Step 2: Share Your Screen
To become the presenter, you need to share your screen with others. To do this, click on the “Share” button in the meeting toolbar at the bottom of the screen. This will open a menu where you can select what you want to share. You can choose to share your entire desktop, a specific window, or just a whiteboard.
Step 3: Request Control
Once you’ve shared your screen, you need to request control of the presentation. To do this, click on the “Request Control” button in the meeting toolbar at the bottom of the screen. This will send a notification to the current presenter that you want to take over.
Step 4: Take Over
If the current presenter grants your request, you’ll become the new presenter and have control of the presentation. You can now navigate through your slides or documents as needed, and others will see what you’re doing on their screens.
Step 5: End Your Presentation
When you’re done presenting, simply click on the “Stop Sharing” button in the meeting toolbar at the bottom of the screen. This will end your presentation and return control to the previous presenter or the meeting organizer.
Conclusion
Becoming a presenter in Microsoft Teams is a simple process that allows you to share your screen and take control of the presentation. By following these steps, you can easily become the presenter during a meeting or call and share your content with others.
