🖥️ The best way to share an PowerPoint presentation in Microsoft Teams

It is often the case that people share their screen and share a presentation that is not in presentation mode. There is only one way to share a PowerPoint presentation using the built-in Microsoft Teams presentation mode and weatherman mode, and that is the best way. By sharing the presentation in these modes, you can ensure that the presentation is shared with your audience in a professional manner, without distractions or other elements that distract from the presentation itself. In addition, presentation modes can ensure that the presentation is shared in a consistent manner so that all participants have the same experience. By using these modes, you can ensure that your presentations are shared efficiently and effectively with your target audience.

Activate weatherman mode or presenter mode in Microsoft Teams?

Meeting participants tend to be more focused and have a better experience when they see a presenter during a presentation. An interactive presenter also helps guide an audience along with visual cues.

  1. After your meeting has started, in the upper right corner of Teams select : Share Content.

Good afternoon Jasper, if a presentation is given on a projector, can it be shared simultaneously in TEAMS?

Good afternoon, I have now experienced a few times in MS Teams that as a presenter I see the slide show mode of my powerpoint presentation, but the participants see the normal mode. Even if I stop sharing and share again, the participants still do not see the slide show. The disadvantage is that animated slides then don't work. How can I solve this?
Thanks and regards, Claudia

If you share a Powerpoint presentation via 'window' you will enter PowerPoint and see the different slides. The other participants also see this. However, if you then start the slide show, the participants no longer see the presentation. They only see a black screen and your cursor (if it moves). I only work with 1 screen.
So I suppose that presenting via 'window' only works if you have 2 screens as a presenter? Or am I seeing this wrong?
