🌦️ How to activate weatherman mode in Teams? [Presenter mode] ☀️

Meeting participants tend to be more focused and have a better experience when they see the presenter during a presentation. An interactive presenter helps to engage the target audience more in delivering sessions, lessons, seminars, or demonstrations. Just like during a lesson, it is more pleasant for the students to be able to see the board and the teacher as in the physical world, next to or in front of the board.

In this blog, I'll explain how you can activate this presenter mode before or during a Teams-meeting.
