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

Meeting participants are usually more focused and have a better experience when they see a presenter during a presentation.

An interactive presenter helps to engage the target audience more when giving sessions, lessons, seminars or demos.

As in the classroom, it is more comfortable for the students to see the board and the teacher as in the physical world, next to or in front of the board.

In this blog I will explain how you can activate this presenter mode before or during a Teams meeting.
