How does screen casting work in Microsoft Teams?
Today, many companies hold seminars, events, and other types of meetings online. This approach requires certain features, such as enabling the video camera for meetings , muting/unmuting audio, and sharing the desktop , audio, and/or camera. This allows users to access the same content in real time.
Screencasting in Microsoft Teams works like this: any meeting participant (moderator, presenter, or producer) instantly enables the screen sharing option. Other users then receive a notification to accept screen sharing in order to continue the chat.
What is the procedure to share the entire screen of your device?
You can do this using the Microsoft Teams website or the mobile app. It’s important to note that in addition to your screen, you can share a window or PowerPoint presentation. This sharing option isn’t available on Linux.

Some relevant aspects
It’s important to note that once you share a PowerPoint presentation, participants can view and move each slide individually in the panel. This can change if the presenter takes control of the file to maintain focus on specific slides.
The moderator can give control over content sharing to some participants. They can use commands that could modify applications or the system. It’s not possible to give control over shared PowerPoint presentations. Additionally, participants can disable content sharing if they wish.
