Teams Screen Sharing and Presenting
Learn to share the correct window or screen safely and avoid exposing notifications or unrelated information in this beginner-friendly Microsoft 365 lesson.
Before you begin
Use an approved training team, chat or meeting. Ask permission before recording, transcribing or sharing someone else's screen.
Step-by-step instructions
- Open Microsoft Teams on the web or desktop and confirm you are using the intended account.
- Share a practice application window and stop sharing.
- Pause and check permissions, filenames, recipients, dates or settings that affect the task.
- Test the result: avoid exposing notifications or unrelated information.
- Confirm who can see the conversation, file or meeting item and remove any test content that should not remain.
Ian's practical tip: Use sample information first. Once the workflow is correct, repeat it with approved work information and the minimum necessary access.
