Totally agree. Author should give examples and step by step instead of talking non-stop. …which have really made for good video. Instead, I had to make notes to Google for topics after the video.
Yeah, that was what i was looking for also, no demo just talk talk talk. An easier and better way to teach and for people to remember is to show how it's done. I am not here for a pep talk
Some goood tips I picked up but it did not answer the problem I was looking for. I have 2 monitors plus a projector on a wall screen. My secondary monitor has the taskbar disabled and makes a nice clean window to share. The projector screen is duplicated from my secondary screen. I move Teams over to the secondary/presentation monitor and everything looks great UNTIL I start sharing in Teams. As soon as I start sharing my screen, the presentation screen automatically moves to my primary monitor with the red outline. I cannot get it to move to the secondary screen with the projector screen. So all that gets shared is my main primary screen with the taskbar and all my icons. Exactly the opposite of what I want to happen. How do I control the location of the presentation screen?
I found the answer and I am a little embarassed to admit it, but when you share, you have choices of 2 screens and you pick the one you want to share. I was used to having only one monitor and was thinking the other screen was a window share and kept picking the left screen. Gotta pay closer attention to what you are looking at. All good now. Maybe this will help someone else.
I find your video's very helpful. I use 3 monitors (all same size connected my tower PC) for over a decade already. And, I'm not a gamer😀. Actually, I work in the online marketing industry. However, since a few years been doing online education. Till recently, I was using Zoom, Slack, Google Classroom. Just switched to MS TEAMS and that's how I cam across your video. I realised that you cannot find much about using three monitors with Teams or even generally much about the benefits of 3 monitors. Probably the demand for such video is very low, but there seems to be very little (if at all) competition covering such topic. Thought you might be interested knowing this. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Great Concise description of what to do, in understandable jargon and 'TLA' free language. Great coaching on what and how to actually use teh advantage give. Now a subscriber. Thank You!
Hi there, I want to share my Teams session on a 2nd device (actually my TV), but I want to keep the voice sound on my laptop, so that I can use my headphones (as far as I know my TV does not have an inut micophone I could use to pick up my talking... How do I do this? Simple as starting the Teams session on my Laptop & dragging the window to my 2nd screen (TV)? Or would that also transfer the sound?
As long as you're not changing your audio devices, it shouldn't matter. But always hit ⋯ > Device Settings and choose the correct speaker/mic if you're concerned.
The Teams recording *always* records whatever Teams sends through. So it records whatever faces/video feeds are going through plus whatever screen is being shared. If you're an attendee, an organizer cannot record your screen if you are not sharing it.
Why can't we have TEAMS open via the desktop App and then open TEAMS via a browser on the 2nd monitor? Then share a PowerPoint etc on the 2nd screen. I think you need to turn the audio and video off on the 2nd screen. Hopefully this works.
@@jumpto365 I'm keen to present a PowerPoint to people and have two screens. If I use the feature from TEAMS, then I lose my webcam video. I just thought a workaround would be to have two TEAMS running at once. One as the desktop App and one as the Web version.
I don't like that you cannot see yourself when you share in teams. Can i present a screen an be 'super-imposed' on top of it, like a background? This is how they present the weather on tv, isn't it.
Check out the presenter mode feature. It shows a preview that shows what everyone else sees (that window cannot be seen by other people, even if you're sharing your whole screen).
Love your content as usual, exceptional video as usual. But the audio didn’t work for me. Audio echo fatigued me and drew more attention to itself over time. But great points. Thanks
Hi Matt, how do I share both screens in teams presentation without all having under one screen? I want that red square on both monitors vs one. Hellllp
Any thoughts / tips on how to appropriately share a monitor with high resolutions (e.g. 2k, 4k), I’ve read that content might be presented but does not look well and therefore resolution must be set to up to 1920x1080. Awesome video!
Increase scaling to 200-300%. Participants are viewing it in windowed mode on mostly laptop/tablet screens, anything at 100% plus with compression would be worse text than a newspaper photographed on a Nintendo DS.
Please enable closed captions on your videos. It would also be nice to know where we can find the video for each presentation in your website. Your website is blocked. Didn't watch it all due to no captions.
Just to set expectations, this video does *not* go into how to connect your screens (this is RU-vid, you'll find a video specific to your monitor by using the search box above) nor can you share both screens at the same time (Teams doesn't support it). It appears some folks were expecting something different based on the title; unfortunately any title for this concept could apply to what I'm actually talking about (how best to juggle two monitors when you're presenting in a Teams meeting) and what some viewers seemed to be expecting. Apologies for that, but there's not much I can do about that phrasing confusion. This is meant for people who have presented in Teams before and want power user tips. If you don't already know how to share your screen in Teams, this isn't the video for you.
Actually, if you remove “how to” and add “power user tips,” you would be clear about the content in your video. How to states you are explaining how to do something, which isn’t in this video. Suggested video title, “Pro tips to make your Teams meetings more efficient when you use two screens.” This states everything without confusion because it states the video offers PTO tips to people who are already using two screens.
Hey Matt, So much good stuff. Been fighting the good fight with 1 screen and no support on how to do the things that are in this video. I need to start from 0. Where, what do I start with? This is great but each cool tip is building on things I am not doing.
Yes indeed! I grab a small flag from all the places I've visited. Also, I used to live on St. Thomas and could see PR from my apartment, actually. Finally made it for a Microsoft in-person visit once, then returned for a couple conferences. Viejo San Juan es mi área favorita de la hermosisima isla.
