More information
Updated November 7, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
In Microsoft Teams, we are delivering new enhancements to the presenter window that is shown while screensharing.
The presenter window now shows up to four meeting participants (both video and audio), active speakers, raised hands and reactions, and a preview of shared content.
Meeting notifications are surfaced to the central area of the screen for easier awareness and consistent windowing behavior.
These enhancements improve awareness and visibility of what's going on in your meeting and make it easier to engage with other attendees while screensharing.

How this will affect your organization:
When sharing the Microsoft Teams screen or content, the presenter will now be able to better keep track of the participants' activity during a meeting by using an extended presenter window.
