Teams developer tools are updated to allow sharing from Teams apps to chats, channels, and meetings. The rollout timeline has been updated, with Public Developer Preview in early June, Targeted Release in early September, and General Availability in mid-September 2024. No admin action is required before the rollout.
Updated July 26, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
Today, users can share content to a Microsoft Teams meeting directly from a standalone webapp (in the browser) if developers have embedded a Share-in-Meeting control in their webapps. Today, this control allows users to share content only to an ongoing Teams meeting (or a new ad-hoc meeting) on the same device. In this rollout, we will retain the control's existing capabilities, and we will enhance the control to enable users to share content to a meeting scheduled for the future. We will combine the Share-in-Meeting controls with the existing Share to Teams dialog box, so users can use one dialog box to share from a Teams app to Teams chats, channels, or meetings. We are also introducing the ability for users to choose Present Now from the dialog to present content in a Teams meeting. Developers can choose to opt into the features in this rollout. This rollout applies to Teams for Windows, the web, and Mac.
