Why use “Present in Teams”?
Built-In Inclusive Learning
When you Present in Teams, you provide your audience with more control over how they digest the information on your slides. Your audience then has the ability to:
- Adjust text and overall slide size
- Adjust contrast on slides
- Translate slides into another language
- Navigate through the slides at their own pace (without needing to stay on the same slide as the presenter)
- Select links to view referenced content
No Need to Share your Entire Screen
You can share your presentation without sharing your entire screen. No more accidentally sharing the wrong screen, pulling up a window you didn’t want people to see, or having notifications flash on your screen!
Presenter Tools
The Present in Teams view for the presenter is often considered a cleaner and more direct view for the presenter. Notes, thumbnails and upcoming slides are visible without needing to juggle different windows.
