Today, we\u2019re going to take a deeper dive into screen sharing in a Microsoft Teams meeting. When you open the share menu, you\u2019ll see several options. But what does each do, and how can they help you achieve your goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Screen Sharing with a Document Camera <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to share content from a document camera, first make sure that your document camera is plugged in. If the camera isn\u2019t plugged in, you won\u2019t see the options in the meeting to share from the camera.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select \u201cShare content\u201d inside your Teams meeting and choose \u201ccontent from camera.\u201d That will then open a tab where you can select \u201cdocument\u201d as your type of camera. From the drop-down, select your document camera. Finally, click \u201cshare\u201d in the bottom left to begin sharing content from the document camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Screen Sharing vs Using PowerPoint Live <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At first glance, it might seem like showing a PowerPoint on your screen and using PowerPoint Live does the same thing. And, to some extent, it does. Both allow you to share content with your students. But PowerPoint Live also gives both you and your students additional options to enhance the learning experience.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a presenter, PowerPoint Live gives you some additional tools. You\u2019ll can turn on a \u201cpresenter view\u201d where you can see the current slide, any notes you\u2019ve added for yourself, and a thumbnail strip of slides at the bottom of the screen. Meeting attendees will only be able to see the current slide \u2013 not any of the extras that you can use to make your experience easier!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PowerPoint Live also gives your students some more options. If they’re taking notes and missed a crucial piece of information, they can jump back a slide or two then click a \u201csync to presenter\u201d button to return to the current slide in the lecture. They can also choose to modify the slides to be in a high contrast mode or even translated to another language. Each student can individually select these things \u2013 one student\u2019s tweaks don\u2019t affect the rest of the class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you screen share, however, your students will see whatever you have on your screen, including any presenter notes or other details.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Screen Sharing vs Window Sharing <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re wanting to just share a file or program you have open on your computer, you can use either screen<\/em> or window<\/em> sharing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Window sharing shows only a particular window (file or program) on your computer. For example, you might want to pull up your course in Canvas and talk over some things with your class and also<\/em> have up a page of lecture notes. With window sharing, you can choose to show your students just the browser window \u2013 they won\u2019t also see your document with the lecture notes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Screen sharing, however, shows everything you have on your screen. If you have a browser window open on part of your screen and a document on the rest, your students will see both!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you start sharing content, make sure you select which option works best for what you\u2019re trying to do. If you have questions, please feel free to leave a comment below or email us at ctl@cedarville.edu<\/a>. We\u2019d love to help! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
