Using Presenter Modes When Sharing in a Teams Meeting
Microsoft Teams lets presenters add their video feed when sharing content in a Teams meeting. Standout Mode, Side-by-side Mode and Reporter Mode require the Teams desktop software. While in a Teams meeting, the presenter turns on the video camera and then clicks or taps the Share icon.
The Share Content panel appears with four presenter modes, as described in the sections that follow.
Pick a mode. Then select either your whole screen, a specific window, Microsoft whiteboard, or PowerPoint Live to begin sharing. For Standout Mode, Side-by-side Mode and Reporter Mode, a smaller preview window shows you what your participants see as you are presenting. If you close this preview window and you want it back, you must restart sharing using one of the three video feed presenter modes.
Content Only Mode
If you have shared content or your screen in a Teams meeting before, you have used Content Only Mode. This is the standard mode where only the content you share appears. Your video feed does not appear in the shared content.
Standout Mode
Teams offers Standout Mode when sharing content with an active camera. Standout Mode superimposes your video feed, minus any background. So only your video feed appears in the bottom-right corner of a shared screen. Keep in mind that your video feed may cover any shared content in the lower-right corner of the screen. If blocking lower-right content is an issue, consider using Side-by-side mode or Reporter mode.
Side-by-side Mode
Side-by-side Mode divides the sharing screen between your shared content and your video feed against a screen-wide background image.
Reporter Mode
The Reporter Mode shows your shared content as if you were anchoring a live news broadcast. Your shared content and your video feed are set against a screen-wide background image.
