New native macOS screen sharing in Teams meetings

Hi, Microsoft 365 Insiders! I’m Mario Novoselec, a Principal Product Manager on the Teams team. I’m excited to announce screen and window sharing tailored specifically to macOS that improves the Teams meeting experience on Mac.

Native macOS screen sharing in Teams meetings​

This new opt-in feature allows you to share your screen or window directly from macOS during Teams meetings. By leveraging Apple’s sharing models, we aim to deliver a more polished, welcoming, and intuitive experience for engaged Mac users and new adopters, as well as increase security and streamline workflows.

How it works​

This feature is disabled by default and must be enabled by the user:

1. In Teams for Mac, select Settings and more > Settings, then select General.
2. Under Screen sharing, toggle on Use macOS content sharing.
   
   
   
   
   
   NOTE: Application restart is not required after enabling.
   
3. Once in a meeting, select Share to start a screen share, and then select Select a screen or window to begin using the Mac native experience.
   
   
   

Known limitations​

• You cannot Give or Take control when using the Mac native experience for screen sharing.

To use this feature, you must be a member of the Teams Public Preview or Microsoft 365 Targeted release and use the Teams client for Mac.
