Microsoft Teams Screen Sharing Mac

Oct 18, 2019 I have the exact same issue with the difference that not even a reboot solves the problem. I have allowed screen recording restarted the application, rebooted the Mac but nothing helps. Annoyingly this happens both with Microsoft Teams and Bluejeans. Very, very annoying and disrupting. I sincerely hope Apple addresses this asap. Unable to hear audio when sharing a video in a Teams meeting We are trying to show a video about Teams from Ignite in a Teams meeting. Three attendees tried sharing their screen and playing the video, but no one could hear the sound. Share your screen, add your voice. Now while sharing your screen in a group or 1:1 chat you're able to add audio at any time. In the top right of your chat select, and once the others in your chat accept the screen share, select Let's talk to start talking. January 25, 2019. Sign me up, Scotty!

When you need to communicate and collaborate with people outside your organization, Microsoft Teams gives you two different ways to make that happen. The first – external access (federation) – lets you find, call, and chat with users in other domains (for example, contoso.com). The second – guest access – lets you add individuals to your teams, as guests, using their email address. You can collaborate with guests as you would with any other users in your organization.

You can use both external access and guest access if you want - one doesn't preclude the other.

At a high level, here’s how to choose (for a detailed comparison, jump down to Compare external and guest access):

External access

Use external access (federation) when you need a solution that lets external users in other domains find, call, chat, and set up meetings with you. External users have no access to your organization's teams or team resources. Choose external access when you want to communicate with external users who are still on Skype for Business (online or on premises) or Skype (coming in early 2020).

External access is turned on by default in Teams, which means your org can communicate with all external domains. The Teams admin can turn it off or specify which domains to include (or exclude). To learn more, read Manage external access.

If you want external users to have access to teams and channels, guest access might be a better way to go.

Guest access

Use guest access to add an individual user (regardless of domain) to a team, where they can chat, call, meet, and collaborate on organization files (stored in SharePoint or OneDrive for Business), using Office 365 apps such as Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. A guest user can be given nearly all the same Teams capabilities as a native team member. To learn more, read Guest access in Teams.

  • Guests are added to your organization’s Active Directory.
  • To communicate with a guest, the guest has to be signed in to Teams using their guest account. This means that a guest may have to sign out of their own Teams account to sign in to your Teams account.
  • Guest users have access to more resources in Teams - such as files, teams, and channels - than external-access (federated) users.
  • The Teams admin controls everything that a guest can (or can’t) do in the Teams admin center. To learn more, read Manage guest access.

If you're ready to turn on guest access in your organization, start with the Guest access checklist.
