On a Mac? The first time you share, macOS asks for permission. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen & System Audio Recording, turn on Microsoft Teams, then quit and reopen Teams.
Before you share
- Close anything with student records or other private information.
- Turn on Do not disturb so chat pop-ups don't show.
- Can't see the Share button? The organizer may have limited who can present. Ask them to make you a presenter.
