Microsoft Teams to Support Two Simultaneous Screen Shares Starting in November 2026
You share, I share, and we take turns. If you use Microsoft Teams, you probably know the drill. I’ve got good news for you: you won’t have to hand off control anymore, because Microsoft is preparing a feature that will let two presenters share their screen, or a window, at the same time. Here’s what we know so far.
Today, during a Microsoft Teams meeting, screen sharing is limited to one person at a time. So if there are two of you presenting and leading the meeting, the person who is supposed to present has to wait until the first person stops sharing, or start their own share, which replaces the one already in progress. For some types of meetings, that becomes annoying very quickly.
Microsoft has decided to tackle the issue, which has resulted in a new entry in the Microsoft 365 roadmap (80239). Its description reads: "Two presenters can share a screen or window at the same time in a Teams meeting. Participants can see both shared content streams simultaneously, making it easier to compare and discuss content from different presenters."
Displaying two pieces of content side by side, shared by two different people, is what this should make possible. At least on paper.
What Microsoft Plans
Let’s be honest: Microsoft’s roadmap is still pretty light on details, but it does outline the broad strokes of this new feature:
- Two presenters, no more: it is indeed about two simultaneous shares, which is already great.
- Full screen or window: each presenter will be able to share their entire screen or a single application window, as is already possible today.
- Simultaneous display for participants: both streams will be visible at the same time. However, Microsoft does not specify the chosen layout (side by side, stacked, resizable?).
- Teams Desktop and Teams Web: these are the only two platforms listed. Mobile apps and Teams Rooms are not mentioned.
The reason I’m telling you about this today is that the feature is coming soon: the Redmond-based company is announcing general availability in November 2026.
The remaining question is whether admins will have control over this new feature through Microsoft Teams policies. At this time, in meetings, the "Who can present" option determines which participants are allowed to share. It is likely that these settings will also apply to dual sharing, since only presenters are involved, but Microsoft has not confirmed this yet.
Were you eagerly waiting for this dual-sharing feature?
