M365 Changelog: Microsoft Teams: Draggable Presenter Toolbar when screensharing

MC791109 – Introducing a new draggable version of the Presenter Toolbar in Microsoft Teams that gives presenters more control over the shared screen space. Presenters can customize the location of the Presenter Toolbar based on the layout of the content being shared.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 394270

When this will happen:

Targeted Release: Microsoft will begin rolling out early June 2024 and expects to complete by mid-June 2024.

General Availability (Worldwide): Microsoft will begin rolling out mid-June 2024 and expects to complete by late June 2024.

General Availability (GCC, GCC High, DoD): Microsoft will begin rolling out mid-July 2024 and expects to complete by late July 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

When sharing content during a meeting, presenters can reposition the Presenter Toolbar from its default location at the top of the screen to any other area of the shared screen by moving it to the preferred position. The Presenter Toolbar can be dragged from any non-interactive area as well as from a new drag handle.

Also, the Presenter Toolbar will use minimum space by collapsing when not in use after a timeout of 4 seconds. When collapsed, a red badge showing the sharing status will still be visible to clearly indicate the ongoing sharing session.

What you need to do to prepare:

No action is needed to prepare for this change. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
