Have you ever found yourself grumbling every time someone suggested "next slide, please?" in a Team Meeting?

As someone who hosts online meetings and webinars for business purposes, I know the difficulty associated with abrupt handovers or awkward pauses between presenters can be deeply frustrating.

There's been some good news. And it is long overdue.

Microsoft Teams is receiving an update that promises to transform how meetings are run.

Let's begin at the basics for those unfamiliar with Microsoft Teams: Microsoft Teams is a communication platform that unifies all features needed to collaborate, such as video calls, chats, file sharing and collaboration tools into one cohesive experience.

Your team needs tools and techniques that enable them to remain productive and connected no matter if they are all together in one location, scattered or hybrid.

Microsoft Update is back, with an exciting new feature allowing multiple people to collaborate and control slideshow presentations during a Teams Meeting or Webinar.

Have you ever co-presented in Teams before?

If so, then you know that one person controls the slides; their presenter is often the only one capable of progressing things forward - an inconvenience which disrupts meeting momentum and can also become tedious after awhile.

Now, the meeting host can hand control of slides to multiple attendees at once.

When multiple people present portions of a deck simultaneously, each can take over when it's their turn - this way avoiding having to stop meetings in order to give instructions. While it may seem minor, doing this will help make meetings more professional and natural.

The Windows desktop version Team has already begun implementing this feature. A meeting host may select co-presenters during meeting setup. In essence, everything should be as seamless as your presentations!

This update should have come sooner, but better late than never!

Microsoft is committed to making Teams more intuitive and accessible.
