Hi @Steven Ogburn,
Good day to you! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Teams meetings and I truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback.
To clarify, by design, Microsoft Teams currently only allows one participant to share their screen at a time during a meeting. While multiple users can take turns sharing, concurrent screen sharing isn’t supported. When a second participant begins sharing, it automatically stops the first person’s share.
Here is the current workaround if you want to share two separate screens at the same time:
1/ Use a Teams add-in: Frameable “MultiShare”
MultiShare is a third-party app available in the Microsoft AppSource that allows multiple participants to share their screens at the same time. Each attendee can choose which screen(s) to view, and the app handles the feeds without interrupting other presenters.
- Integrated directly into Teams, no need for external platforms
- Simple for end-users once installed, and enterprise-ready (passed Microsoft’s security review)
Notes:
- Requires admin approval to install; may involve licensing or trial limitations
- Works best with dual monitors users can view multiple shared screens side-by-side

2/ “Dual Meeting” workaround (two meetings in parallel)
This method involves running two Teams meetings at the same time. One presenter shares in the main meeting, and another shares in a secondary meeting. Participants join both meetings one via the Teams desktop app and the other via a browser to view both screens concurrently.
- No third-party tools required; uses only Teams and a browser
- Free and feasible even in restricted environments
Notes:
- Requires all participants to manage two meeting windows, which can be confusing
- Higher bandwidth and CPU usage; recordings and attendance are split
- Best suited for users with dual monitors or conference rooms with multiple displays
That said, I completely agree with your suggestion, it’s a great idea and would be incredibly useful, especially for setups with dual monitors or collaborative sessions that require comparing content in real time.
As a moderator, I don’t have direct influence over product development decisions. However, if you haven’t already, I highly recommend submitting your feedback through the Microsoft Feedback Hub. The Teams product team actively reviews user suggestions to help shape future updates and improve flexibility in meetings.
This is the best way to make your voice heard by the people who can actually make the change. Each submission is reviewed by Microsoft product team and helps inform priorities for upcoming updates.
Thanks again for being so clear and passionate in your message and if there’s anything else I can help with, just let me know. I’m happy to help.
Wishing you a great day ahead.
