When will Microsoft be adding the ability for me to Freeze my screen or Reshare different content without exiting screenshare? It is unprofessional and very disruptive to viewers when the screen stops sharing to switch from one type of content to another. Our company continues to use Zoom instead of Teams because of this inadequacy of Teams. Thank you.

    Currently, the context does not provide specific information regarding the addition of features like freezing the screen or resharing different content without exiting the screen share in Microsoft Teams. These functionalities may be considered in future updates, but there are no confirmed timelines or announcements available at this time.

    For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it is recommended to keep an eye on the official Microsoft Teams release notes or announcements from Microsoft regarding feature updates.

    Hi @CP 

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.    

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Microsoft Teams. We truly understand how important a smooth and professional screen-sharing experience is, especially during presentations and meetings. Your concern about the inability to freeze the screen or switch content without stopping the share is valid and reflects a common need among many users. 

    Currently, Teams does not offer a built-in “pause/freeze” feature or seamless content switching during screen sharing. We recognize that this can feel disruptive compared to other platforms like Zoom, and your feedback highlights an area where Teams can improve to better support professional workflows. 

    While I cannot provide an exact timeline for when this feature will be available, Microsoft actively reviews customer feedback to prioritize enhancements. I strongly encourage you to submit your suggestion through the Microsoft Teams Feedback Portal: 

    1/ Visit the Microsoft Feedback Portal:        

    2/ Upvote & collaborate:        

    Check existing suggestions and upvote similar ones. The more votes an idea gets, the higher its priority.

    Thank you again for your valuable feedback and for helping us improve Teams. We appreciate your partnership and look forward to making your meeting experience even better. 

    Wishing you a great day ahead.
