Making Microsoft Teams meetings more engaging

Mobile Sharing and Companion Experiences

Video meetings traditionally limit each person to one device, hindering the ways that people can participate, share, and interact. Microsoft Teams empowers users to achieve more by using their computer and phone together as companions in video meetings to present live mobile video, present photos you take or from in your camera roll, present your mobile screen, remote control PowerPoint, and even seamlessly move your meeting between devices.

These features are being released for Microsoft Teams on desktop, web, iOS, and Android over the course of 2018. Your access to features may vary during the release period.

Companion Experiences for Microsoft Teams meetings were a collaboration between Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Research Cambridge UK. The features developed from a Hackathon project featured in the 2018 Garage Wall of Fame.
