How to present your video and content side by side in a Microsoft Teams meeting

[@jumpto365]

If you want to know how to share PowerPoint slides and your video while being able to see presenter view on your side, watch part 2 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqCcl3ZrhsSci68

Thanks!

[@its_matt_long]

Why Teams hasn't enabled this within the App yet is insane! Thanks for this fantastically clear and cost effective solution!

[@LyleInUtah]

I'll be working with a half dozen instructors who will be teaching youth and adults remotely-- this will be something they will want to do, yet nothing that will exceed their comfort level. Thanks a million!

[@jumpto365]

Exactly what I was hoping for!

[@CollabMoore]

So simple yet flexible! You could use this for a huge amount of scenarios and get very creative! Great idea!

[@OrtoInScatola]

this is brilliant! you forgot to mention that you can drag the separating bar when you tile the windows to make yourself bigger or smaller as needed

[@felicetube]

Me, we, us is pure gold! Thanks for the video!

[@DanielWillen]

On MacOS (also windows probably) you could set up multiple desktops , for example that shares content from desktop and another for your presentation. Then you could just use keyboard shortcuts to jump back and forth. Also, remember that Teams can record the meeting, super useful.

[@bambijimenez12charm]

Your video helped me a lot. I'm going to apply it when I'm presenting.

[@ronmartin-haroldmbrathwait1075]

Thank you. I am a teacher and this will make my classes more effective!

[@nurserynook]

Thank you!! I have to admit the moment I hear that someone wants me to present in Teams I shudder. This at least fixes one of the MANY MANY issues teams has. Ta!

[@WillFindlay]

Awesome video. I had no idea Quicktime could preview the webcam! A lot simpler than using OBS!

[@seasandpearl3148]

This is amazing... thank you very much. Glad I found your video... Wonderful !!!

[@karkar2u997]

This is helpful. I plan to try it to status updates to the cross functional & global time zones teams. It’s hard to find a shared time for everyone & instead of a lengthy email with attachments - this will be easier for me & more engaging for the team.

[@Blogzer]

A tip that may, perhaps, be of help to others who generally swear at their computers and have to go outside and collect the pieces after having tossed the damned thing out the window. Again. I appreciate your vibe, Matt; what you say and how you say it. I appreciate, also, your differentiating the guidance for the masses from that for lovers of the arcane. Since watching your video yesterday for the first time, I learned one thing on the camera front (Lenovo 13s, Win 10): the stock camera app has a butt ugly, wide border which I couldn't seem to make any less conspicuous and the image is also not rendered very well, to my eye. On a lark, I downloaded OBS - because you "said" not to! - and to my (general) delight, I found that, without a lot of head-banging and no F-bombs at all, I could get an almost borderless selfie video window in play to set either side-by-side or screen-in-screen with a PP deck. With either OBS or the stock camera app, one still has to fiddle with (one at a time) access to the camera between Teams and Cam/OBS, however. Nonetheless, you present really useful and watchable tutorials. Thank you. PS. If you happen to have, at your fingertips, a link to a great cookbook for file-sharing/LAN connectivity between El Cap MacOS and Win 10, that would be amazing.

[@Dorene_Oster]

Very interesting with the whiteboard and your iPad. How does the iPad link to your whiteboard in the browser? Also, can you insert PDFs in the whiteboard and mark them up with the Apple Pencil?

[@craigalbert889]

Is there a recomendation for a good Windows 10 webcam app that has the controls hide like the Quicktime app shown in this demo? I could not find a way for the Windows camera app controls to turn off within the app to just show the camera feed.

[@maryeckert38]

i want to make a video of myself doing chair yoga to present in a smaller window inside a teams meeting while i do regular yoga live. should i make the chair video then save the video to my desktop? then i open the teams meeting then open the camera app, make the camera take up the whole screen, move teams away and then open the chair video up in the corner? then all i have to do is press start on the video? please advise. I LOVE THIS!!

[@RobinMarshall]

So simple yet so effective, great tip thanks

[@MikeHeller]

I like the option to have the video in the background with the content in a window over top (7:15), but I think the reverse would be even more useful. The content should be full screen with the presenter in a small window over the top (say lower right corner). The problem is you need focus on Powerpoint to advance slides, thus hiding the video. Is there a way to make the video 'always on top'?

[@klasewiberg]

Thank you! You are the best! Great tool.

[@emakant1982]

Hello, thanks for the ideas. I need help for something similar. I need to share a split screen for interviewing a person inside a Teams meeting. What do you suggest for doing such thing ? Thanks. Pablo

[@geekmeee]

What is your recommendation for learning the difference between the controls the host sees... And the placement of the controls of what the user sees? Maybe that’s an idea for a new tutorial? As a trainer, I am always training new users and describing to them the controls and placement of where to find icons. Win 10 devices to Win 10 devices; I am learning that the placement of controls appears to be different for a host, than the user. (At home, I use a Mac, and love it!)

My man, you nailed it. I wonder if there's any possibility you do the same thing using a windows version, just as you did, step by step, it would so cool. Thanks. 😇😇😇

Recent wide screen monitor having native application like LG OnScreen Control to split the screen. But i havent found the tutorial how to present half of the splitted screen using teams. So we dont need to hide our "secret window" at the second monitor. It placed side by side in single monitor in different splitted side but only half of the monitor to be screen shared by teams. Can you please create this kind of tutorial? Thanks.

That's awesome! How does this effect the recording in MS Teams? Will it be the same screen with all the customized windows?

[@motioninmind6015]

oh this is fantastic, thank you! Wish I'd seen it earlier. Question: I'm looking for a way to present information simultaneously to staff at multiple companies, but the companies should not see each other, because they're competitors. Is there any way at to do that through Teams? There would be no interaction or chatting etc., just linear flow of information from me to them. I've looked into browser-based live-streaming solutions but everything I've tested has latency issues.

[@jumpto365]

Live events in Teams is an anonymous watching experience, but has a 10-60 second delay.

[@jasonmamc6360]

The challenge with using the Windows camera app is that the controllers do not appear to hide like the mac used in this video. This might annoy some and not appear as clean. any recommendations on other windows app

[@jumpto365]

See the associated blog post (link in description). VLC Player may help. Even if it doesn't, you have to ask yourself: which is more important, a little annoying video chrome or not being able to present what you actually want to present? Sometimes you've just gotta settle for "good enough is good enough". 🙂

[@AmazingApplications]

More great tips. I love the newscaster style. Could I reverse the proportions so my content was featured in most of the screen and my video feed is in the corner? I'll have to try it out.

[@jumpto365]

You can if the camera app you use has an option to always stay on top. QuickTime does. VLC Player does too. I’m not sure if the Windows camera does.

[@user-gh2lf1zw3r]

Do you know how I can have my PowerPoint presentation on one side and in the other side, the people can see me and I can see the other people?

Yes! Check out this video and remember to keep the meeting window open on the screen you're not sharing (you might need to Alt+Tab between PowerPoint and the other apps): kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4qzlJSmmadgrtk

[@annicalof5395]

[@kellyostroski3417]

Silly question - is there anyway to do this feature in Teams if you are the "producer" (person sharing their screen for the ppt presentation) but have another person on video speaking to the content?

[@jumpto365]

Not as cleanly, no. But you could pin the person in the Teams meeting so that person is the one showing up as biggest, then put the Teams window next to the content (slides, etc.) and share that way. The video *might* be a tad delayed behind the audio, though, since the video would be going to you then re-shared from your screen to the rest of the attendees (whereas the audio goes straight to everyone immediately). You'd still see all the buttons on the Teams window, but it might help out in this situation. Interesting question!

[@dansiska8807]

I'm getting a horrible lag on my video doing this. It's like its dropping frames. Is there a way to fix that?

[@marcin-szelag]

The biggest downside is in my opinion the fact that the real content appears small. People on smaller screens would have hard time to read fonts, etc. It would be better to have bigger content and camera feed stacked over. But for this you would need OBS, for instance.

[@BellaKarim23]

Would this work to show a second content instead of video feed

[@judyrafat]

Does it have to be with a Microsoft Team?

[@pamfaggart]

Neat. We are switching to teams from another video conferencing app. And have been using two or more meetings at once so multiple people can share screens at the same time, with the audio connected to only one meeting. It seems that we can do this in teams if we start the additional meetings using the online app, so we loose some of the functionality of the teams app in the other meetings. Any tips for multiple people sharing screens at the same time in a teams meeting?

[@jumpto365]

Not sure how you would do that, tbh. Sorry.

[@chrismoodyhair]

[@martahawkins]

Can I apply the same method to Google Meet?

[@jennilainemax]

Awesome feature. When you're using this... do you also keep your video feed on within the Teams meeting? Or only through QuickTime?

[@jumpto365]

On Mac you can do both! It's up to you whether you want it to continue going through Teams (could be a distraction or confuse people to bring your face up full and ignore your screen share). Note that on Windows, Teams hogs the camera feed so you can't show it on both. You actually must turn off video in Teams before opening a webcam app.

[@jennilainemax]

@@jumpto365 Perfect explanation. Thank you!

[@sander_bouwhuis]

It's not really a solution having anything to do with Microsoft Teams. I was hoping for an actual picture-in-picture mode. But, doesn't Teams take exclusive control over my camera when I'm in a meeting? As long as my camera app indeed still continues to show the video while I'm hosting a Teams presentation, I'm happy.

[@JimKunzPhD]

Does this also work with presenter view? I know in your other video you recommend using just one monitor when doing presenter view (which is a great idea) but I guess you can't do that and share your screen? Thanks!

[@jumpto365]

I haven’t figured out a way to get presenter view and share your face. Might be able to do split screen between PowerPoint and QuickTime on Mac, but I’d have to test (I’m thinking it’s unlikely). Chances are you’re on Windows, though, and I don’t have a way to try that out. Since this split screen is not exactly “an intended use of the software”, it’s also really unlikely MS would ever update the app to make this easier or work better.

[@christopherkipp321]

Thanks for the help! How do we get the benefits of this and still be able to use presenter mode so we can see notes and what slide is coming next?

Did some digging among some PowerPoint experts at Microsoft and the PowerPoint gurus in the world. Seems you can't get both. Either you get side by side video/slides with no presenter view or you get presenter view but no video feed. 😕 Fingers crossed at Microsoft Ignite (22-24 September conference) Teams will announce some upcoming configuration/features for showing both... maybe. I'm gonna keep thinking on this though. 🤔

That’s a good point. Export your slides to PDF and skip PowerPoint all together. I’m a fan of transitions and animations (when used correctly), so it’s not a solution I’d use personally, which is likely why I totally skipped over the idea!

I found you have to have the video on teams off in order to use the camera app on the same computer

[@jumpto365]

Good to know that might be the case sometimes. I noticed my video didn't go through Teams at all, even if it was enabled. Looked like the camera app took precedence on the feed. Tested it on Windows too and did the same thing. I guess others' mileage may vary.

[@beatrizyarrish6867]

Sadly, as an educator this did not work. It took to much time to flip between the media player camera and Teams camera since both do not work at the same time :(

[@jumpto365]

@@beatrizyarrish6867 yeah, as with many features on apps like this, it comes down to what your priorities are. If you value face with content most, you'll have to accept the few seconds time delay to switch between enabling your webcam with the camera app or Teams. This also seems to be device-specific, so a different computer may prevent the issue.

Since with the new meeting experience, a new window pops up for the call/meeting, you should be able to do it. you just need to go to the corner to resize it. If you are using windows, you can bring the focus on the meeting window and then press (Windows + Right/left arrow key ), to bring the window to right half or the left half respectively.
