After rolling out a dedicated mute button in the taskbar for Teams calls last week, Microsoft has improved the screen sharing experience in the latest Windows 11 Insider build. With Windows 11 Insider preview build 22499 that’s currently rolling out in the Dev channel, Microsoft has made it possible to quickly share content from open app windows to the meeting from your taskbar.
Here’s how it works: When you hover over the app preview in the taskbar, you will see a new ‘Share this window’ button. Once you have completed your presentation, you can choose to click on the ‘Stop Sharing’ button from the taskbar app preview to stop the screen-sharing session. You will also have the option to switch to another open window by clicking on the ‘Share this window’ button on its taskbar preview.
