Desktop sharing lets users present a screen or app during a meeting or chat. Admins can configure screen sharing in Microsoft Teams to let users share an entire screen, an app, or a file. You can let users give or request control, allow PowerPoint sharing, add a whiteboard, and allow shared notes. You can also configure whether anonymous or external users can request control of the shared screen. External participants in Teams meetings can be categorized as follows:

• Guest users
• B2B user
• Federated user
