Does the phrase "next slide please" send shivers down your spine? Do your meetings often start with a few minutes of trying to share your presentation? When you share your slides, do you struggle to see raised hands or engage with the chat? If so, then this session is for you! Over the last few years, Microsoft have released tonnes of great meetings features which can really help you up your game when presenting in Teams calls and meetings. In this session, I'll walk you through all the different ways that you can present, we'll go through the pros, cons and gotchas for each, and I'll show you what both the presenter experience and the attendee experience look like. Once you leave this session, you'll have all the knowledge and skills you need to be a superstar at presenting in Teams. What we'll cover: Basics of presenting in Teams Presenting using PowerPoint Live in Teams Dynamic presenter views Using Copilot in Teams to power your meetings Additional tips and tricks for Teams and PowerPoint

Note to event organizers

people still don't know how to present properly in Teams! this is a popular session that I update periodically with new meeting features, and still needed due to people not actually knowing how to use Teams properly
