Since Teams is slowly acquiring the Skype for Business software, can anyone tell me if Teams is able to control a remote computer, and if not, is it a future addition? This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. Oct 31, 2019 To do this, the best way is to use screenshots. Taking a photo on your phone and using that is not the best experience. A nicer way is to remote into the device and take screenshots with your favourite tool to take it. However, on the Microsoft Teams Room system, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is disabled by default (for security). When a guest or external user joins a teams meeting using browser, there is no prompt to sign in as no prompt for user and password. However when the same user uses a Teams Client, user is prompted for a work, school or Microsoft Account for example when using outlook / gmail accounts etc.
-->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:
- Anonymous user
- Guest users
- B2B user
- Federated user
In the Microsoft Teams admin center
Select Meetings > Meeting policies.
On the Meeting policies page, select Add.

Note
You don't have to enable the calling policy in order for users to use screen share from chat. However, their audio is turned off until they unmute themselves. In addition, the user sharing the screen can click Add Audio to enable audio. If the calling policy is disabled, users won't be able to add audio to the screen share from a chat session.
Turn the following settings on or off:
- Allow a participant to give or request control – lets members of the team give or request control of the presenter's desktop or application.
- Allow an external participant to give or request control – This is a per-user policy. Whether an organization has this set for a user doesn't control what external participants can do, regardless of what the meeting organizer has set. This parameter controls whether external participants can be given control or request control of the sharer's screen, depending on what the sharer has set within their organization's meeting policies.
- Allow PowerPoint sharing - lets users create meetings that allow PowerPoint presentations to be uploaded and shared.
- Allow whiteboard – lets users share a whiteboard.
- Allow shared notes – lets users take shared notes.

Remote Control Microsoft Teams
-->Symptoms
Microsoft Teams - Can't Allow Remote Control On Mac ..
You share a screen with another user on the Microsoft Teams desktop client, and the other user requests control of your screen. In this situation, you see the user's request on the Sharing toolbar. However, you do not see an option to approve or deny the request. Even the Give Control drop-down menu doesn't react when you try to open it.
Cause
This issue occurs because the device that you are using doesn't have a graphics processing unit (GPU) installed, or GPU hardware acceleration is disabled. The Give Control drop-down menu doesn't work unless hardware acceleration is supported on the system. This behavior is by design.
Resolution
To prevent this behavior, make sure that your system supports hardware acceleration. To verify the same, you can browse chrome://gpu/ in Google Chrome. If you can see any value in it stating 'Software only' or 'hardware acceleration unavailable', that means the system does not support it. For more help, we recommend that you contact your hardware provider.
