Have you ever found yourself in a Microsoft Teams meeting, gritting your teeth every time someone says, “Next slide, please”?
You’re not alone.
If your business relies on Teams for online meetings or webinars, you’ve probably experienced those awkward moments when presenters have to ask someone else to advance the slides. It’s clunky, disruptive, and breaks the flow — especially when multiple people are involved.
But now, there’s a fix — and it’s a game-changer.
Microsoft has introduced a new feature in Teams that allows multiple people to control presentation slides during a meeting or webinar. This means co-presenters no longer have to rely on someone else to click through slides. Instead, each presenter can take control when it’s their turn — seamlessly and smoothly.
What’s the benefit?
Whether you’re hosting a sales pitch, training session, or team update, this small update makes a big difference in how professional and polished your presentations feel. No more interruptions. No more awkward transitions. Just better meetings.
Previously, only one person had control of the presentation, forcing everyone else to rely on verbal cues or chat messages to move slides forward. Now, the host can assign slide control to multiple presenters right from the meeting setup, making handovers effortless.
This update is rolling out first on the Windows desktop version of Teams, with other platforms expected to follow soon.
It might sound like a minor tweak, but in practice, it dramatically improves the flow of multi-presenter meetings.
And it’s not the only recent upgrade. Microsoft has also rolled out features like real-time messaging during calls, giving users more flexibility in how they communicate. Clearly, Microsoft is continuing to enhance Teams to meet the evolving needs of modern workplaces.
