How to Share Screen on Microsoft Teams
Use your mobile phone as a companion device in a meeting
Join a meeting on more than one device for more collaboration and content-sharing options.
If you’re already in a meeting on your laptop, for example, you can add your mobile phone as a companion device to present files, share live video, and much more. Any device with the Teams mobile app can be added as a companion device—just make sure the devices you’re using are signed in to the same Teams account.
There’s a lot you can do when you add a companion device to your meeting experience:
- Use mobile phone video to show things that are out of view for remote participants.
- Take a photo to share with everyone, or pick one from your camera gallery.
- Use your mobile phone to control a presentation.
- Share your mobile phone screen.
- If you can see it on your mobile phone, you can share it in the meeting!
Tip: For more details, see Join a Teams meeting on a second device.
Add a companion device to a meeting
- Open Teams on your mobile phone when you’re already in a meeting on another device.
- You’ll see a message near the top of your screen informing you that you’re currently in a meeting on another device, and asking if you want to join it on this one, too. Tap Join.
- You’ll then see two options: Add this device, and Transfer to this device. Tap Add this device.
If you join this way, your companion device’s mic and speaker will be muted to avoid causing an echo effect.
When you’re ready to share something from the companion device, tap Start presenting at the bottom of the screen. On your other device, you’ll be able to see what you’re sharing, just like everyone else in the meeting.
When you’re finished, tap Stop presenting, or simply hang up. Your other device will still be connected to the meeting.
