Getting Started with MultiShare

Introduction

This quick-start guide will show you how to access, start, and stop MultiShare from within a Teams call.

MultiShare is an in-call app that enables multiple users to share their screen simultaneously during a Microsoft Teams call and provides all users in the call the ability to toggle between any shared screens as they please. All users can follow along without having to slow down a meeting or pass along screen sharing permissions one by one.

Accessing the MultiShare Sidebar in a Teams call

Start by joining a calendar meeting or set up an instant meeting.

Steps to install MultiShare to a Teams call:

1. In your active Teams call, click Apps from the top navigation menu.

2. Search for "MultiShare" and click on the app icon.
   

3. From the Welcome Modal, click Save.
   

4. The MultiShare sidebar will automatically open for you.
   

Starting MultiShare

1. When you're ready to share your screen, click Share screen.
   

2. Once you've initiated a MultiShare, a new screen will open for you either as a new window or a new browser tab.

3. Here you can select the display you would like to share.
   

4. Select the specific content you would like to share.
   

5. The pop out window will automatically change to let you know you are actively screen sharing in the Teams call. Please do not close this window.
   

6. In the Teams call, your screen is now being shared. Meeting attendees can view your screen and start screen sharing themselves using the same steps.
   

Stopping MultiShare

For general participants, there are several ways screensharing can be stopped.

• Closing the MultiShare tab where you selected your sharing options
• Depending on your sharing choice, you will be presented with ‘stop sharing’ buttons as a banner at the top of a browser window or as a pop up message in your Teams call window.

• If a participant leaves the meeting, their screenshare will immediately stop.

  If you were the person in the meeting who originally launched MultiShare, you will notice there is an additional ‘Stop Sharing’ button at the top of your Teams call window.
