Screen Sharing within a Teams Meeting

[NocturnalDC]

Is there a way to change it so that when we screen share in a Teams meeting within a Zoom Room that we can have 1 screen show the active speaker and the other screen show the shared content as opposed to both screens showing the shared content?

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be possible.

When joining a Teams meeting in a Zoom Room, it seems that you are joining in the browser version of Teams, which does not support a two-screen display.

Hi Nockturnal,

Yes, in a Zoom Room setup joined to a Microsoft Teams meeting, the default behavior often mirrors shared content on both screens, but this can sometimes be adjusted in the Zoom Room controller settings. Look for display configuration options under Meeting Settings or Screen Layout—if dual monitor mode is enabled, you may be able to set one screen to prioritize active speaker view while the other displays shared content, though support can vary depending on the Teams integration method and version.

Thanks jhonmu689 - Could you expand on the "Teams integration method and version"?

@NocturnalDC , this is the official answer, for now:

 Screen sharing to a Microsoft Teams meeting requires access to the Microsoft Teams client. No wireless or wired HDMI screen sharing is available through the Zoom Room while joined to a Microsoft Teams call using the Microsoft Teams web client. Do not connect devices (e.g. a laptop) to the wired HDMI input of a Zoom Room before or during a Microsoft Teams call using the Microsoft Teams web client - it may lead to unpredictable results.

The short answer is no, although you can go around this by using an MS Teams Client.

There is at least one 3rd party integration that I am aware that does allow 2 screens and content sharing, which is through Pexip: https://www.pexip.com/contact/what-is-connect-for-zoom-rooms

Hope this helps.
