Hello Office Insiders, I’m Lishan Yu, a program manager on the PowerPoint team. You might have heard that we announced the PowerPoint Live in Teams feature at Microsoft Ignite last month. Today, I’m excited to show you how to check out this new experience, and start presenting in Teams meetings from PowerPoint.

Presenting in Teams meetings

Presenting in a meeting used to be as simple as clicking Slide Show in your PowerPoint deck. Nowadays, even though you may not be in the same room as your audience, we believe your flow to present should be as easy and intuitive – clicking the Present in Teams button in PowerPoint is the only step you need to take to present the deck in your Teams meeting!

How it works

Give the feature a try next time you need to present in a Teams meetings:

• Join a Teams meeting or an ad-hoc Teams call.
• Open your presentation in PowerPoint for Windows.
• Click the Present in Teams button in the top right corner.

Scenarios to try

Ready to take the PowerPoint Live feature for a spin? Try some of the scenarios below.

As a presenter :

• After clicking the Present in Teams button in PowerPoint, notice that you can see both the chat and your content at the same time in Teams (and don’t feel like you’re missing out on the discussion).
• Take advantage of features like grid review and slide notes to present more effectively.

As an audience member :

• If you joined late, move back through the deck and quickly catch up without having to ask the presenter to stop and recap what was already shared.
• Interact with and experience the richness of the content being presented such as better video quality, live web links, and more.
• Make any adjustments you need to more fully enjoy the presentation (i.e., use high-contrast mode).

Requirements

In order to try out the feature, you will need to:

• Have the latest Teams desktop app installed.
• Store the presentation on OneDrive for Business or SharePoint.
• Join a Teams meeting before clicking the Present in Teams button in PowerPoint for Windows.
• Be using an Office 365 E3/A3, Office 365 E5/A5, or Microsoft 365 for Government license. 

Availability

This feature is rolling out over the next several days to Insiders running Beta Channel Version 2104 (Build 13926.20000) and later.

We’d love your feedback, so please let us know how you think. To get in touch, do either of the following:

• Inside the app, select the Help button in the top-right corner of the app.
• Respond to this post or tweet at @OfficeInsider .

Learn what  other information you should include in your feedback  to ensure it’s actionable and reaches the right people. We’re excited to hear from you!

The Ultimate How To Guide for Presenting Content in Microsoft Teams

Sharing / presenting content in Teams meeting is at the same time simple but is also has some options available that may not be known enough by everyone. This guide lets you get started and dive deeper what happens when you share your window, document or desktop in Microsoft Teams.

This article will be updated when there are new features or based on feedback.

Updated 22.3.2021 Presenter View section.

Community: I am happy to add Mac and iOS screenshots into the article as well if someone is willing to collaborate & provide them. 😎💪

Teams Desktop: sharing a screen (Windows)

Opening the sharing with Microsoft Teams Desktop (in the New Meeting experience mode).

This opens the Share Tray. From it you can choose to start sharing

• Your Desktop (Screen share)
• Specific application (Window)
• Whiteboard application: either Microsoft Whiteboard (natively with Microsoft 365) or available 3rd party Whiteboards
• PowerPoint document

TIP: When you choose to share something using Teams Desktop you can choose to include your computer sounds to meeting. This is a must-have option if you are playing music or video to your participants. You can not toggle this on later – you need to choose this when you start sharing.

When you choose to include computer sound included with the sharing you need to have configured the speaker for computer and Teams meeting to be the same one.

If you have multiple monitors available for your Microsoft Teams you can choose any of those displays.

And you have the sharing open. Shared area is marked with red rectangle around it. You will find the more smaller Teams meeting control window in one of your desktops – and if you have the camera on it will show the video.

But more importantly you can use that small window to control camera, audio or sharing (ending it with one press). Or you can click on the small window (not on meeting toolbar) and it will expand back to the full size.

You can use that same icon to stop sharing in the expanded window.

Tip: If you have two screens available you should consider presenting your PowerPoint presentation so that you share the external screen and project your presentation there (PowerPoint – Slide Show – Monitor). Share that external screen to Teams meeting so you can be sure that whatever you show in that screen it is shown to attendees. Just check that your second screen is not a ultra-wide display or 8k (or preferably even 4k) because the content is going to be tough to read and view by attendees. FullHD screen works the best here.

Tip2: when you are presenting PowerPoint in external screen (and sharing that to Teams meeting) do they advantage of inking and pen if you are using a device with touch screen (like Surface)!

Tip3: if you have an embedded video in your PowerPoint and you use screen/display sharing to present it to the audience: Don’t forget include computer sound with your share!

Teams Desktop: sharing a PowerPoint

You can choose from your recent PowerPoint documents in the list

• A PowerPoint document you opened or edited in Microsoft Teams (in a team you belong to) or in your OneDrive
• Browse for more

This list of sharing PowerPoints is causing often some big questions. PowerPoints will appear in the list once you edit or open the PowerPoint presentation in Teams or OneDrive (there may be some short delay). Generally it applies to the next meeting you join. Make sure you prepare for the meeting by opening the document in advance. Simply uploading a presentation to OneDrive or Teams does not bring it to the list – you need to open/edit it as well.

Browse-option lets you choose a PowerPoint from your OneDrive or from your computer.

What this one lacks is the ability to choose a file from a team you belong to.

TIP: Use OneDrive syncing to have an easy access to files in the most relevant teams you belong to .

Once you are sharing the PowerPoint you can see it in the presenter view mode! This feature is generally available ! This makes it easy to do presentations using Teams – without having to have a PowerPoint desktop app open at the same time. Seems to work only on Teams Desktop with new meeting experience mode at the moment.

The presented area (PowerPoint) is shown surrounded with a red rectangle.

Updated 22.3.2021. There are other controls in this as well for jumping between slides and accessibility controls.

I have a another article diving deeper to Presenter view in here !

NEW: PowerPoint Live has now laser pointer and inking capabilities. Read about them here !

Once the presentation is shared you can move back and forth easily with arrows in the screen.

Note: there is the “eye” icon. If you press that one it locks the PowerPoint for the participants so that they see the same slide as you do: they can not browse the deck on their own. This is called private viewing disable (arrows for other participants will be disabled). Private viewing is enabled on default.

Note: if you are a presenter in the meeting where a PowerPoint is shared to you can take control of the shared PowerPoint to advance slides. This does not ask for any confirmation and the feature is really useful when you have multiple presenters who use the same slide deck. Just be careful that everyone else are not presenters – or they know not to touch it.

You will get a warning that someone has taken the control and can easily take it back.

Whoever is in control of the presentation has also the control to disable/enable private viewing mode. As can be seen in the picture above (with Take control) the eye is missing and arrows are greyed out: this means someone else than you have the control and they have disable the private viewing.

Note: When you share PowerPoint to a meeting this way participants can click links you have in your presentation. Thank you Joe for this reminder!

If you add a online video to your presentation your participants can activate that on their own as well. It is good also to note that if you hit “play” it doesn’t reflect to attendees (=they need to play the video themselves)

Teams Desktop: sharing a Whiteboard

When you choose Microsoft Whiteboard from the Share Tray you are taken directly to the Whiteboard view. Everyone who is in the same organization as you are (the situation in January 2021) can co-author the Whiteboard with you. Once you are done you can Stop presenting (middle top screen) or share something else.

Teams web client: sharing a screen (Microsoft Edge)

Sharing looks a bit different when you are using Teams web client. Sharing is available in (new) Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome browsers. The toolbar is hovering on top of the meeting. From the toolbar you can open the share tray.

When you have the share tray open you can choose to share something of following

• Desktop (Screenshare)
• A specific PowerPoint document
• Whiteboard: either Microsoft Whiteboard or Freehand (3rd party).

• Entire screen
• Application window (a specific application only)
• With Microsoft Edge you have option to choose a selected, specific, tab

When(if) you have multiple monitors it is easiest to just share a one of them: it makes the sharing really simple and easy to manage: anything on that display is shared.

If you don’t have multiple monitors then you might want to just share a single application.

This is useful when you want to show something specific that runs in it’s own application but you can not share anything else on your screen.

Note: Teams is not in the list (not even on blurred ones) and nor is Spotify or ToDo. Not every application can be shared with this.

Note2: you can not share desktop audio to the meeting using Teams web client.

And the last option is to share a selected Edge tab – and if you have multiple Edge profiles open you can share from any of those by clicking the desired Edge active and choosing the tab.

In my example I chose to share one of my screens. You don’t get much feedback – you just click on the screen and hit Share. In one of your screens you will have this toolbar:

You can end sharing using either that toolbar or you can navigate to your web Teams meeting and choose Stop sharing from the toolbar there.

Teams web client: sharing a PowerPoint

This list of sharing PowerPoints is causing often some big questions. PowerPoint presentations will be in the list once you edit or open the PowerPoint presentation in Teams or OneDrive (there may be some short delay). Generally it applies to the next meeting you join. Make sure you prepare for the meeting by opening the document in advance. Simply uploading a presentation to OneDrive or Teams does not bring it to the list – you need to open/edit it as well.

Note: there is the “eye” icon. If you press that one it locks the PowerPoint for the participants so that they see the same slide as you do: they can not browse the deck on their own. This is called private viewing disable. Private viewing is enabled on default.

Whoever is in control of the presentation has also the control to disable/enable private viewing mode.

Teams web client: sharing a Whiteboard

Sharing a Whiteboard is initiated simply by choosing Microsoft Whiteboard (or Freehand or other available 3rd party application) from the share tray.

I have found out that sometimes when you start sharing Microsoft Whiteboard to the meeting using Teams web client it doesn’t do anything. The solution is to try again.

Once the Whiteboard opens you can work on it normally – or choose to open it in the Whiteboard app to have a broader set of tools available.

When you are done you can choose the “Stop presenting” that is hovering on the left bottom area (left of meeting toolbar).

Teams mobile: sharing a screen

Were you aware that you can also share content using your mobile device? I have examples and screenshots using a Android device but these also work with iOS – the user interface might be slightly different.

You initiate the sharing via … menu selection in the mobile to open the list of options

You choose Share and you get to choose what to share

Yes – you can share your mobile device screen to the meeting. This is really useful if you have a application you want to show or train to others.

You may have to adjust settings to turn on allowing Teams to display over other apps.

After that one you may have reshare the screen. And you get the next warning.

And your screen is now shared. You can see the red block that lets you know what are of your mobile device screen has been shared.

And if you pull down notifications area you have option to return to Teams meeting (if you have been using some other app) and there is also the notification that you are sharing your screen.

When you are done sharing you can return to Teams meeting and then choose to Stop presenting.

Teams mobile: sharing a PowerPoint

Sharing a PowerPoint works really well on Teams mobile! It is in fact even better than the version in other clients.

You start by imitating the sharing (as with screen share) and choosing the PowerPoint instead. You get a screen:

From this screen you can choose to browser thought

• A PowerPoint presentation from any Team and channel you belong to!
• Choose a PowerPoint presentation you opened or edited most recently (as you notice compared to other examples that this isn’t 1:1 in sync.. There are differences so that is why I am really happy that you can browse through Teams for sharing)

Once you have selected the PowerPoint to present it is very straight forward from that moment.

Using Teams mobile you can also take control of a PowerPoint someone else is presenting (if you are a presenter in the meeting). This means that you can participate in a multi-presenter meeting quite easily by using just your mobile device and Teams!

You will get a warning before you take the control – in case you pressed Take Control accidentally.

Teams mobile: sharing a photo or video

Follow the steps laid out earlier and instead of screen or PowerPoint you select this time a picture (from device’s picture gallery) or a video (using device’s video camera). Since sharing a picture is very straight forward I use the video instead as example.

You get to see a preview of video first. You can switch to other camera (front/back usually) & position the device properly and once you are ready you just hit Start presenting .

And when you are done you can press on “Stop presenting” to end your video feed.

This video is different from showing your own video using Camera icon the meeting toolbar. Instead of being a attendee video this one is shown in the shared area for every participant in the meeting. This is useful when you have something in the same room/space that you want to share to others in the meeting. Possible use cases: a model on table, physical whiteboard, view from the window, interviewing someone, view in the outside, …

Best practices from my experience

The way I use to share content when in Microsoft Teams meetings is

• I share one of my screens (I have three screens so this is a natural choice for me). This way I know what is being shared all the time since I always share the same screen (the one in the middle, my camera is on top of that screen). Be careful what you drag to the shared screen. This is the way I share my PowerPoint presentations (projecting the presentation to the shared screen)
• If you have a touch-screen device (like Surface-laptop) you should use pen/inking to enhance the presentation experience. This also works when you are sharing the external screen & presenting from touch-screen device: make your presentation stand out!
• Prepare the content you share in advance. Open PowerPoints, apps, browsers etc so you don’t have to spend any time with them when you are live.
• Share your screen early rather than later. This will give you time to reshare.
• When doing a presentation with multiple persons using just the PowerPoint deck share it directly to Teams meeting so you can switch between speakers easily. With the new Presenter view -support this is now a good option.
• Make use of Teams features: Put everyone but real presenters else as attendee so they can’t start sharing their screen accidentally – and you can hard mute them as well. Use meeting options -setting before they join in.
• When people complain they don’t see the share: check that you are actually sharing your screen. If someone is seeing your share and some others not: those who can’t see your share need to leave and rejoin the meeting. Sometimes restarting your sharing can fix that issue too but usually the issue is in the participant end.
• I rarely use application / window -sharing.
• Sharing a video in Teams meeting (or in Live event) is usually ok but you can expect some quality drop – especially if you have a lower bandwidth. Have a backup link to the video available. People seem to struggle more with videos embedded inside a PowerPoint.
• Use Windows Focus Assist and Teams Do Not Disturb mode so you don’t get any unwanted popups on your shared screen. Microsoft Teams will also have a upcoming feature (currently usable in public preview) that let’s users to choose if Teams notifications do their own “toast” (pop-up banner) or do they go directly to Windows notification area (honoring the Focust Assist setting).
• Use Teams Desktop version + new meeting experience when possible. Check that you have the latest version.

Cameo for PowerPoint and Microsoft Teams

Taking storytelling to the next level by inserting your live camera feed directly into your powerpoint story.

"Favorite PowerPoint feature from the last year. I think it’s a great demonstration of how the PowerPoint team is continuing to push this 35-year-old piece of software to be more useful for everyone." – Richard Goring, Director, BrightCarbon

About Cameo for PowerPoint and Microsoft Teams

Put your live camera feed into your PowerPoint deck with Cameo. Use with Recording Studio to make more inviting recorded presentations. Apply all the same transitions and effects you can to an image or shape.

Cameo is a cross-platform feature that seamlessly integrates into any video conferencing application, available in Win32, Mac, iOS and Web. It supports virtual cameras (IP camera), webcams, and production quality or DSLR cameras. While presenting in a Microsoft Teams meeting, Cameo supports the ability to use your Microsoft Teams avatar instead of your camera feed.

With hybrid work, it became clear that finding ways to make presentations more engaging and interactive for a remote audience was needed, and part of that was enabling live video feeds into presentations. Using hackathons, the Office and PowerPoint team were able to move the idea forward. “When the pandemic hit, we knew we had to start redefining remote presentations. We were able to build on the progress made in hackathons to create Cameo,” said Shawn Villaron, VP of PowerPoint. Adding to the suite of existing powerful features like PowerPoint Recording Studio and PowerPoint Designer, Cameo was released in 2022 to bring presenters and their stories closer together.

Cameo originally began as a project from the 2019 Microsoft Global Hackathon. The Hackathon is a unique event for all Microsoft employees to turn their own ideas into proof-of-concepts. Projects range from hobby or passion projects to things related to existing services or products, the latter being the case for Cameron Kikoen, Lishan Yu, and Alexandre Gueniot who are part of the PowerPoint engineering team. It all started when Alex, Cameron, and Lishan were having lunch in the cafeteria before the 2019 Hackathon week, chatting about signature scenes and catchphrases in movies. As the experts in PowerPoint slide show rendering, they got excited about a hack idea: place a live camera feed into adventurous scenes created by PowerPoint slides, to enable the presenter to perform live acting right in slide show. Cameron said “it’s like we are making a cameo in our own presentation — wait…” and that’s when the project was officially born! The team then implemented the hack, and created several examples of how Cameo can shine in business and education scenarios.

The original Hackathon project members continued the project in the 2020 Hackathon, recruiting more members to the project and adding capabilities to the cameo prototype. This time, they focused on stitching a live presenter’s video feed into a PowerPoint presentation in a Microsoft Teams meeting. This integration with Microsoft Teams meant presenters could now make their camera more prominent or blend better in their slide content. They also explored support for multiple presenters’ cameras in the same presentation and tensor flow background removal.

Next was the Experiences & Devices division-wide hackathon in 2021, where they hacked on how to bring Cameo to the PowerPoint Desktop application. They prototyped the ability to insert a live camera feed object in a presentation, and just like any insertable shape, the Cameo camera object could be moved, cropped, and morphed anywhere on the slide. They built a variety of options to blur, remove, change background or apply animation and video effects to the video feed. A whole range of avatar animations was also cleverly showcased to capture audience attention.

The Hackathon projects were compelling enough to launch Cameo from hack project to an official feature that prompted an entire product team to finish building it, bringing it to every Office user in 2022 at production quality.

“This was an exciting project to bring to our customers, that involved solving complex technical challenges across various platforms and environments. It was awesome to see the entire project team adopt and utilize the feature in our own meetings throughout the entire development phase, which really drove home to everyone the impact of this PowerPoint feature!” – Dave McDonald, Principal Software Engineering Manager.

The journey of converting a prototype in 2019 to shipping a polished, multi-platform experience in 2022 in the top presentation software in the industry involved many people. The PowerPoint team came with the need to look at the solution holistically from multiple aspects. Rolly Seth, Senior Product Manager, took the lead in productization of this product capability. The vision was to help PowerPoint users create immersive yet highly accessible stories by integrating their live camera feed in the slides. Anything a picture can do in PowerPoint, camera should be able to do the same with the same ease of access, configurability, and super low learning curve. Additional engineers led by Dave McDonald were hired to take up this challenge, along with Stephanie Horn further helping from product management and Mike Gilmore from the design side.

Bringing Cameo to PowerPoint Live in Microsoft Teams was a joint effort between the Office Video team, PowerPoint, and Microsoft Teams, with several groups helping to prototype, implement, and productize the feature in Microsoft Teams: The Video Extensibility Team in China, the Edge, Slimcore and Electron Teams in Redmond, each played key roles in finding solutions to many technically challenging problems along the journey. “The engineers and PMs from these teams set a great example for cross geo collaboration to execute this distributed project in an efficient manner,” said Rajat Chamria, Principal Software Engineer.

This product was novel and a differentiator in various aspects. In addition to cross platform support, namely desktop and Mac, Cameo needed to seamlessly work across both PowerPoint and Microsoft Teams natively. Alongside live meeting support, async video recording support was also needed. Overall, the product needed to be hybrid-first focused. As the PM driver for PowerPoint Cameo, Rolly worked with global, multi-disciplinary teams to make the vision a reality.

Currently millions of PowerPoint users have integrated PowerPoint Cameo in their presentations and is being used with a diverse set of users such as individuals with accessibility needs – Using Cameo with Recording Studio for Microsoft Teams .

Versatile, powerful, and easy to use, PowerPoint Cameo infuses energy and interactivity to slides for a variety of audiences and scenarios, from creating comics, to visual storytelling, school reports and assignments, and presentations in the hybrid workspace, for consumers, students, educators, and professionals everywhere.

Professional presenting in Teams with no additional skills or software

Today we’re going to cover a little workaround—this probably qualifies as a life hack, actually—for presenting both your face and shared content—like a slideshow, your browser, a file—at the same time during a Microsoft Teams meeting. Basically, you can present like a newscaster in a meeting and it requires no additional software or skills to do it. It can really amp up your presentation, class, meeting, whatever.

For a video version of this post, press play below. You probably want to watch the video. I go through a bunch of demos on how to actually do this and discuss a bunch of the nuances to maximize the professional look, which may help make it all make more sense.

Microsoft Teams has announced some major changes and improvements when it comes to how people’s faces and content displays during meetings, but there’s still a big need—at least in my opinion—for sharing your face with content in a configurable side-by-side way (and there will remain that need even with the announced updates). Think of a newscaster with a graphic above their shoulder or a gamer live-streaming their play with their face in the corner.

I see this having a big impact on meetings where there is one or only a few main presenters, not really for meetings where many people discuss or brainstorm back and forth. It’s also fantastic if you’re a teacher presenting slides or a white board in your browser and you want to show your face to keep students more engaged.

You can even use this in a Teams live event if you want. It works better than the built-in side-by-side content and video feature if you ask me.

What this isn’t

To set expectations, what this won’t do for you is present multiple people’s faces at once on some background with other content. This isn’t a way to recreate the talking heads on cable news. It’s a way for one presenter to share their screen and with their screen show content and their camera video feed at the same time.

How to do it

Alright, so let’s cover what we’re really doing here. It’s actually really simple. To share your face and your content at the same time

• Open the content you want to share (slide show, browser, file, white board, etc.).
• Open an app that shows a live feed of your webcam. - On Windows, you can use the Camera app (open the Start menu and search Camera ). If your camera feed comes through flipped horizontally, here's a way to troubleshoot that . - On macOS, open QuickTime Player and click File > New Movie Recording . - On Chrome OS (Chromebooks), use the included Camera app . - You can also go semi-pro and download VLC Player (a free, well-respected, open-source video player), set it to capture device then set the window to always on top . - And you could make use of the fun features of Snapchat's Snap Camera (though I've heard this app has security risks, so download at your own risk). This app would also let you change the background of your video feed, I think (please test for yourself). You won’t be recording anything. You’re just using the app to display your webcam’s live feed. Note: QuickTime doesn't show its buttons if you move your mouse away, but Windows's Camera app does. If that bothers you, consider whether it's more important to you whether you can share your face and your content simultaneously... or your have your face come through even with minimal buttons showing. Or test with the other camera apps I mentioned above.
• Align the apps in a way that makes sense. Perhaps make the camera feed large and the content small above your shoulder (à la newscaster) or use the split screen feature in Windows (known as window snapping ) or macOS (known as split view ) to put the content side-by-side taking up the whole screen (or almost all of it).
• In your Teams meeting, share your screen.

That’s basically it. Your success with this method isn’t about Teams. It’s about how well you manage and share your content. For example, you can easily display a PowerPoint slideshow (use option 2 in this article for presenting the slides as a resizable window), a browser, and your camera feed to discuss big-picture topics with your slides and a demonstration with the browser.

You can open a whiteboard from Office 365 in your browser and split-screen the whiteboard with your camera feed. If you’re a teacher or professor, it’s absolutely worth having a second device with a pen to write and sketch. For example, you could use an iPad to sketch on the whiteboard while you also have it open and displaying the whiteboard live in the browser next to your camera feed, all which is shared via your screen in Teams.

As handy as this trick is, there are a few down sides:

• I haven’t tested, but I very much doubt you could do this on your tablet or phone.
• You can’t get rid of the top bars of the apps if you’re not pushing to full screen.
• This whole thing works best if you have a second monitor. It can work if you only have one, but it can be annoying to have to jump between your content and Teams to check in on the chat. If you’re using one monitor, I suggest setting your Windows Taskbar or macOS Dock to automatically hide. Enable do not disturb in Windows or macOS. I also suggest you join the meeting on your phone to follow the chat as a workaround.
• This will impact bandwidth, probably a lot. If people in your meeting are complaining about your shared content coming through delayed, slow, or choppy, have them turn off incoming video for everyone one else—which actually disables your incoming video feed too—and it should improve things while still showing your shared screen. That said, this is a high-bandwidth action and it could end up being so choppy that it ultimately fails. There's not much you can do to recover other than reverting back to the standard sharing mechanisms.

Is there a way to record the screen?

Yes! If you want to record what you're presenting, you can always record the meeting using the built-in meeting recording features in Teams. With this method you can get the transcript, which is handy. It also automatically uploads the video to Microsoft Stream—Office 365's video service—and makes it available to all participants (as long as they're in your organization). The recording is also automatic outside of you pressing start and stop; super simple to use. However, with this method, your video will have all the other participants' faces displaying.

In many situations, seeing the faces would be unprofessional or even breaching privacy if shared (and what's the point of recording if not to share?). The simplest way to do it is to use Microsoft Stream to record the screen you're sharing. I should point out that Teams also uses Stream with its recordings (as mentioned in the previous paragraph). When I reference Stream in this paragraph, I'm talking about using it separately from Teams. Record the screen you're sharing in the meeting; do not record the meeting from Teams. If you have a license to use Teams and record a meeting, you likely have a license to record your screen without added cost and all you need is a browser to do it. Follow these instructions for that.

If you want some more control and are willing to invest time time or money, you can look into OBS Studio or Camtasia . I personally use Camtasia for both screen recording and easy-to-use, but still powerful video editing, and I like it a lot. (I'm not paid to say that.)

Can I present PowerPoint slides with video and still get presenter view?

Turns out you can! I published a separate post and video after this question came up a bunch of times. It requires two screens to pull off, which, if you present in Teams regularly, you should really invest in anyway . Trust me. You also need a camera app that can be set to always stay on top of other windows (so your slides don't overtake your video). The video below or post linked above will run you through everything you need to do.

What about OBS?

(If you don't know what OBS is, feel free to skip this section.)

Now, some of you probably have the instant response of, “Hold up, Matt, there are already ways to do this. Just use OBS Studio or another video encoder.” And my reaction to that is: bless your hearts. And that’s coming from a New Yorker! There are more than 75+ million daily users of Teams, and almost all of them will be scared by your use of the word studio and completely lost by the term video encoder .

Let’s be real: they shouldn't have to use a video encoder or advanced software to configure their video and content. Teams offers a difficult enough learning curve without them needing to dive into the rabbit hole of video production. Does this option offer green screen background removal? No. Does it let you drop multiple faces into one feed? No. But it does let you do the one thing so many people have been requesting: video and content side-by-side presenting, all without any additional software or skills.

What this article covers is as easy as moving some windows around and sharing your screen, meaning it’s something any presenter can do. If you want to do something more complex using a video encoder, by all means go for it. In fact, watch John Moore’s overview of using OBS to do something similar and definitely more slick, but more complex.

So that’s pretty much it! Anyway, I’d love to hear if this would be useful for you and how’d you’d put it to work in your organization. Leave any questions or comments below and requests are always taken into account.Happy newscasting!

Madden NFL 25 Ultimate Team Deep Dive

August 7, 2024

Hey Madden fans!

Welcome back to Gridiron Notes, where we bring you information on your favorite modes straight from our developers!

Today, we are here to talk about the biggest year of live services and Madden Ultimate Team yet. Make sure to tune into our Good Morning Madden streams on Twitch all year long for player item reveals and program information! We’ll be live this weekend, so stay tuned!

Let’s break today’s Deep Dive down into three main sections:

Firstly, we want to offer new ways to play . This goes for both our online competitive players AND our solo offline players. We want you to feel as though you’re earning, progressing and building your Ultimate Team regardless of how you play. Also, we know MUT can feel daunting for new players. That’s why we’ve focused on streamlining your experience with some changes throughout Ultimate Team we think you’re going to love. Lastly, we know how much you loved the amount of MUT content in Madden NFL 24, so we’re going to deliver even more in Madden NFL 25: More seasons, more content . 

Let’s dive in!

New Ways to Play

So, you think you’re a Madden GOAT? Here’s where you prove it. Online Ranked Head-to-Head is a live service outside of Ultimate Team where you can make your mark across the Madden universe. Over a quarter of all of our Madden players play Online H2H. This year, to ramp up the competition and give you a tangible marker of your Madden skill, we’re bringing rankings into Online H2H. It’s just as it sounds – you win, you climb the rankings. Each win earns you Rank Points. As you rank up, you’ll make your way to Madden legend status. You’ll see exactly where you are on the leaderboard and climb H2H Divisions as you rank up. Want to solidify your spot atop the best of the best? Legend Rank is an exclusive club for the Top 100 Online H2H Madden players in the world!

In Madden NFL 25, Online H2H has received upgraded matchmaking! Also, break out your snow boots, we’re adding the much-requested ability to select time of day and weather. Both players will be able to choose their preference but the match will use the settings of whoever is selected as the home team.

Online H2H will lay the foundation to have more live service updates throughout the year. Each season will provide its own Ranked event with a new opportunity to achieve top dog status and prove your skills. 

Madden Ultimate Team Ranked

The H2H Hub is your home for ranked, Head-to-Head MUT play. You’ll now see, clearly displayed, your persistent rank amongst the best as well as the division you’re in. With improved matchmaking, winning matters more than ever because ranked points can only be earned by victories. With ranked mode, we’re using our divisions technology to create an experience unique to the Ultimate Team player. The divisions system provides you with a long-term goal to climb the ranks, make your way to the top, and earn the best rewards in Ultimate Team along the way. Keep grinding once you get to Legend rank, because the Top 100 players at the end of each session earn themselves an auctionable player item!    

Weekend Gauntlet

Ready to test your MUT lineup and stick work against the best of the best? Weekend Gauntlet is here, giving you a place to earn high value rewards when you win. You’ll earn Gauntlet-Exclusive player rewards after 10 wins, but stay locked in, because two losses and it’s game over. Qualify for the Weekend Gauntlet by winning 16 MUT Champs games from the past week or with coins. With Weekend Gauntlet we’re trying to bring back the community spectacle element by celebrating and rewarding the most competitive MUT players out there while also providing an arena for the best players to compete against each other. Season One will have two Gauntlet-Exclusive player item rewards. These items are earned after achieving 10 wins in a single run. There will also be 500 Limited versions of these two player items that have more ability power for the first 500 players to 10 wins! All Weekend Gauntlet games are five minute quarters, All-Madden difficulty. We’re looking forward to these being some of the most competitive games of the MUT week! 

6-on-6 Events

We’ll be introducing some 6-on-6 events this year! These events will let you compete in small-sided 6-on-6 football, a totally new way to play with your existing Ultimate Team roster. You’ll take on solo challenges that will have you reconsider how to best utilize your squad. We anticipate this being a more approachable format for MUT beginners as well as a new, fun experience for the MUT veterans. You’ll have more open field, more space to see a route develop and hit the right read. Stay tuned for more information, we anticipate the first event coming this Fall.  

Solo Seasons

Some of our most avid MUT gamers rarely play head-to-head against other players. This year, we’re introducing more robust solo experiences for our offline players. Online H2H seasons mode is now available for offline players! Players will enter solo seasons, play an entire solo season, make the playoffs and eventually make the Super Bowl all against AI opponents. You’ll even be able to move up and down divisions with an escalating difficulty curve, just like in Head-to-Head Seasons. Truly endless play for solo players allowing them to have full competitive games without having to wait for the next content drop.  

New Challenge Types

Introducing… Epic Challenges! New to Ultimate Team in Madden NFL 25, these solo challenges are not for the faint of heart. The challenges demand a strong coaching sense and an impeccable playcalling strategy. Only the most dedicated users will be able to conquer these grueling tasks. Time to test your stick skills! 

Now a permanent fixture, Gridiron Forge challenges are back! Gridiron Forge challenges are quick challenges that escalate in difficulty. New ones will be added all year long. 

Streamlined Experience

Refreshed MUT Presentation

You spend all year building your ideal lineup. Well, you deserve to show that lineup off! In Madden NFL 25, we’ve refreshed the in-game MUT presentation. You’ll see your stars standing up front-and-center prior to kickoff of your game. This is our first step in providing you with opportunities to better celebrate what you accomplish!  

New Lineup Experience

Ultimate Team has always been part football simulation and part deck building. In Madden NFL 25 we are streamlining that deck building experience, making it as easy and as fun to use as the in-game experience. For starters, your lineup screen will now suggest improvements and show you how they impact your team’s overall rating. This includes strategy items! You can now easily see, when you equip a strategy item, which players are being impacted by the strategy item without having to transition screens. One pain point we know you felt in lineups was setting your depth charts after a substitution. This year in MUT, you’ll be able to drag and drop player items across your lineup! The goal here is to make your lineup-setting experience as quick and easy as possible, allowing you more room for experimentation. Looking for a specific Theme Team? Building the best 6-on-6 lineup? Lineup customization will be easier than ever. We’re looking forward to seeing you get in the lab and experiment, unleashing the power of many lineup combinations!  

We’ll make setting your 6-on-6 lineups easy, too. 6-on-6 positions are designated in your existing lineup. For example, you’ll see a “6-on-6” tag on your QB1’s item in your lineup. This means you’ll be able to jump into the 6-on-6 gameplay without having to manage two separate lineups. If you’d rather manage two lineups, you can save a different 6-on-6 lineup, the option is yours. 

More Seasons, More Content

In Madden NFL 23 we had five seasons. In Madden NFL 24 we had seven seasons. Madden NFL 25 will have eight program-filled seasons! 

Last year you loved the amount of content we released, especially late in the season, after the Super Bowl. We released more than 50 unique Ultimate Team programs, each one bringing new ways to build your Ultimate Team. We’re going to provide even more programming in Madden NFL 25. We’re determined to keep that momentum going. As long as our players are enjoying the content we’re putting out, we’re going to keep creating new experiences. We want Madden to feel fresh and rewarding 52 weeks a year. 

Dev Note: We re-visited every single MUT program from Madden NFL 24. In doing so, we re-worked some fan favorites and developed new ones to keep things fresh throughout the year. Stay tuned!

In summary, we’re beyond excited for you to enjoy new ways to play Madden Ultimate Team in Madden NFL 25 – whether you play competitively, solo or both. We’re looking forward to seeing your powerful lineup customization with a refreshed, streamlined presentation. And of course, we’ll be delivering rewarding, meaningful experiences every week, all the way up until the launch of Madden NFL 26. See you on the sticks!

Houston Texans' Cam Akers Wants to Do 'Anything He Can' to Help Team

Kade kimble | aug 16, 2024.

• Houston Texans

Houston Texans running back Cam Akers, in particular, is up for a career-defining preseason. After suffering two achilles injuries, Akers is looking to bounce back after stints with the Los Angeles Rams -- his original club -- and the Minnesota Vikings.

The 25-year-old is staring at a big opportunity to earn the Texans' backup running back job. Dameon Pierce wasn't exactly productive last season, leaving Akers with a big chance to revive his once-promising career.

Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik was complimentary of the Florida State product given his time with the club during preseason and training camp.

“It is easy to see Cam [Akers] is familiar with the outside zone scheme when he was in L.A. and Minnesota, they both did something pretty similar to what we do," Slowik said. "So, there is not a lot of conversation with him has to take place with how to run zone in general."

For Akers, it's convenient that he understands the running schemes so he can hit the ground running with the team as he lobbies for a spot on the 53-man roster and in the running back rotation. It hasn't been perfect, but the Texans running back is impressing early on.

"We have had to talk about other run schemes we do. We ran gap, we ran a lot of other stuff that he has had to adjust to a little bit, but he wants to know it all," Slowik continued. "He is thirsty for knowledge, he is always asking questions, he wants to make sure that when we put him in he is doing the right thing. He really wants to do anything he can to help us.”

Being familiar with the scheme is one thing, but the hunger Akers is carrying through preseason also happens to be popping out to head coach DeMeco Ryans and Slowik, as the offensive coordinator mentioned. The team needs a sure backup running back to Joe Mixon, and Akers' reliability might be the reason he's chosen to be such.

Slowik was asked about Akers' explosiveness, and he came back to reliability by the end of his statement.

“Yeah, I think it is easy to see in these preseason games," Slowik said of Akers. "The way he has gone out, the way he has made plays, he has made people miss in space, he has been at the right spot. He has had I think almost no mental mistakes, maybe one. But extremely reliable you see all of that.”

It'll be interesting to see the position battle for RB2 to play out. Whether it be Akers or Pierce -- the Texans' offense is still going to be elite behind the leadership of C.J. Stroud and a star-studded wide receiver corps.

Strategic Acquisition Reinforces Lockheed Martin's Commitment to Expanding Advanced Satellite Manufacturing and Responsive Space Capabilities

BETHESDA, Md. , Aug. 15, 2024 / PRNewswire / -- Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] today announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Terran Orbital [NYSE: LLAP], a global leader of satellite-based solutions primarily supporting the aerospace and defense industries.

Terran Orbital brings a high throughput, robotic manufacturing capacity and high-performing modular space vehicle designs. Combined with Lockheed Martin's record of performance and innovation, this transaction will usher in an even broader range of capabilities and value for customers. Lockheed Martin uses Terran Orbital's satellites for its work, most notably with the Space Development Agency's Transport and Tracking Layer programs, and in several of its self-funded technology demonstrations.

"We've worked with Terran Orbital for more than seven years on a variety of successful missions," said Robert Lightfoot , president, Lockheed Martin Space. "Their capabilities, talent and business momentum align with Lockheed Martin Space's strategic plans – and we're looking forward to welcoming them to our team. Our customers require advanced technology and even faster product development, and that's what we can achieve together."

The transaction stands to pave a path for further advancement, as Lockheed Martin continues to invest in technology, people, and capacity to support future customer needs.

"This transaction combines our strengths and expertise," said Marc Bell , chairman, CEO, and co-founder of Terran Orbital. "This move will open new opportunities for growth and innovation, and we couldn't be more excited about the future. Access to Lockheed Martin's incredible engineers and world class facilities will only accelerate our business plan to provide low-cost, high-value solutions to our ever-growing customer base."

Transaction Details

The enterprise value of the transaction is approximately $450 million . Lockheed Martin will acquire Terran Orbital for $0.25 in cash for each outstanding share of common stock and retire its existing debt. This transaction also provides for Lockheed Martin and other current Terran Orbital creditors establishing a new, $30 million working capital facility that has been put in place as of signing.  

The transaction is expected to close in fourth quarter of 2024 and is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory and Terran Orbital stockholder approvals. Upon closing, Terran Orbital will remain a commercial merchant supplier to industry.  

Proven Spacecraft Portfolio and Technology

Terran Orbital has a track record of supporting more than 80 missions over the past decade for government and commercial customers with complex mission requirements, from low earth orbit to the Moon and beyond. As of today, Lockheed Martin is Terran Orbital's largest customer. This longstanding working relationship between the companies underpins a strong cultural alignment and ability to recognize synergies between the two businesses.

Terran Orbital joined the Lockheed Martin Ventures (LM Ventures) portfolio – a fund that makes investments in technology innovations to drive growth in existing, adjacent and new segments for the company – with an initial investment in 2017 . LM Ventures has since made two additional investments in Terran Orbital in 2020 and 2022. This marks the first LM Ventures company that Lockheed Martin has sought to acquire since founding the fund in 2007.

Adjust your view in a Teams meeting

Teams tries to anticipate what you’ll want to see in a meeting. When someone starts speaking, we show them. When someone shares content, we show that.

But when you'd rather see something else, there are a few ways to tell Teams.

Switch between people and content

When someone's sharing a presentation, you can switch between viewing that content and watching the people in the room by simply clicking on the video you're interested in. Try this when there's a presentation taking place in a meeting room and you want to see who's talking and note their body language. 

Pin a video

To focus on a particular video, right click and select Pin . The video will be pinned to your view regardless of who's talking. You can pin as many videos as will fit on your screen. If you change your mind, right click again and hit Unpin .

Reframe a video

Teams crops some videos to make them fit your screen better. If you want a different view of a particular video—for example, if someone’s cropped out of the video or it only shows part of their face—right click and select Fit to frame to see the entire video.

Select Fill frame to see a closer, cropped view.

10 Moments of Beauty at the Paris Olympics

The Summer Games are known for athletic excellence, but they provide plenty of aesthetic excellence along the way.

Some people watch the Olympics for the events. Others watch for the hot athletes.

This is nothing new. Going all the way back to the first century, the orator Dio Chrysostom praised the “beauty” of the boxer Melankomas, who competed in the ancient Greek athletic games .

That same feeling resonates in 2024. A number of participants in the Paris Summer Olympics have distinguished themselves for things beyond their athletic talent. In an extreme case, a pole-vaulter gained a great deal of attention — some might say notoriety — for failing in a unique way. Others caught the public’s attention through moments of love or kindness — a different but equally palpable form of beauty.
