How does my team share two separate user's screens simultaneously in a Teams meeting?

It would be extremely useful to allow two users to simultaneously share their screens in a Teams meeting. Many meeting users or conference rooms are setup with two monitors and being able to see two users screens would be much more efficient than having to share user #1 screen ->stop U-1 share -> share user #2 screen -> stop U-2 share -> reshare U-1 screen.

Can two separate user's share screens simultaneously to a Teams meeting so that both screens can be presented side-by-side?

    Same problem here, see attached.

    Also, but this is my personal comment: nowadays, we ALL have multiple screens, and indeed waste our time stopping other people sharing their screen to show ours instead, and vice-versa. We are now in the 21st century, we all have 2 or even 3 screens at work and more than time than Microsoft consider these needs. And please do not tell us about how confusing it would be for people to manage several screens, because first we are all used to several screens, but the most confusing is actually how Teams is using different Windows for scree or chat, or "by Design" argument, that is just bad design, point! Asking us to use 3rd party paying software or low-tech countermeasure is not a solution sorry. As someone else said above, Zoom is already doing it, and I would add: What was the point of purchasing Skype and burying it if it was to stay in MSN past? Please listen to your Users and provide a decent solution, thanks.

    Hi @Steven Ogburn

    Good day to you! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. 

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Teams meetings and I truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback. 

    To clarify, by design, Microsoft Teams currently only allows one participant to share their screen at a time during a meeting. While multiple users can take turns sharing, concurrent screen sharing isn’t supported. When a second participant begins sharing, it automatically stops the first person’s share. 

    Here is the current workaround if you want to share two separate screens at the same time: 

    1/ Use a Teams add-in: Frameable “MultiShare” 
    MultiShare is a third-party app available in the Microsoft AppSource that allows multiple participants to share their screens at the same time. Each attendee can choose which screen(s) to view, and the app handles the feeds without interrupting other presenters. 

    • Integrated directly into Teams, no need for external platforms 
    • Simple for end-users once installed, and enterprise-ready (passed Microsoft’s security review) 

    Notes: 

    • Requires admin approval to install; may involve licensing or trial limitations 
    • Works best with dual monitors users can view multiple shared screens side-by-side 

    Getting Started with MultiShare

Please make sure that you completely understand the risk before retrieving any suggestions from the above link    

    2/ “Dual Meeting” workaround (two meetings in parallel) 
    This method involves running two Teams meetings at the same time. One presenter shares in the main meeting, and another shares in a secondary meeting. Participants join both meetings one via the Teams desktop app and the other via a browser to view both screens concurrently. 

    • No third-party tools required; uses only Teams and a browser 
    • Free and feasible even in restricted environments 

    Notes: 

    • Requires all participants to manage two meeting windows, which can be confusing 
    • Higher bandwidth and CPU usage; recordings and attendance are split 
    • Best suited for users with dual monitors or conference rooms with multiple displays 

    That said, I completely agree with your suggestion, it’s a great idea and would be incredibly useful, especially for setups with dual monitors or collaborative sessions that require comparing content in real time. 

    As a moderator, I don’t have direct influence over product development decisions. However, if you haven’t already, I highly recommend submitting your feedback through the Microsoft Feedback Hub. The Teams product team actively reviews user suggestions to help shape future updates and improve flexibility in meetings.

    Thanks again for being so clear and passionate in your message and if there’s anything else I can help with, just let me know. I’m happy to help. 

    Wishing you a great day ahead.

    @Marc Morisse I fully agree and could not say it in better words. During meetings we always switch our screens and it is waste of time.
