If you’ve ever sat through a Teams meeting where every speaker said, “Next slide, please,” then you already know the pain. Those clunky handovers and awkward silences break the flow and make meetings feel… less than professional. Microsoft finally caught on and delivered a fix that’s small in theory but huge in practice.

The Update That Puts Slide Control in More Hands
If your business runs regular webinars, presentations, or collaborative calls, this one change will save you time—and frustration. Teams is rolling out a feature that lets multiple users control PowerPoint slides during a meeting.
That means no more waiting for the “main presenter” to advance each slide. Each co-presenter can take over seamlessly. Presenters can now stay in the zone, flow naturally, and avoid awkward “can you go back one?” moments.
It’s a small shift, but one that makes your meetings feel a lot more polished.

No more interruptions when switching presenters.

Each speaker can manage their own slides—just like they would in person.
