Meeting participants tend to be more focused and have a better experience when they see a presenter along with a presentation. An interactive presenter also helps guide an audience along with visual cues while reducing information overload.
By using a presenter mode such as Standout, Side-by-side, or Reporter in a Teams meeting instead of sharing screen or window content only, you become a more engaging and integral part of your presentation.
The following examples show how each presenter mode appears to an audience:
Standout presenter mode
Side-by-side presenter mode
Reporter presenter mode

Presenter modes also allow presenters to customize how their content will be oriented on screen and adjust the size of the video to better fit the presentation.
1. Use the Position buttons in the preview window to direct where videos will appear in relation to the content.
2. Enlarge or reduce video size using the Size slider. Slide the circle to the left to reduce the size of a video, or to the right to enlarge the size of a video.
