Can you show slides in Teams breakout rooms?
If you resume the shared screen in the main meeting room, the shared screen in the breakout room will be put on hold and show the last slide that is being shared with the breakout room participants. Disclaimer: This is a peer-to-peer support forum.
Now, with just about two clicks, you can share content – such as a slide- with the screens in ALL the breakout rooms. You can also share your whiteboard and even your iPad, iPhone, or a second camera.
Select “Share Screen” from the meeting control bar. Select which screen or application window you would like to share then select to “Share to breakout rooms” then select “Share” When you are ready to stop sharing to the breakout rooms, select “Stop Share” from the meeting control bar.
Breakout rooms can only be created in meetings that have fewer than 300 attendees. In addition, creating breakout rooms in a meeting automatically limits the number of meeting attendees to 300. Advise your end-users to not initiate breakout rooms in meetings where they expect more than 300 participants.
Participants within breakout rooms can share whiteboards, videos, and documents to complete their assigned task. Their results can then be reported back to the entire group once breakout rooms are closed.
The host of the meeting will not be assigned to a breakout room and cannot see or hear what is happening in the breakout rooms during the meeting. Also, the breakout rooms cannot hear or see what is happening in the other breakout rooms as well.
As the host, you will not be sorted into one of the breakout rooms, and cannot hear what is being discussed in the Breakout Rooms. However, you can visit individual Breakout Rooms to check in on the discussions happening in a particular room.

Inviting Breakout Sessions to Share Content

Can you jump between breakout rooms in Teams?
Meeting organizers can configure their Breakout Rooms to enable participants to freely swap between the Breakout Room and main meeting. If this option has been enabled and the Breakout Rooms have been opened, you will see the option to Join the Breakout room or Return to the main meeting.
Breakout rooms allow organizers to divide meetings into sub-groups to facilitate discussions and brainstorming sessions. Since the launch in December 2020, we have released several new features that simplify the management and creation of breakout rooms while improving overall meeting efficiency.

Breakout rooms allow you to split your Zoom meeting in up to 50 separate sessions. The meeting host can choose to split the participants of the meeting into these separate sessions automatically or manually, and can switch between sessions at any time.
The Host can move participants between breakout rooms while they are in rooms to mix up the discussion. The Host can end the breakout rooms, bringing all participants back to the main Zoom meeting. They can then send participants back to the same breakout groups or create new breakout groups.
Participants in another Breakout Room may share a Whiteboard, application, website and so on. We recommend only one Share Screen activity at a time in the main room or in any Breakout Room. Leaders and participants may access the Whiteboard tool via the Share Screen icon on the meeting toolbar.

Microsoft Teams and Zoom both allow up to 50 breakout rooms, but Zoom's increased capacity means you can invite more users per session. The Zoom Meetings Enterprise plan—available to organizations with 50 or more users—comes with Webinar 500.
Then you can use the Presenter View mode to show you the slides and your notes while the audience only sees the slides without them seeing your notes. In a meeting room this is usually the default approach when you connect to a projector or screen.

Can Teams breakout rooms see shared screen?

I'm happy to help you today. I'm afraid, at this time, it's not yet possible to share the presenter's screen with participants when they're in the breakout rooms.
Don't fill your slides with full sentence bullets; cut them down to short phrases of no more than 10 words. This can prevent you from reading off the slide and will instead force you to personalize each point by using your own words, rather than ones you've written down previously.
- On the PowerPoint menu, select Preferences.
- In the PowerPoint Preferences dialog box, under Output and Sharing, click Slide Show.
- In the Slide Show dialog box, clear the Always start Presenter View with 2 displays check box.
- Close the dialog box.
Your Audience Doesn't Care if You Read Your Speech from Notes. Unless you're planning to undergo the same exhaustive and months-long process that TED speakers go through, please don't kid yourself that not using notes will, in and of itself, make you look more like a world-class speaker.
When you share content in Teams, it minimizes the controls to the lower right corner of the primary screen. Click in the center of the minimized window, on the video or initials shown and the Teams app will be displayed full size again. Now you can see everyone who has their video turned on.

Presenter mode 'standout' allows a PowerPoint presenter to show their video overlaid on the presentation during a Microsoft Teams meeting. This feature enables a more engaging experience by not having the attendee choose between seeing the presenter or the shared PowerPoint content.
