[sakthicsk]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Appreciate the efforts towards the support of Teams in linux. This is related to feature enhancement and not an issue/problem.

Describe the solution you'd like
Like windows teams, if we can request or give the control on the shared screen, then it will speed help us to ease our team meeting.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Hi @sakthicsk ,

Feel free to try implementing this feature. I will try to help.

An option is to ask MS to implement it in the browser in their uservoice.
https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/38982550-allow-grant-control-on-web-meetings-interface

As I indicated in https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/issues/306 I can't really spend the time implementing new features, only fixing issues, but happy to help and I do accept new PRs.

I will leave this open and see if someone/or you, start seeing if can get this implemented.

Thanks!

Hi @IsmaelMartinez,

I am eager to do that.  Since I new to the linux environment with embedded C/C++ background, I will seek your help at my leisure.

Note that this is also a requested feature for Microsoft's own Linux client, and that there is a workaround for taking control of a shared screen (only, and limitations apply).

[IsmaelMartinez]

Thanks for the info @ABCMoNa . We are already enabling that flag in our index.js in the brower folder https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/blob/develop/app/browser/index.js#L52

To be honest, I haven't try this feature nor have needed to try it. Maybe it already works but with the limitations that Menno-4505 mentions.

And thanks for your feedback, Ismael. I tried to remote control a colleagues' shared screen using version 1.0.5 on Ubuntu 20.04 amd64, but the remote control bar did not actually show for me, and the colleague (who was using the official Windows client) was not able to offer me to control his screen (this option was either not available or greyed out, I don't remember which of the two).

If anyone would like to test this more, please ping me, I'll be happy to help (as time permits).

Checked in ubuntu 18.04 and its working
