Windows 11 has a feature that lets you share an app window directly into a Microsoft Teams meeting or video call from the Taskbar. The feature has been designed to make it easier to share content without sharing the entire desktop quickly and prevent interrupting the workflow while in a meeting.
The feature is part of Windows 11, and it works with any video conferencing platform, but it's up to the developer to implement it on their applications. At the time of this writing, it only works with the commercial version of Microsoft Teams, not the consumer version (the one built into Windows 11).
In this Windows 11 guide, we will walk through the steps to share an app window on Microsoft Teams.
How to share an app window on Microsoft Teams
The process to share an app window is straightforward on Windows 11, but you must first make sure the feature is enabled.

To enable the option to share an app during a Teams meeting, use these steps:

Once you complete the steps, only that app window will be shared in the call. You can even resize the window, and the feature will adapt to share only the contents of that application.
If you are presenting a PowerPoint slideshow in full-screen mode, you can move the mouse to the bottom of the screen to access the options to share another window or stop sharing of the current window.

To disable the ability to share an app window, use these steps:
- Open Settings.
