I have many bad things to say about MS Teams, but it does allow you to join a meeting multiple times on multiple devices using the same user account - so you can watch a screenshare on your desktop. machine but use the microphone or camera on your phone.
- hateful 7y agoI've noticed that it does this in meetings, but not in a direct chat with another person (I don't think group chats either). What I usually do in that case is create a meeting so that I can do that.
- ThePadawan 7y agoYep, I should have clarified that. There is a weird disconnect between 1-to-1 calls and meetings with 2 people in them. So far I haven't been able to see any advantage at all to 1-to-1 calls except it takes fewer clicks to start them.
- larrywright 7y agoLike you, I could speak for days about the problems with MS Teams, but this is definitely one of the things they get right. Handy for presenting your whole screen and being able to monitor chat conversations in that meeting on your iPad.
- ThePadawan 7y agoFunny that mentioned an iPad! I had the exact opposite use case: I used my iPad to draw a diagram, but used my desktop webcam instead of the one in the iPad sitting in my lap (which would have a terrible angle of pretty much only my chin).
- marcusjt 7y agoGoogle Meet lets you do that too, in fact I was doing it earlier today, but until now I hadn't thought that was in any way remarkable... is it really?
