#MSTeams Setting Up Microsoft Teams to Allow External Meeting Participants to Take Control

Microsoft Teams is a screen sharing tool for collaboration and support, but a recent change to the default policy settings has prevented external meeting participants from requesting or taking control. This can make support time-consuming and frustrating. To fix this setting, follow these steps: 1. Log into Microsoft 365 or Outlook and access the Admin app. 2. Click the "Show all" option in the left-hand pane. 3. Select "Teams" to go to the Microsoft Teams Admin Center. 4. Hover over the calendar icon for "Meetings" and choose "Meeting policies." 5. Click on the "Global (Org-wide default)" policy. 6. Scroll down to the "Content Sharing" section. 7. Ensure that the "External Participants can give or request control" option is turned on. 8. Save the changes. Make sure your organization administrator has enabled this setting before inviting external participants to join your Teams meetings.
