Unfortunately that just pops up a notification on the screen of the person sharing their screen, letting them know you asked for control and giving an approve or deny option.

Far more boring than the name would imply.

Should be "Request Control" then. I'm so tired of shit UX in mainstream software. It's not that hard, people.

There are already a few notifications, banners, and pop-ups while presenting in Teams. If you're really lucky the presenter could instinctively click "Accept" without reading it, but it seems more likely they'd notice and verbally ask what you want it for.

I tried it once during online school, teacher accidentally accepted it, just another allow/decline pop-up.

So, whilst they're presenting the entire group could distract the speaker with such notifications?

What could possibly go wrong..

It's possible to turn this off for regular participants and define moderators who would still be able to do this. So you can decide beforehand whether you want to enable this for everyone or not.

I had a few meetings where the person sharing their screen was so lost, it was necessary for others to step up and take over the control of their cursor.

Misery, misery, misery, that's what you've chosen. I offered to read an email, and you spat in my face.

Never having finished Control, I thought it was going to be from Mass Effect ... Which I also never finished, but I've seen the memes.

[-] Damage@feddit.it 2 points 8 months ago

That's "Assuming direct control" or something... I've finished both! Still haven't played Alan Wake 2 tho, the previous ones didn't impress me that much, even if Control is amazing.

good erection discipline, though -- what with the option to "pop out" being greyed out.
