Presenter mode ‘standout’ allows a PowerPoint presenter to show their video overlaid on the presentation during a Microsoft Teams meeting. This feature enables a more engaging experience by not having the attendee choose between seeing the presenter or the shared PowerPoint content.
‘Standout’ mode will showcase the presenter’s video feed on the bottom right corner of the presentation slide. The experience works for both PowerPoint Presenter View and PowerPoint SlideShow View.
The current experience is supported on Microsoft Teams on Desktop and Mac, additional out of box presenter modes such as ‘side by side’ and ‘news anchor’ are also planned.

This feature will be available to everyone in Public Preview by September 24th, 2021
