Use in-meeting controls for immersive spaces in Microsoft Teams
Now that you’re in a meeting, explore the immersive space to see what controls are available and interact with other participants. To the left of your view, you'll notice the system menu with Settings and Feedback. The app bar in the middle will give you options for Seating Overview, Space Settings, and Reactions. The Profile button in the lower-right corner is where you can customize your avatars.

Teams gallery and stage
When someone shares content in a Teams meeting, the shared content will show up on the virtual stage inside the immersive space. Under the virtual stage, participants in the immersive space can see a gallery displaying the Teams participants who aren’t in the immersive space.
Personal stage
No matter where you are in the immersive environment, you can always see the shared meeting content right in front of you. When another participant is sharing content on the stage in a Teams meeting, you'll have access to a personal stage through the menu bar, which opens a larger viewing window of shared content. Select Open personal stage to open this view.
Note: In Teams or Quest 2, when someone begins to share their screen, you’ll see the notification "Screenshare started."
