Using TEAMS to show a paper

Yes. In a Teams for Education meeting, a Word document can be shared in a way that only part of it is visible at a time by controlling what is shared and how it is scrolled.

Use one of these approaches:

1. Share just the Word window and scroll as needed
   1. Open the Word document on the desktop.
   2. In the Teams meeting, select Share content on the meeting toolbar.
   3. Choose Window and select the Word window (instead of sharing the whole desktop).
   4. Resize the Word window and zoom so that only the portion to be discussed is visible.
   5. Scroll down manually when ready to show the next part. Students will only see what is currently visible in that window.
2. Share the desktop but crop by window placement
   1. Select Share content → Desktop.
   2. Arrange the Word window so only the desired section is visible and avoid bringing other windows into view.
   3. Scroll gradually as the lesson progresses.
3. Use PowerPoint if content can be split into slides
   1. Copy sections of the Word document into a PowerPoint deck, one section per slide.
   2. In Teams, select Share content → PowerPoint and present slide by slide so students only see one “portion” at a time.

All of these rely on the standard Teams sharing controls described for presenting files and apps: select Share content, then choose Desktop, Window, or PowerPoint, and stop sharing when finished.
