Can you share your screen in Microsoft Teams?
One downside to sharing your screen in Teams is your face is no longer prominent to the people you’re presenting to. But you can use the built-in camera app in Windows or Chrome. OS or Quick. Time Player in mac. OS to show the live feed of your camera alongside your content. Check out my recent post for an in-depth overview of how to do that.

How do I share content in a Microsoft Teams meeting?
Share any content in the Teams desktop app on monitor 1. The desktop app is the most full-featured for sharing content. Because your mic and camera are controlled by the Teams meeting in the Edge browser on monitor #2, it should be easier to find your meeting controls to mute/unmute yourself.
