MS Teams integrates PowerPoint

When sharing content in Microsoft Teams, the pane to choose the screen/window to share has now moved to the right (was bottom), on my version (1.4.00.1116). 

In the pane a new option PowerPoint Live has been added. 


It opens slides directly in presenter view in teams, while attendees see the presentation itself. Attendees can even (individually) browse to other pages, if you allow them to.


Great addition, and more features are coming. Here's a Microsoft article on this, but take care: all features discussed have not been rolled out yet at the time of this writing.

Most annoying problem is that it does not remember which presentations you loaded from your local machine, so you have to reload them every time you leave the presentation to share your screen.
