summary for non-techies**
The new Slide Control feature in Microsoft Teams allows presenters to share control of PowerPoint slides with other presenters, enabling each speaker to navigate slides independently, and is set to roll out in stages starting mid-2025 for internal users, with optional access for external users.

If the Slide Control feature is implemented without proper preparation, it may lead to confusion among users regarding who has control over the slides, potentially disrupting the flow of presentations and causing frustration.
