can't see presentation teams

What to do if you can’t see a shared presentation or video in Teams?

A few days ago, i was participating in a Microsoft Teams meeting with several colleagues and customers. I then noticed that the presenter was describing a slide which i wasn’t able to see. I then opened a private chat with a colleague and quickly understood that the presentation was fully visible to other participants but not to me.

In this short post i would like to describe the simple troubleshooting process i went through to be able to access that presentation. I use a Windows 10 operating system, so this should be relevant for previous Windows versions. Took 2 minutes and i was up and running.

Can’t join / view Microsoft Teams presentation – how to fix?

Step #1: check your network.

I initially thought the issue was related to my Virtual Private Network connection (VPN). I disconnected, and the issue wasn’t solved. I then look into the WIFI signal in home office – all good. Problem still there.

Step #2: Re-start Microsoft Teams

Quit and restart the Microsoft Teams app.

• From the Windows taskbar (bottom of your screen), find the Microsoft Teams icon.
• Make a right Click and hit Quit .
• Then from taskbar hit the Search icon (Magnifying Glass).
• Then type Microsoft Teams and hit Enter to launch the application.
• Next step was to try again to view the presentation, again – no luck.

Step #3: Clear Teams cache

My third step was to reset the application cache. Here’s how that is done:

• First off, quit Microsoft Teams. Note that Teams won’t allow you to clear the cache if the app is still running in the background.
• From the Task bar, hit the Search button. Alternatively, use the Windows button + S shortcut.
• Type %appdata% .
• The Windows Explorer dialog will open. Now navigate to the Microsoft folder.
• You’ll see a folder named Teams . Make a copy of that folder, and store it in a safe place in your PC.
• Now enter the Teams folder and delete the Cache folder.
• Restart Teams, the problem should be gone.

Follow up question: How to Share Powerpoints in Teams Meetings

Here is a question from Wendy:

Hello folks, i work as a consulting in an IT software firm. So far used Webex and now transitioned to Microsoft Teams. I understand that there are several techniques to share pptx slides in Microsoft Teams for Windows. Specifically i am interested to share my presentation without showing the presenter notes to the participants (i still would like to view my notes though). One extra requirement is to be able to view the participants list and video feed of those connecting using their cameras. Any pointers are appreciated.

Thanks for the question. There are several ways to show your slides in a Teams meeting. We’ll focus on the most prevalent ones.

• Using the PowerPoint Slide view shared over Teams.
• Using your PowerPoint Presenter View and two screens
• Using the Microsoft Teams PowerPoint live sharing

Note: We developed this answer using Windows but this will work almost perfectly in PowerPoint and Teams for macOS.

Share the PowerPoint Slide View

This is probably the simplest and most straightforward option for sharing slides.

• First off, open PowerPoint and load your presentation.
• Then start or connect to your Teams meeting from your Calendar; or start a new Team meeting.
• Use the Teams share tray to start sharing your desktop.

• Then pick the Screenshare (Desktop/Window) option.

• Choose to share the content of one of your screens or the relevant PowerPoint presentation window.
• Hit Share .
• Back to PowerPoint, move to Slide Show view by clicking F5. This will allow to share your PowerPoint presentation in full screen mode.

Summary : Note that although this method is pretty simple it has shortcomings. Unless you have two screens you won’t be able to access your notes. You won’t also be able to view the Teams meeting controls when presenting, so you’ll be able to display the participants list or access the meeting chat while presenting.

Present your slides using Presenter View

If you have two screens you are able to use the PowerPoint presenter View.

• Open PowerPoint and load your Presentation slides.
• From the PowerPoint Ribbon hit Slide Show .
• Then in the Monitor section tick Use Presenter View .
• Then hit F5 (or select Slide Show and then From Beginning ).
• Now access your Teams meeting from your Teams or Outlook Calendar.
• In the Teams Meeting controls sharing tray , select Screenshare and then select the monitor that displays your slide in full screen.
• Hit Share , and present your slides.
• This is a more robust method, which allows you to see your notes when presenting, but it requires more than one screen. It also doesn’t allow you to access the Teams user interface and view the participants list etc’.

Using PowerPoint Live to present in Teams

You can now use PowerPoint live capability to improve your presentation delivery in Teams.

• First off, upload your Presentation to a Teams channel or OneDrive.
• Then access your Teams Meeting from Outlook or the Teams Calendar.
• Next, from the meeting control, select the PowerPoint presentation you would like to share. In the example below, we have only one presentation available named Share.pptx.

• If you see your Presentation in the list, you can use the Browse button (as shown above) to either upload a presentation to Teams, browse from existing presentations shared in your Channel or pick one from OneDrive.
• Once the presentation is picked you’ll see your Teams live PowerPoint view.

• As you can see, the presenter view in Teams allows you to access the your notes. Obviously the meeting participants will see the full screen view . Note that both you and participants will be able to move back and forth between the slides as needed.
• You can use the Teams meeting controls (from the lower part of the screen) to view the Team conversation and participant list.

This capability is a very cool option for presenters. Main drawback being that given the fact that it currently leverages the web version of PowerPoint, there might be some features and animations that might not fully work in PowerPoint live.

Fix Microsoft Teams: Can’t See Shared Screen on PC

In a previous post, we showed you what you can do if you can’t share your screen during Microsoft Teams meetings. In this guide, we’ll show you how to fix the issue where you cannot see the screen being shared by someone else.

Oftentimes, Teams users are only able to see the profile picture of the user who’s sharing the screen. This issue is even more annoying if you can’t see the screen the host is sharing.

• 1.1 Log Out, and Restart Your PC and Modem
• 1.2 Close All the Other Programs
• 1.3 Ask Participants to Turn Video Off
• 1.4 Disable New Meeting Experience
• 1.5 Enable Screen Sharing on the Entire Screen
• 1.6 Disable Your VPN
• 1.7 If You’re Using Remote Desktop

Fix Microsoft Teams Shared Screen Not Showing

Log out, and restart your pc and modem.

The quickest way to refresh your device’s connection to the Microsoft Teams servers is to sign out and then restart your computer. After you do that, launch Teams again and log back in. Check if the issue persists.

If it does, unplug your modem to reset your network connection. Let your modem unplugged for one minute. Then power your network device back up and check if the shared screen is visible now.

Close All the Other Programs

Background programs and processes only eat up your computer’s memory and bandwidth. By closing them, you actually free up more resources for Teams to use.

Ask Participants to Turn Video Off

If all the attendees turned on their cameras, Teams will need more bandwidth to process all that video information. As a result, users who don’t have a stable connection may experience all sorts of glitches. Bandwidth problems might explain why you can’t see the screen that’s being shared by another meeting participant.

So, feel free to ask the other attendees to turn off their cameras if they’re not actively presenting or talking. Let them know the shared screen is not visible on your end and you’re hoping this workaround will do the trick.

Disable New Meeting Experience

Some users confirmed that disabling the “New meeting experience” option worked for them. After you disabled the option, you need to quit Teams and launch it again.

• Launch Teams, click on your profile picture, and select Settings .
• Then click on the General section.

• Relaunch Microsoft Teams.

However, if you want to keep the “New meeting experience” enabled, there’s another handy workaround that you can use. Move your mouse cursor to the left of the sender’s profile picture (the bottom right corner), and then double-click. The shared screen should load properly now.

Enable Screen Sharing on the Entire Screen

If this problem occurs on a company computer, the person sharing their screen should ask the IT admin to check the screen sharing settings. More specifically, the Org-wide policy for Screen sharing mode needs to have the Entire Screen option enabled.

Disable Your VPN

While this glitch can affect both VPN and non-VPN users, it seems that toggling your VPN either on or off may temporarily solve the problem. So, if your VPN is on, turn it off and check if the shared screen is visible now on your end. If it’s not, toggle your VPN back on.

If You’re Using Remote Desktop

If you’re using a Remote Desktop connection and you’re having this issue, tweaking the RDP-Tcp key might be the solution. Some users fixed this problem with screen sharing by setting this Registry key:

So, double-click on the AudioEnumeratorDll key, and make sure its value is set to rdpendp.dll .

By the way, if you can’t get any audio output from your remote computer during Teams meetings, setting this key should fix the issue.

If nothing worked, uninstall and reinstall the Teams desktop client.

Screen Sharing Not Working in Microsoft Teams? 9 Fixes to Try

A frustrating problem that disrupts many meetings

Microsoft Teams’ screen sharing feature allows you to share your device’s screen with your meeting participants. If you have trouble presenting your screen or see a black screen in the meeting while trying to present, your device or app may have an issue. Here are the possible solutions to your problem.

Some reasons you can’t share your screen are that not everyone is allowed to share the screen in your current meeting, Teams doesn’t have screen-sharing permission on your Mac, your internet connection isn’t fast enough, or Teams’ cache is corrupt.

1. Let Everyone Present Their Screen in Your Teams Meeting

Teams allows the meeting admin to choose who can present their screen in a meeting. If your meeting admin has disabled screen sharing for everyone, that may be why you can’t share your screen with others.

You can ask the admin to fix that by following the following steps:

• Select More at the top of a Teams meeting screen.
• Choose Settings > Meeting options in the menu.
• Select Who can present? and choose Everyone . Then, select Save .

2. Allow Teams to Share Your Mac Screen

If you’re using Teams on a Mac, you’ll have to allow the app to share your screen from your macOS settings. Once you’ve done that, Teams will be granted full access to your screen.

• Select the Apple menu in the top-left corner and choose System Preferences .
• Select Security & Privacy on the following panel.
• Choose the Privacy tab and select the Screen Recording option.
• Turn on the checkbox for Microsoft Teams on the right.

3. Make Sure Your Internet Connection Is Fast Enough

Screen sharing requires higher internet bandwidth than normal internet usage. Your internet speed should be fast enough to allow you to present your screen in your online meetings.

You can check the speed of your connection by heading to a site like Fast.com . The site will tell you your internet speed, letting you decide if you should upgrade your current plan to get higher speeds.

4. Close the Activities Using Your Internet Data

One possible reason you can’t smoothly share your screen in your Teams meetings is that your computer’s other apps and activities are using up your internet bandwidth. This leaves Teams with little bandwidth to work, leading to various issues.

You can fix this issue by closing all your apps that utilize your internet connection. You can find a list of all your open apps and even force them to close on your Windows 10/11 and Mac machines.

• Right-click the Start menu icon and choose Task Manager .
• Select the Processes tab, find the app to close, right-click the app, and choose End task .

• Press Option + Command + Esc on your keyboard.
• Select the app to close on the list and choose Force Quit .

5. Use Microsoft Teams in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge

If you’re trying to share your screen in the web version of Microsoft Teams and not in the desktop app, make sure to use a stable web browser like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. These browsers tend to work well with Teams, allowing you to present your screen and use various other app functions.

You can easily switch from your current web browser (like Firefox) to Chrome or Edge, and then start presenting your screen to everyone.

6. Delete Microsoft Teams’ App Cache

Like all other apps, the Teams application stores cache files on your computer to improve your app usage. These files can go corrupt, rendering the app unstable.

Your screen sharing not working issue may have resulted from a bad Teams cache. In this case, you can clear the app’s cache files and resolve your issue. The good news is deleting the cache doesn’t delete any of your files in the app.

• Close Teams if you’re already running the app on your PC.
• Launch the Run dialog box by pressing Windows + R .
• Type the following in the box and press Enter : %appdata%MicrosoftTeams

• Select all the files displayed on your File Explorer window by pressing Ctrl + A .
• Delete the selected files by selecting the trash can icon at the top.

• Reboot your PC and launch the Teams app.
• Quit Teams if the app is already running on your Mac machine.
• Select Go > Go to Folder in a Finder window, enter the following path, and press Enter : ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Teams
• Delete all the contents of the folder by dragging and dropping all the items onto the trash can.
• Launch Keychain Access , find all Microsoft Teams entries, and delete all those entries.

7. Lower Your Windows or Mac Screen Resolution

Consider lowering your screen resolution when you have trouble sharing your screen with others in your Teams meeting. This makes Teams use fewer resources, increasing the chances of successfully presenting your screen in your meeting.

Later, you can go back to the original screen resolution.

• Open Settings by pressing Windows + I .
• Select System in the left sidebar.
• Choose Display on the right pane.

• Select the Display resolution drop-down menu and choose a lower resolution.

• Attend your Teams meeting and try to present your screen.
• Go to System Preferences on your Mac.
• Select Display on the following page.
• Choose the Scaled option in the Resolution menu.
• Select a resolution that’s lower than the current one.

8. Update Your Display Drivers

Your display drivers define how your screen content is rendered. If these drivers are corrupt or outdated, that may be why you can’t present your screen in Teams. You can fix this by updating your faulty drivers to the latest version.

• Open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu icon and choosing Device Manager .
• Expand Display adapters , right-click your adapter, and choose Update driver .

• Select Search automatically for drivers and install the available drivers.
• If Device Manager can’t find new drivers, select Search for updated drivers on Windows Update . This option will use Windows Update to find newer drivers for your graphics adapter.

9. Update Microsoft Teams

Last but not least, you should be running the latest version of Microsoft Teams on your Windows or Mac computer. This is because older app versions have issues that are patched in newer versions.

You can update the app to fix your issue and possibly get new features.

• Open Microsoft Teams on your Windows or Mac machine.
• Select the three dots at the top of the page.
• Choose Check for updates in the menu.

• Allow the app to download and install the available updates.

Present Screen Without Issues in Microsoft Teams on Windows and Mac

Screen sharing is essential in many kinds of meetings. If you’re experiencing issues doing that in MS Teams, your problem may be related to your app or your computer. The guide above lists some possible solutions to help you resolve your issue.

Once you’ve fixed the item causing the issue, you can start displaying your screen in all your Teams meetings . Enjoy!

Fix Microsoft Teams Can’t See Shared Screen on PC: Troubleshooting Tips and Solutions

When using Microsoft Teams on a PC, screen sharing is an indispensable feature for conducting meetings and collaborations. It allows us to present PowerPoint slides, walk through documents, or share our screen entirely. However, at times, we might encounter an issue where we can’t see a shared screen, which hinders productivity. It’s a common problem many users face, but fortunately, there are several fixes that we can apply to resolve this issue.

Firstly, we can try clearing the Microsoft Teams cache on our PC. Unnecessary cache files can sometimes cause the application to malfunction. To clear these files, we need to sign out and close Microsoft Teams, then navigate to the cache directory and delete its contents. Restarting Teams after this process can often restore screen sharing functionality. Ensuring a strong internet connection is another essential step, as a poor connection can interrupt data transfer, including screen sharing. If these initial steps don’t work, we can proceed with more in-depth troubleshooting methods to get our screen sharing back on track.

• 1.1 Common Screen Sharing Problems
• 1.2 Influencing Factors for Screen Sharing
• 2.1 Check Internet and Bandwidth Speed
• 2.2 Verify Teams and System Settings
• 2.3 Restart Teams and Your PC
• 3.1 Clear Cache and Session Data
• 3.2 Update or Reinstall Device Drivers
• 3.3 Adjust Teams Meeting Policies
• 4.1 Ensure Regular Software and Security Updates
• 4.2 Optimize System for Teams Presentations

Understanding Screen Sharing Issues in Microsoft Teams

In this section, we explore the challenges users face during screen-sharing in Microsoft Teams and delve into the variables that significantly impact this feature’s performance.

Common Screen Sharing Problems

Influencing factors for screen sharing.

• An inadequate bandwidth or unstable internet connection can drastically affect the quality and reliability of screen sharing.
• Meeting participants might experience delays or a lack of synchronization between audio and video.
• Screen resolution discrepancies between the presenter’s device and the viewers’ can lead to poor visibility.
• Outdated software or apps with cache-related issues might also fail to properly display the shared content.

Basic Troubleshooting Steps

We often find sharing screens on Teams not working as it should. Let us guide you through basic steps to tackle this issue effectively.

Check Internet and Bandwidth Speed

Firstly, let’s ensure our internet connection is stable and fast enough for screen sharing in Teams meetings. Slow speeds can hinder the sharing process, leading to problems like screens not displaying.

Quick checks:

• Run a speed test to verify your internet speed.
• Close any unnecessary applications that may be consuming bandwidth.

Verify Teams and System Settings

Next, we should confirm that the settings in Teams and on your PC are configured correctly for screen sharing. On Windows PC, go to System Preferences to check that Teams is allowed to record the screen. For Mac users, similar permissions are found under Security & Privacy settings.

Action items:

• In Teams, ensure you have the necessary permissions to share screens in the meeting.
• Check for updates for Teams and the operating system to ensure everything is up-to-date.

Restart Teams and Your PC

If the above steps don’t resolve the issue, a restart can often be the simplest and most effective solution. Close Teams and then reopen it. If that doesn’t work, a complete restart of your PC or Mac may be necessary. This can resolve many issues that arise from temporary software glitches.

Advanced Solutions for Persistent Issues

If the basic fixes haven’t solved the Teams screen sharing problem, it may be time for more advanced methods. In our experience, the following steps can effectively resolve stubborn issues.

Clear Cache and Session Data

In-depth troubleshooting should start with a clean slate, which means clearing the Teams cache. This often rectifies problems caused by outdated or corrupted data.

• Close Microsoft Teams completely.
• Press Windows key + R , type %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams then press Enter.
• Delete the contents of the folder.
• Reopen Teams and check for the issue.

Update or Reinstall Device Drivers

Display drivers may cause screen sharing issues if they’re outdated or corrupt. We’ve made it a habit to keep our drivers up-to-date to avoid such problems.

Adjust Teams Meeting Policies

Sometimes, the issue isn’t technical but policy-related. As administrators, we need to ensure that the meeting policies allow screen sharing.

• Login to the Teams admin center .
• Navigate to Meeting policies .
• Adjust the policies to permit screen sharing.
• Save changes and inform the meeting organizer to try sharing again.

Preventative Measures and Best Practices

To maintain seamless screen sharing on Microsoft Teams, it’s crucial for us to implement certain preventative measures and stick to the best practices. These steps not only help in avoiding potential problems but also ensure an optimal performance during presentations.

Ensure Regular Software and Security Updates

Stay Updated: We must regularly update Microsoft Teams along with our operating system and drivers, especially the graphics driver, to patch vulnerabilities and improve compatibility. Keeping antivirus programs and firewalls up to date is also essential for security & privacy, ensuring that Teams can function without interruptions due to security software blocks.

Optimize System for Teams Presentations

When preparing our systems for Teams presentations, we ensure that all unnecessary applications, especially those consuming internet resources, are closed to prevent any hindrance during screen sharing. We also optimize our network settings, checking that our internet speed is capable of handling real-time screen recording and sharing.

System Check: Before a Teams meeting, we always perform a quick check of system resources via the Task Manager. If we find apps that aren’t needed, we close them. It’s good practice to disable any large downloads or streaming services that may impact our internet connectivity during a presentation.

Ensuring these preventative measures are in place helps us to avoid technical glitches and maintain professionalism during Teams presentations, providing a smooth experience for all participants.

Can’t see a teams presentation

Hi guys, having a weird problem here. We have a meeting every week and in this meeting I can’t see the slides are being shared with everyone. I can see slides in other meetings but always in this meeting I can’t see the slides.

I’ve seen on the internet that some are saying to clear the cache but due to group policy on our system that is not an option unfortunately

Do you guys have any advice? Thank you !

Engage your audience with presenter modes in Microsoft Teams

Meeting participants tend to be more focused and have a better experience when they see a presenter along with a presentation. An interactive presenter also helps guide an audience along with visual cues while reducing information overload.  By using a presenter mode such as Standout , Side-by-side , or Reporter in a Teams meeting instead of sharing screen or window content only, you become a more engaging and integral part of your presentation. The following examples show how each presenter mode appears to an audience:

Use a presenter mode

Under Presenter mode , choose the mode that you want. Also, be sure that your camera is turned on.

To start your presentation, choose to share your  S creen or Window on your PC or device.

Note:  Using interactive presenter modes with PowerPoint Live will soon be available.

Note:  Presenter mode customization is available as part of the public preview program and might undergo further changes before being released publicly. To get access to this and other upcoming features, switch to  Teams public preview . 

Presenter modes also allow presenters to customize how their content will be oriented on screen and adjust the size of the video to better fit the presentation.  

Customize video display 

1. Use the  Position buttons in the preview window to direct where videos will appear in relation to the content.  

2. Enlarge or reduce video size using the Size slider. Slide the circle to the left to reduce the size of a video, or to the right to enlarge the size of a video. 

More things to know

Interactive presenter modes are only available for the desktop version of Teams.

Meeting attendees using the mobile or online versions of Teams will see a shared window or screen and presenter video separately.

When you use an interactive presenter mode, a small, moveable picture-in-picture window pops up to show you what your audience sees. If you close this window and need it again, restart the presenter mode.

WATCH: ‘No one is above the law,’ Biden says after Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity and Trump

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is seeking to put the focus squarely onto Donald Trump following his uneven debate performance last week.

Watch Biden’s remarks in the player above.

Speaking Monday after the U.S. Supreme Court ruling granting broad immunity from prosecution to Trump and other presidents, Biden said the high court’s ruling had undermined the rule of law. The court’s conservative majority ruling makes it all but certain that the Republican will not face trial in Washington ahead of the November election over his actions during the violent riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

“No one is above the law, not even the president of the United States,” Biden said from the White House.

During his brief remarks he made no mention of last week’s debate or his performance, and did not take questions.

Biden seemed relaxed and confident, striking a clear and crisp tone and looking tanned and rested — all of which was in stark contrast to his often halting performance during last week’s debate, when his face was notably pale. The president also had the benefit of a teleprompter for his remarks about the court, something he didn’t have while facing off with Trump.

“I know I will respect the limits of presidential power as I have for the three-and-a-half years, but any president, including Donald Trump, will now be free to ignore the law,” Biden said.

For all the public efforts to shift the focus away from his uneven performance that spooked donors and prompted Democratic anxiety, there have been private discussions on what more Biden could do to counteract what Americans saw during the debate, when he gave convoluted answers, trailed off at times, occasionally stared blankly and sounded raspy-voiced.

There has been talk about whether Biden should be seen more in public through town-hall-style events or interviews and press conferences, which he has generally avoided during his time in office.

But most in his orbit are waiting on more substantial polling to come back in order to assess how bad the damage was before altering course in any substantial way. That’s according to four Biden advisers who were not authorized to speak publicly about internal discussions and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Biden’s team may not alter anything at all. Many think — or hope — the fraught moment will pass, particularly after Biden’s family encouraged him to stay in the race and keep fighting during a huddle at Camp David on Sunday.

Campaign officials said Monday they had nothing to announce on new events. They said Biden would be campaigning as he has been, hitting battleground states as he has already been doing for months.

An ad released Monday was called “I Know” using clips from Biden’s post-debate North Carolina rally, where he said, “When you get knocked down, you get back up.”

Quentin Fulks, Biden’s principal deputy campaign manager, put the focus on Trump in a call with reporters, saying, “When you do see President Biden out on the trail, he will be talking about the reasons why Americans should be scared of Donald Trump, as he has been for months.”

Even before the debate, the age of the 81-year-old Democratic president had been a liability with voters, and the prime-time faceoff put the issue front-and-center before perhaps the largest audience he will have in the four months until Election Day. CNN, which held the debate, said more than 51 million people watched.

“I think his age was baked in, to a large degree, and I know he can do better than he did on Thursday night. I expected to see better. I’m not sure other voters did,” said Jennifer Palmieri, a White House communications director during the Obama administration and a spokesperson for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.

She added that, tactically, the campaign has responded by promoting Biden’s strong speech in North Carolina on Friday and by continuing to post strong fundraising numbers. Palmieri also said Biden might also want to sit for more interviews to continue to show that the debate was an anomaly.

“Their focus needs to be on getting him in front of voters that matter the most, and more interviews should be part of that. Don’t be like Trump in your own little universe,” she said. “For now, we’re early, but what they’re doing is working.”

There’s a sense that voters may now be watching Biden more closely for signs that show one way or another whether his debate debacle was a blip — whether he is, as he says, capable of doing the job.

Alan Kessler, a lawyer and member of the Biden campaign’s national finance team, has spent days calming jittery donors, telling them what he says he has personally witnessed when he’s seen the president — that he’s “lucid, strong as he’s always been.”

“To the extent it’s necessary, I’m reassuring people,” Kessler said.

Rebecca Katz, a strategist who worked with Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman’s winning campaign in 2022, saw potential parallels in Fetterman’s comeback from a shaky debate performance after he had a stroke.

Fetterman’s team highlighted especially bombastic comments his opponent made about abortion during that debate, and also had the candidate travel extensively afterward. He did lots of local television interviews to ensure voters in key markets saw him outside of clips from the debate.

“It’s not a perfect comparison but there is a blueprint for the Biden campaign,” Katz said. “You can have a rough debate night and still win.”

Biden expressed interest in doing at least one interview. At a Saturday fundraiser in East Hampton, New York, Biden said he had spoken with the broadcaster Howard Stern, who had interviewed him in April, where he answered open-ended questions mostly about his early years.

The president told the crowd he was ready for another sit-down with Stern, saying: “I had a great time on his show. And I’m actually going to take a chance in going back.”

The Democratic National Committee and Biden’s campaign, meanwhile, kept up damage control, holding an evening finance call. Over the weekend, they held calls with donors and one with dozens of committee members across the country — some of the most influential members of the party. They offered a rosy assessment of the path forward and gave no opportunity for others on the call to ask questions.

Multiple committee members on the weekend call, most granted anonymity to talk about the private discussion, described feeling like they were being asked to ignore a serious predicament.

Campaign officials have said there was no discussion “whatsoever” of Biden exiting the race nor of any staff shakeups following the debate.

Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania said he thought voters were more concerned with the issues at stake, anyway. “I’ve been at this a while, and I know his work,” Casey said.

The window of opportunity for that is shrinking anyway. The Democratic National Committee has announced that it will use a virtual roll call to formally make him the nominee before the convention begins in Chicago on Aug. 19. But when that will happen and what it will look like is still unclear.

Remote access giant TeamViewer says Russian spies hacked its corporate network

TeamViewer, the company that makes widely used remote access tools for companies, has confirmed an ongoing cyberattack on its corporate network. 

In a statement Friday , the company attributed the compromise to government-backed hackers working for Russian intelligence, known as APT29 (and Midnight Blizzard).

The Germany-based company said its investigation so far points to an initial intrusion on June 26 “tied to credentials of a standard employee account within our corporate IT environment.” 

TeamViewer said that the cyberattack “was contained” to its corporate network and that the company keeps its internal network and customer systems separate. The company added that it has “no evidence that the threat actor gained access to our product environment or customer data.” 

Martina Dier, a spokesperson for TeamViewer, declined to answer a series of questions from TechCrunch, including whether the company has the technical ability, such as logs, to determine what, if any, data was accessed or exfiltrated from its network.

TeamViewer is one of the more popular providers of remote access tools, allowing its corporate customers — including shipping giant DHL and beverage maker Coca-Cola, per its website — to access other devices and computers over the internet. The company says it has more than 600,000 paying customers and facilitates remote access to more than 2.5 billion devices around the world. 

TeamViewer is also known to be abused by malicious hackers for its ability to be used to remotely plant malware on a victim’s device. 

It’s not known how the TeamViewer employee’s credentials were compromised, and TeamViewer did not say.  

The U.S. government and security researchers have long attributed APT29 to hackers working for Russia’s foreign intelligence service, the SVR. APT29 is one of the more persistent, well-resourced government-backed hacking groups, and is known for its use of simple but effective hacking techniques — including stealing passwords — to conduct long-running stealthy espionage campaigns that rely on stealing sensitive data. 

TeamViewer is the latest tech company targeted by Russia’s SVR of late. The same group of government hackers compromised Microsoft’s corporate network earlier this year to steal emails from top executives to learn what was known about the intruding hackers themselves . Microsoft said other tech companies were compromised during the ongoing Russian espionage campaign, and U.S. cybersecurity agency CISA confirmed federal government emails hosted on Microsoft’s cloud were also stolen.

Months later, Microsoft said it was struggling to eject the hackers from its systems , calling the campaign a “sustained, significant commitment” of the Russian government’s “resources, coordination, and focus.”

The U.S. government also blamed Russia’s APT29 for the 2019-2020 espionage campaign targeting U.S. software firm SolarWinds . The cyberattack saw the mass-hacking of U.S. federal government agencies by way of planting a hidden malicious backdoor in SolarWinds’ flagship software. When the tainted software update was pushed out to SolarWinds’ customers, the Russian hackers had access to every network running the compromised software , including the Treasury, Justice Department and the Department of State.

To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race

By The Editorial Board

The editorial board is a group of opinion journalists whose views are informed by expertise, research, debate and certain longstanding values . It is separate from the newsroom.

President Biden has repeatedly and rightfully described the stakes in this November’s presidential election as nothing less than the future of American democracy.

Donald Trump has proved himself to be a significant jeopardy to that democracy — an erratic and self-interested figure unworthy of the public trust. He systematically attempted to undermine the integrity of elections. His supporters have described, publicly, a 2025 agenda that would give him the power to carry out the most extreme of his promises and threats. If he is returned to office, he has vowed to be a different kind of president, unrestrained by the checks on power built into the American political system.

Mr. Biden has said that he is the candidate with the best chance of taking on this threat of tyranny and defeating it. His argument rests largely on the fact that he beat Mr. Trump in 2020. That is no longer a sufficient rationale for why Mr. Biden should be the Democratic nominee this year.

At Thursday’s debate, the president needed to convince the American public that he was equal to the formidable demands of the office he is seeking to hold for another term. Voters, however, cannot be expected to ignore what was instead plain to see: Mr. Biden is not the man he was four years ago.

The president appeared on Thursday night as the shadow of a great public servant. He struggled to explain what he would accomplish in a second term. He struggled to respond to Mr. Trump’s provocations. He struggled to hold Mr. Trump accountable for his lies, his failures and his chilling plans. More than once, he struggled to make it to the end of a sentence.

Mr. Biden has been an admirable president. Under his leadership, the nation has prospered and begun to address a range of long-term challenges, and the wounds ripped open by Mr. Trump have begun to heal. But the greatest public service Mr. Biden can now perform is to announce that he will not continue to run for re-election.
