  2. It’s simple with the screen sharing feature in Teams. Make meetings more than a conversation Whether training a new employee, brainstorming with the digital whiteboard, or presenting at a company-wide town hall, screen sharing improves communication and helps keep meetings focused.

Indeed you can use Teams for sharing your screen and providing remote control to third parties, however, I won't recommend it.

Microsoft Teams is a convenient place for holding chats, but you also have the capability to share your desktop with others to host engaging and interactive meetings. So today we’ll show you the steps you need to share your desktop with others!

The first step to sharing your desktop in Teams is to start or continue a chat with a contact. Then, click the Share screen icon in the top right. You have the option to share your entire desktop or just the window of an individual program. The contact on the other end will need to accept your sharing invite.
