Allow control in Skype Screen Sharing

Skype Screen Sharing does not allow you to request control or relinquish control by default.  I was wondering if there was a way to do this with an add-on or something?  

It would be faster and less trouble than TeamViewer because when you are on a Skype call and you bring up TeamViewer before letting the person go on the Skype call, it causes all sorts of issues.

A Skype plugin that will perform this function is very necessary.  Assistance is greatly appreciated.

actually i would recommend Skype before reading the 2nd paragraph as basically TeamViewer also supports voice communication while providing screen sharing and remote control.

what are the issues of Skype for you?

If you are on a Skype call and bring up TeamViewer at the same time, you get allot of feedback noise which makes the voice communication impossible to continue with.
i would use TeamViewer to talk instead of Skype while in a TV session. as you are already connected via TV, what's the point to use another software to talk?

anyway, just regarding the noise issue, have you double checked if TV's voice communication has been disabled while using Skype at the same time?
yeah. I agree that I should use TeamViewer to talk unless I am already in the middle of a conversation and transition into it. That's where we run into problems. I do not know how to set TeamViewer to not use the microphone while in a Skype session.I think if I knew how to do that, that would solve it.
please see below the screenshot for the VoIP controls of Skype, you can mute the microphone and speaker anytime during a TV session.

Thanks. The problem is setting it like that so that there isn't a problem when you first connect. It's unprofessional to have to correct that in some situations.
