Although I speak I never appear in the foreground!

Hello

I suddenly have the following issue. Even when I speak during a meeting I never appear on the screen. Nothing changes whether I have my camera turned on or off. Everyone else in the meeting appears normally when he talks even they use their pc or the phone. I didn't have this problem when I started using Teams. But suddenly I started to have this problem. I uninstalled and installed again the application but it didn't solve my problem. I am using Teams in my laptop with the latest edition of Windows 10.

  • Hi Christos_Haritos 

     

    In case you want to be visible in the Active Speaker then you need to be speaking for at least 20 seconds continuously post that Microsoft Teams Application would be displaying you as the most active speaker in the Teams Meeting.

     

    In addition you also need to ensure that you have not pinned anyone's specific video in the Teams Meeting as this would not allow you to view the Active Speaker Mode in the Microsoft Teams Meeting.

     

    With Regards,

      Thank you for the very useful information! Actually I realized that others see me when I speak during a meeting although I don't. But that doesn't bother me at all. The misunderstanding was that as I don't see myself when I speak nobody else does. Thanks again.
