Gallery Views for Guests in a Meeting
I work at a University and majority of the people we work with do not have Teams. We often create meetings and share the link so they can join as a guest. When we do this, the guests can only see the person speaking on their screen. Is there a way or upcoming feature that allows Guests to have access to Gallery View to see more/all people in a meeting?
No worries, worth also double checking this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/unsupported-browsers#:~:text=People%20who%20use%20the%20Teams%20web%20app%20on,can%20view%20presented%20content%20through%20image-based%20screen%20sharing.
As if not on a supported browser there are further limitations.
Below are limitations in supported browsers, which differ per browser.

Basically for me you will get the best experience in Edge Chromium but I am biased 🙂
As for the Gallery view in web, I don't think there is an option like say in the new meeting experience of the Desktop client.
There is this User Voice that might be worth a vote:

Also checked the Road Map and no dice as of yet.
