How does Microsoft Teams decide which users will *remain* onscreen during a video call?
DustinHarrisAccording to this https://support.office.com/en-us/article/adjust-your-view-in-a-teams-meeting-9825091c-0e7d-4c2b-95f5-eba644f19175 "Teams tries to anticipate what you’ll want to see in a meeting. When someone starts speaking, we show them. When someone shares content, we show that."
You can pin a video:
To focus on a particular video, right click and select Pin. The video will be pinned to your view regardless of who's talking. You can pin as many videos as will fit on your screen. If you change your mind, right click again and hit Unpin.
Tomas_S This is quite helpful. I will have another large meeting later this week that will be a prime opportunity to try the tips from the article you posted.
My best guess as to why people remain in the 2x2 grid without talking is that their mic isn't muted, so Teams is interpreting the background noise at their location as talking. I need to watch the Meeting Participants list to prove this theory.
