Large Gallery not working
Hello,
I'm a teacher using Teams. Outside of a few issues with Teams that need to be added ASAP, I had a major issue in that I could not use Large Gallery today. I planned to have my students take a quiz, and when clicking Large Gallery, nothing changed. I exited out of the meeting, same issue. Exited again, same issue. I restarted my computer, same issue. The next period I tried again, the same issue. I then tried Together Mode, same issue, nothing changed.
I don't understand how this could have happened. I went through class as normal, all students had their webcams on. If this is a glitch, it's definitely not acceptable. There needs to be a scroll function on "Gallery" so we don't NEED to use Large Gallery if things go wrong.
Also things Teams needs to fix
- Aforementioned Scrolling in Gallery
- Ability to delete student posts (A student posted solutions in our team posts, I could not delete it )
- Weighted Grading
- Posting Files to multiple classes
- Ability to post Powerpoint presentations without them being editable by students (yes, I changed permissions)
- Ability to organize Assignments into folders (and to mass create folders for different periods).
Things Microsoft Forms needs to fix
- Ability to add images to multiple choice CHOICES, not just the original question.
- Ability to zoom into images
- Ability to view student progress if not turned in
Things Microsoft Class Notebook needs to do
- Ability to mass delete student sections
- Ability for online users to create new sub-pages, and anything that right-click on the program does.
While I find Teams to be better than G. Classroom, Teams is nowhere good enough as a teaching platform. It needs to be far better since it is expensive.

.Nick_Hale Our whole school is unable to use the large gallery both yesterday and today. I agree that this unacceptable. We are meeting with young kids Prek3-4th grade and we NEED to see those faces. I can't find anything on Microsoft that is addressing this.
I hope it comes back soon!

I have the same issue. Large Gallery had been working before. I updated the Settings to allow the new teams experience. Then today, I was in a meeting with 11 people, tried to select Large Gallery, only now it showed as Large Gallery (Preview). When I selected it, the screen still showed only 9 people and the video quality decreased/was fuzzy. When I returned to regular Gallery view, the video was crisp and clear again.
This happened today, 8/25/2020 between 9:30-11 AM eastern.
Was there an update recently?
Thanks,
Christine

Same here. Yesterday it worked fine. Today some users have the option. Others no.
