Move the participants list when someone is sharing their screen

When someone is sharing their screen in a meeting, I have a participants list with large tiles below the shared screen. This makes the shared screen very small and due to the scaling very hard to read. Especially when someone is sharing something in HD and my screen is not.

I'm sure I was able to move the participants list to the side of the screen and even make it a floating window, but I can't do that anymore it seems?

See the screenshot. It's the three tiles with FW and MH in the bottom right corner.

 

How can I either suppress the participants list or move it somewhere else?

    MaartenDeenI totally agree with you on the new experience moving the toolbar/controls to the top but if you have turned on the new experience mode and have a check on the focus mode... it does remove anything from the bottom and only focuses on the contents.

     

    for more I have attached the screenshots before and after the focus mode, you can check the images and provide your feedback.

    MaartenDeen  this is possible with the new meeting experience turn on as it gives you another option called Focus which the focus is on the slides shared.

     

    give it a try using the new meeting experience option turn on...

      PDostiyar ThereseSolimeno That does not fix the problem, in fact, it makes it worse. I made a screenshot again, it does not fix the problem because the attendee list is still fixed at the bottom, and it makes it worse because the meeting control list (Request Control, Leave, etc) is now fixed at the top (where it was floating before) giving even less room for the screen that is being shared.

      So the viewport is even smaller now.

      This "new meeting experience" does not fix anything and it is worse than the "old".

       

      What we need is the possibility to undock the attendee list and what we also need is a zoom function so that you can see the screen that is being shared at 100% or any zoom the user wants.
