Move the participants list when someone is sharing their screen
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.

PDostiyar Ok, that makes it marginally better than the original situation. Originally the viewport was about 585 pixels high, now it is 625 pixels. So it is a small improvment. But still viewing someone's 1920x1080 screen is mostly illegible. Where is the zoom function. Not everyone as a bigger screen than to other person.
And I still have this control list fixed on top, how do I get that back to floating?
Why did they hide these settings so much? What's wrong with a simple context menu when you right-click the mouse. That's intuitive and easy to find. UI design seems to be so overrated these days.
All in all it is still not a very good experience. Previously we were using webex in our company and that worked much better.
