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.

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.

MaartenDeen well, since Microsoft Teams is new it has been only in the market for 3 years and has got great and many features added either by the product team, Microsoft engineer, a suggestion from MVP, and speakers, and great users using the UserVoice.
I am sure the features you are looking for some of them might be added to the road map and most will be in the Uservoice section https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/status/3294862
if you know or need something to be added you can also put a Uservoice for it.
Here is a Uservoice I posted if you like you can vote for it.

PDostiyar There does not seem to be much progress with that. There has been a suggestion for a zoom function for 3,5 years. I mean, this is something so basic and it still hasn't been made?
Looks like Microsoft is doing the Google. Everything is beta and unfinished until it the plug is pulled.
It is more that people get tired with suggesting things that should be in there at release than that they don't complain because it is such a Great App (which it just isn't, and 3 years development suggest it was really crap when it was released).

MaartenDeenas we all know each company has its own goal and priority it corrects that they hear Uservoices but mostly they priorities things, sometimes an option would be easy and simple in one product but may have other dependencies with other products so it might not be that simple to turn it on or off, but I can truly understand and respect your view there....
