This is what we see when the people whose initials are shown dont actually have their camera on.
Tamara100wrote that "yet others in the meeting can see all the participants on camera. ". gmoseley - if those people didn't have their camera on, others wouldn't be able to see them either.
My son had the same problem today in his Teams class meeting. I don't know what he did but suddenly he could only see the teacher on video - everyone else showed up as either initials or static image in a circle. Everyone else could see everyone on video. Please help! 
Thanks!
helloworldkitty Did you get a resolution? I'm having the same problem
Daniel_BlumbergYes, a friend told me that it is a sign of insufficient bandwidth. I upgraded to faster internet package with my provider and the issue got resolved.

Is this bandwidth issue the most likely reason/a fix for others?
we have had this happen with multiple users on a large call with no visible commonality between them or difference to those that can see all incoming video. The user above that responded to say this is what you see when cameras are off is correct but not relevant here since all users in my example have their cameras on (and I believe the same for others in this thread). Is there any response from Microsoft on this elsewhere?
