Pinning and unpinning host on Teams
I would be grateful if someone could please help me. In a teams meeting is it possible for the host to change what the participants are seeing? I would like to start the meeting with everyone able to see each other and say hello but once the meeting starts I would like to be able to pin myself to be full screen so the participants can only see me. I would then like to unpin myself from full screen at the end of the session to allow the participants to see one another again. I have found a way for the participants to manually do this themselves however the people I am working with have disabilities so this is not possible. Therefore I as the host need to be able to change between pinning myself full screen and back to the normal multi participant view. Is this possible? It is possible on Zoom but I am yet to find a way to do this on Teams.
verity-20 Hello Verity, there's a very similar UserVoice request that you can vote on to stay updated as status changes. In other words it's not possible today I'm afraid.
Hope that answers your question.
Btw, here's the road map for the feature!
