Please! Microsoft! I'm a teacher on my first day of online teaching and was so disappointed that in team meetings you can only see, at most, 4 students at a time. In Zoom, you can see everyone (and all of the students can see each other) but my district has only approved MS teams...please, it can't be that difficult to allow more video streaming per meeting. SOON, like today please!

I am a teacher as well. I have 160 students, yet I can only see 4 at a time. We are in a crucial time where our students need to see faces of their peers to help support metal health. Zoom allows you to see a lot more than 4, but not district approved. Please please please work on this feature!!!

  Done - thank you - this is such an important feature. I feel as if Microsoft is way BEHIND in times on this technology feature, especially since so many businesses and schools have now switched to working from home in order to remain safe and to practice social distancing Derek_Hart
