Mikehopkins18 thanks for adding this! It's ridiculous how archaic Teams is compared to other video meeting services! Hell... there are free services with better user experiences!

We all want this feature in Teams.... it's a bit rough to call it "archaic". Teams is a totally different product than Zoom, it is not a stand alone video conference tool. Each product has its strengths and weaknesses, for example no one is raising security as a concern with Teams.

    Agreed Rob - it was actually quite exciting seeing the 5th person appear on a meeting yesterday, then the 6th, then the 7th, and 8th but .... there were only 8 others in the meeting so I am still waiting for total fulfilment!
    Got to celebrate the little things as well ...

  No security concerns because we’re not posting passwords on social media like those Zoom users. Teams needs to be at least like Webex For meetings and it’s not.
