Teams increasing video layout to 49 visible participants
Timkim Hello! You're absolutely right. 3x3 is the max simultaneously video layout right now, but as you can tell from the topic this is going to increase to 7x7. No further info though. Talked to a Microsoft representative today and she gave me the same info that's already out there "It's coming, can't say when".
Timkim I'm a math teacher and my school district has chosen Teams and we are only able to see 9 students. It bad that I can't see what the other 16 are up to during class. I hope Microsoft gets this fixed quickly!
mathteacher2539 Hi, you need to enable it from within the Teams settings "Turn on new meeting experience".
For more info https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=65333
"Large Gallery is being made available as a public preview feature and uses a new flexible design to deliver a network-optimized client video experience that works on multiple device categories. During the preview, the Large Gallery experience will be available for desktop Teams client (Windows, Mac) and mobile Teams client (iOS, Android) users. In order to take advantage of this new view, users will need to turn on the new multi-window meeting experience and must have ten (10) or more participants in an active meeting with video turned on."
ChristianBergstromHi, and thanks for the update. Have you been able to test is out? if so how is the functionality and quality?
@mathteacher2539 If you get it to work with your students let us know how well it works for you and what issues you ran into, if any.Timkim Hey, I'm afraid not. Just back from vacation and my meetings up until now hasn't involved enough people to use it.
