Teams Mobile App - Camera Zoom
Djcarr and Russell Moir
This is the solution. The person on the PC has to click the right mouse button on the screen of the meeting and select fit to frame and this solves the problem. So the people with the mobile Teams app doesn't have to do anything to make that clear.
Russell MoirHey folks!
For what it's worth, I recently figured out that turning your phone horizontal fixes this issue. The landscape version shows a more true-to-life picture than the crazy zoom of portrait mode. Would still like to have control over the vertical video, but landscape worked great!
Casey675 when i do this, if the person on the other side of the teams call is on a computer, then i am sideways.
Thanks for this, mighty helpful as I certainly prefer being mobile. Now I know what's happening I can turn my phone landscape. Technically I wonder why this is happening.
Casey675 This is definitely true of landscape mode, but the portrait mode zoom problem is still not a good one and is the way most people tend to hold their phones 😞
Just want to point out that I am experiencing this issue as well in Teams meetings with folks who are joining on their android phones. I can 'pinch' them into proper zoom when I'm conferencing on my ipad, but within seconds usually Teams snaps them back to ultra zoom closeup!
I opened a case with Microsoft (I encourage you to do the same) and am getting absolutely nowhere!
They told me it is by design, but then said they are working to resolve the problem... HUH ??
- I'll give this a go. Didnt even think of trying this... given its a phone and its comfier when holding to hold in portrait (or easier when leaning it against something!)
