    Same problem for us - we analyse the recordings and it's made this really difficult. The temporary workaround is to spotlight the other speaker (right click on their video for the menu options). This doesn't affect the live meeting but then the switching does not occur in the recording. The only downside to this is that the spotlighted video in the recording is much larger than the other(s).

lelafondrouillard Squarepeg Adam Young I've been back and forth with the break fix team for several weeks. Given advice about using Pins which clearly doesn't work. Had to send them videos showing this before they would believe me. Spotlighting is the only 'solution' I'm afraid as this is suddenly a new feature. This is what I received after several exchanges -  use the link to make our case. We're building a Teams App to work around it completely. Thanks Microsoft!

We recently released a feature called Presenter Modes in April 2022; here is a link to the Microsoft Roadmap:

 

I had the chance to also engage our next tier of support, and they agree that this is what you are running into.  This is a new feature and Microsoft Teams is going to behave this way for the foreseeable future.

 

We are not going to be able to do anything from a Break-Fix point of view.  What you can do is leave feedback for the Developers by going to this link:

 

Because this is by design, why don't we go ahead and close out your ticket.

DavidN68 lelafondrouillard Squarepeg We have given up. This is so frustrating that they roll out things that can make a big change to a business process without the option to disable or opt out of it. I get that you need to improve the product but give us an option not to use a new "feature".

Going to put in feedback for the developers but I don't have much hope.
