Together mode and large gallery functionalities in Teams
- Hi Ricky_Su
1.) The user needs to check the box for the new meeting experience which is under the settings. In the top right of teams, click on user picture > settings > Turn on new meeting experience. Once turned on you'll have the ability to select large gallery and together mode. Currently this isn't turned on by default. Neither is large gallery or together mode, the use has to select them once in the meeting. There is no centralised controls at the moment to set them as default for users
2.) There is no prerequisites in that they work in private meetings, channel meetings or meet now. Together mode AFAIK works with any number of attendees I have seen it done with at least 4 people in the meeting. Large Gallery mode - 3 x 3 is done by how many people are in the meeting but also Teams works out if your bandwidth can cope with it. In other words if you have restricted or congested bandwidth you may not be able to see it
Hope that answers your question
Best, Chris

I enabled all of that . I had 19 people on my session and i attended another with 43 , still was disabled
I am also having the same issue. Currently in a meeting with 29 people. Only 6 have video enabled. The large Gallary option is greyed out. BryanSpex
- I am also facing the same issue even if there is more than 10 people the Large gallery preview is grayed out , I asked all the participants to open their videos then the option became visible and even after they turned it off the option is visible and stayed there .
Hi Therese,
I see your reply was marked as the best answer to the original question in this thread.
There are several of us who have used Large Gallery before and have posted that we are no longer able to select it, especially this week. Wondering if there was a change/update that affected this function. We have the new meeting experience checked. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Regards,
Christine
ChrisHoardMVP Our school is having a horrible time getting our classes into large gallery view. We tried trouble shooting it today. We did everything we were supposed to do and it still won't work.
- I'm having the same issue. I checked the box, restarted, and it still won't let me see all my kids
ChrisHoardMVP I am yet to get the large gallery to work. Is it because most people are in and out with the video? Are users required to be on video in order for large gallery to work? I can usually see the together mode, but the large gallery is always greyed out.
Melissa Garcia For Together mode you need to be 5 participants in the meeting, you plus 4 others. But all participants don't have to activate video. I've seen pictures of a empty together mode background... 😞
For Large Gallery View you have to be 10 participants in the meeting before you will be able to activate it.
Both Together Mode and Large gallery view will be greyed out until you are 5 or 10 participants in the meeting.

Is it 4 including me or 4 excluding me?
ChrisHoardMVP Just to confirm that the Together mode is only enabled once you have at least 4 participants. With less than 4 people the Together mode, Large gallery mode and Focus is greyed out
Deleted We had 4 on today but still had that experience (LG & Together Greyed out). Is it min 4 where everyone has the new meeting experience enabled or should I be able to use it regardless?
timmoore72 You have be 5 people in the meeting so you self + 4 others and then you should be able to activate Together Mode. When you are ten people in the meeting you will be able to activate Large Gallery View.
