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

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.
With 12 people all with cameras on we can't get large grid to work at our school. Any ideas?
You should be able to use LG and Together, regardless of other people's settings.
The new default is 9 windows. Once you have 10 (allegedly), the LG option should become available. I'm one of the people experiencing trouble with it not working this week, when I had been using it before.
Thanks,
CK
