Together mode and large gallery functionalities in Teams
Hi, Need some advises here. Do the user need to turn on the check box below for seeing together mode and large gallery buttons? Is there a way to make it automatically? İs there any requir...
- 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
Hi,
1. Users have to turn on the new meeting experience to be able to use the large gallery (7x7 videos). In August this will be turned on automatic for all users (might be delayed).

2. You as a participant have to be in a tenant that got these features to be able to use it, so if you have them and are invited to a meeting in a Teams tenant without large gallery view, you call still use large gallery view but the organiser will not be able to use it.
I have tried turning the new meeting experiences on and it does show large gallery option. But the option is disable and am unable to click on it. Please help me out.
