Very disappointed with delay to 3x3 video on Teams
standrewskinson Hello Lee! I understand your frustration, but this must be a typo from Microsoft. I will contact them so it can be sorted out.
The 3x3 release also has a different ID https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=63341
ChristianBergstrom you are right. Item https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=57294 refers to:
Microsoft Teams - Multi-Window Meetings and Calling experiences
Multi-window experiences are coming to Teams meetings and calling. Users will have the ability to pop out meetings and calling into separate windows to help them optimize their workflow. These experiences can be turned on directly within Teams for PC and Mac clients.
While item https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=63341 refers to the 3x3 video experience:
Microsoft Teams - increase in the number of simultaneous videos in Teams meetings
We are increasing the number of participants who can be viewed simultaneously on the Teams meeting stage from 4 to 9. This new experience optimizes for attendees who have enabled video and places the remaining audio-only participants below the meeting stage. To provide a high audio and video quality experience, the layout logic will consider user bandwidth and alter the number of videos shown to provide the best meeting experience. We'll be gradually rolling this out to customers near the end of April and expect the rollout to be completed in mid-May.
But today's communication from Microsoft I received in the email says:
"
We are pleased to announce that we will be enabling users to be able to view meetings and calls in separate windows along with the other recently announced features.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&featureid=57294
When this will happen
We will be rolling this out in June.
[How this will affect your organization]
Once available, users will be able to view meetings and calls in separate windows from the main Microsoft Teams client. Additionally, meeting and call controls such as mute, video, chat, leave and others will now be located at the top of the meeting window so that they are always available and never block the underlying content. This new experience will also include recently announced features such as 3x3 video, raise hands, and custom backgrounds.
This will roll-out OFF by default and users will have the ability to turn on the new experience via the user setting: General > Turn on new meetings and calling experiences."
If you get a clarification from Microsoft, please tell us the response.
Thanks
