So, did this "user voice" thing produce any useful results?

 

It's 2020 and "the desktop" continues is slide into inevitability.

No unfortunately, I only required to use MT once on my ipad for a job interview and it proved too difficult to test so I gave up and used WhatsApp instead.

disappointing result for MT, won’t bother with it again.

Thanks for the follow up though.
Cheers

    Hi all,

    The uservoice has received some votes. It's takes time to build momentum. The team at Microsoft is working on a lot of prioritised features at the moment such as custom backgrounds, increasing the 2 x 2 view to 3 x 3, yammer integration, tasks integration and dozen of other things. I wish I could say that test calling in IOS and IPad is prioritised but I don't know, and it's unlikely.

    The team - engineering and product teams regularly review uservoice. It's what they use for the development process. If you were to open a call to Microsoft today they would say to open a uservoice for it if it doesn't exist. I know that's scant consolation but it's where it needs to be

    Best, Chris

      Hi  ChrisHoardMVP ,

       

      For Teams on an ipad, how can you pin the presenters/host video, so it is the only video that you see?

       

      Please do not make 3x3 the default view. My daughter is trying to watch the teacher presenting, and it is already annoying to only be able to see in 2x2 format and the teachers video is on the top left, quite small and not the best for teacher/classroom envirnment. We need the ability to switch between whatever view we would like 1x 2x2 or 3x3.

      Thanks

        WackyWix - right click (tap on an iPad) on the teacher and click 'pin' - the teacher's camera feed will be pinned to the main screen (larger) and the others will be part of a small grid view underneath - hope that helps
