Video Conferencing - how to know if my video is one of the 4 visible
RealTime_M365 I appreciate this feedback, but it leads me to assume that the real answer to my question is that Teams doesn't identify the 'active speakers' in any way? What we've noticed is that sometimes people become part of the 4 active speakers because of ruffling papers or something, but they are unaware of becoming visible to everyone. We have other people who start talking, don't realize they're on mute, but they don't realize that people can't see them.
My question was if Teams has a way of identifying to users when they are an 'active speaker' and one of the 4 visible people? I've wondered this too as I've started speaking, know that people can then see me, but I don't see myself as one of the 4...I still see 4 other speakers on my screen. Am I supposed to see myself appear as one of the 4 screens when I speak? Is there a way to make that happen?
eprucciI have the same question. Putting it simply - How do I know if I am on screen when I am on a call. The responses are helpful but do I take it that there is currently no way of knowing what the other participants are seeing? Thanks
This is one of the things I find frustrating with Teams video. Sometimes I want to indicate something visual to the speaker, a nod of the head or a smile of agreement, but there is no way to know if they can even see me. I also use Zoom and Jitsi which both do this well - I can always see that I am seen by others.
It would be nice if Teams also provided a way to let us know RHappy25
