Video Layout - show the name of the participant in their window
Hi,
Just wondering if it would be possible to enable people's names to show in their window during a video call? Something like the lady in the middle has in the image I attached.
Thanks!

This isn't currently a feature, if it is one that you would like to see added please add it as a suggestion at 0he official UserVoice - https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com
As an alternative, you may want to use the Attendees list. In it, the user(s) speaking are highlighted.
Brad Groux How do I get the Attendee list to show (as in your screengrab below)? I only see the people's faces and it does not keep their full name up. During a live Teams meeting, I would like to see the list of all people currently attending the TEAMS meeting (in real time).
Brad Groux Any update on this feature? All the other big video chat apps have the ability to show names overlaid on video panes- Webex, Zoom, Duo... even Skype has this feature. Why doesn't Teams have it as well? I've posted on Uservoice too but it doesn't seem to be getting much attention there so I guess it probably won't happen if it's not already on the dev roadmap.
Brad Groux Wait, I have the opposite problem - how do I turn the names OFF? I'm in a meeting with 20 participants, all of whom I know, and it is annoying that I see their names in each video pane. It's cluttered and redundant. How do I turn OFF the display of names?
- How do you get this, are you in Zoom? I can do it in Zoom. Some of us have aphasia and really cannot remember names, this would be so important to get.
