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!

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?
- j2brysonJan 10, 2022Copper ContributorHow 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.

j2bryson If you are using Teams Desktop App the name will be at the bottom left of each video.
