Right, lots in this thread to unpack.
1. The 4 video view will work in the desktop app on Windows, Mac, Linux or the mobile app on Apple or Android. It is not possible in the browser. I don't believe this is likely to change in any useful time period.
2. The 9 video view is in development, and Microsoft have heard loud and clear from MVPs that it's important. As far as I know it won't be here during April.
3. The view you see will always be the students that talked most recently. If you keep your students muted and unmute to speak it shouldn't be confusing to work out who is speaking.
4. As the teacher you can select any of the students in your meeting to view their video by clicking on the ... next to their name in the list of attendees and selecting pin, once you have finished unpin to get back to active speakers.
4. Your school districts are probably wise to not permit the use of Zoom, they have a responsibility to not allow your student data to be accessed by third parties or several other risks. Look up zoom bombing if you think it'll be fine, or when zoom were sending data to Facebook without permission, or when hackers worked out how to access private meetings.
5. Teams has very good controls to allow you to keep order during a meeting, controlling who can speak, present etc. It's harder to achieve this in Zoom. Tips in my video attached.

Thanks for sharing the picture of 3x3 screen's participants. I would like to ask when this function is available for use on TEAMS. It will be great if we can view all participants in video meeting.
Many thanks,

No date communicated for this, so it just wait and see.
- andym888Mar 20, 2020Copper ContributorI understand there is a big update coming at the end of April? Maybe included then?

Please tell me the update will be sooner than April ...
I am using this for my entire class and need it for 25-30 students. What can be done so that I can see and monitor all my students?

I can see only presenters video while conducting a Microsoft teams meeting and I have already istalled a desktop version of the app.
