VIEW ALL PARTICIPANTS IN VIDEO MEETING
- Mar 30, 2020
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.

Tugsim Updated!
"I sincerely thank everyone for your patience and enthusiasm. I know know those of you who haven’t received 3×3 view are anxiously awaiting this popular feature request. As you know, it is important for us to roll out gradually as we monitor signals to ensure the quality of our service remains high. This particular rollout has required a little more time than expected. At this point, we look to be on track to complete enabling for all users in the general public ring by the end of this week.
As I’ve said in past posts, we are continuing work to increase this limit even further."

Think someone "put it on the Laterbase" as we engineers say...

Tugsim Haha. Well, I have an update from the product team.
"I wanted to clarify that the 3x3 video is currently rolling out, and we expect it to be enabled for 100% of users in the Public ring by May 15th."
*fingers crossed* 😉

I wholeheartedly agree (or whichever way is misspelled 😁)
