Hi lindsaybarbeau

No worries, worth also double checking this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/unsupported-browsers#:~:text=People%20who%20use%20the%20Teams%20web%20app%20on,can%20view%20presented%20content%20through%20image-based%20screen%20sharing.

As if not on a supported browser there are further limitations.

Below are limitations in supported browsers, which differ per browser.

Basically for me you will get the best experience in Edge Chromium but I am biased 🙂

As for the Gallery view in web, I don't think there is an option like say in the new meeting experience of the Desktop client.

There is this User Voice that might be worth a vote:

Also checked the Road Map and no dice as of yet.

Thanks

HenryPhillipsNimbitech Thanks Henry! I guess my follow up question is--can people using the web app see gallery view? We don't want our outside guests to have to download Teams and just access the meeting in the web app.
