MS Teams Video Calls Maximum limit
Hi,
Currently you will only see four active speakers, that will be increased to nine soon (May). So if you are 15 people in the meeting the 4 (9 soon) latest active speakers will be shown with their video.
If you have a group chat you will only be able to start a video conference from that if you are 20 participants or less in that group chat.
If you schedule a meeting or invite to a meeting you can be 250 participants in that meeting.
Hello, I want to set up a Teams video call with > 30 participants, but only 2-4 at a time shall actively use Video & Audio, all others shall turn cameras off and go on mute.
Does someone know if that works?
Alex_Zwetz You can set that video should be turned off for attendees.
- Hi Linus,
Just to informed you that we'd see 9 participants in a video conference yesterday.
Thank you for the updates to make 9 video instead of 4. Very much appreciated!
Hopefully it will add more. 🙂
Thanks! Hi Linus,
Actually my problem is the opposite :=). Now that they rolled out the 9 video support, Microsoft Surface Go is struggling with decoding and displaying all videos. This results in system being very sluggish and unresponsive. I was wondering if there is a way to limit the number of videos (i.e. 4 as before) that would appear simultaneously on the screen.
atemizel No, I don't think you can change the UI to 2x2 but you could pin a video to only see that video, maybe not a solution.
LinusCansby Thanks!
I'll try this, could be useful in some cases.
