Teams meeting only 4 out of 5 attendees show on screen

Copper Contributor

I have a recurring Teams meeting with 5 attendees.  This week, Teams started showing only 4 attendees at a time with an arrow to move to a second screen to see the 5th attendee.  All attendees have their video on.  Large gallery view is not an option, because we do not have 10 people.  I'm not sure why it changed.  Any suggestions on how to get all 5 attendees to show on the main screen would be appreciated.

welcome to the Microsoft community, my name is Recep I'll be happy to help you today.

I understand that teams meeting only 4 out of 5 attendees show on screen, please note that in the new meeting experience when I believe there are 10 or more participants, regardless of how many have a video feed you will have the option to switch into large gallery view.

You also get together mode 5 or more, which I highly recommend checking out.

To have the new meeting experience you will need to ensure your teams client is upto date. Normally happens automatically. Click on your profile icon/ initials, settings, check the box for new meeting experience and restart.

A telltale sign that you might already be using the new experience and therefore just need to choose the different options when in a meeting is if the meeting starts in a separate window.

I also want you to try the below and revert with an update.
1. Swap gallery mode
2. Swap to Together mode
3. Turn off all incoming video and then turn on again

Thank you. I ended up switching to speaker mode. Please let me know how to mark this post as solved. I do not see that option.
