VIEW ALL PARTICIPANTS IN VIDEO MEETING
We have 8 people on a daily video meeting in Teams. Default setup gives 3 or 4 video screens and then rest only appear as small icons in the bottom corner. We need it so all 8 can be seen with th...
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.

- How can I implement this view?
When will this upgrade happen?LinusCansby
- Hopefully they get the feature released before the restrictions are removed and we are all back at work!!
I am a school teacher in New Zealand. We are a microsoft school. I love TEAMS, but I need to be able to see ALL 26 of my students faces. They are 7 year olds and as a teacher body language is SUPER important for assessing understanding.
Currently, being forced to use Zoom due to Team's short falls. Teams also does not give me the ability to fully control mute/unmute, another crucial feature for educators.
Hey, I saw the multi view of your participants on a video call. We are trying to do this, but we only have the active speaker on the screen, with the initials of the other people at the bottom. Please, how did you do this? LinusCansby
Matt44 Currently you will only be able to see 4 participant videos, soon you will be able to see 9 video streams. You have to use the desktop client, not the web client.
- Any ideas what was used to do this?
Thanks! LinusCansby I hope this isn't all they are working on. Seeing nine people would be as useless to me as before. I need to see 20-25. I will definitely push our powers that be to let us back on Zoom with strict security guidelines.
How do You install to view 4 or more participants in a video meeting?
Thanks for the answer.
Wil_Janssen At the moment the our only way to make this (more than 4)* happen is to vote and post on the Teams UserVoice and literally beg Microsoft to implement this basic functionality:
😞
is there a button/icon to press so that i can toggle to the view of more than just my own video?
I am a new user. I am currently teaching at home due to the Coronavirus pandemic. My screen can not show all the participants ( four or nine related to the discussion below). I can only see one participant and myself on the right bottom. I have more than four participants during the meeting. Is there any setting for that to allow me to see all participants?
Please help.
Jenny.
Jenny_T1450 Do you use the desktop client? If not download that and use see if you get four video streams in your meetings.
