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 the member speaking being a larger window and the others still visible in video, but in smaller tiles. (similar to how it looks in Zoom) Is it possible to reconfigure settings?

How to Add new invites to meeting in teams without sending invite to all existing attendees?
Using the Teams Calendar function: Before a meeting is started, there is a need to add invitees to an existing meeting. Is there way to add the invitee so only the new invitee receives the invitation. Currently, when this function is attempted, all of the invites receive the meeting invitation. If you use Outlook Calendar, it gives you the option to update only the new invitees or all invitees. I would appreciate any assistance you can provide. Thanks.

MS Teams Select Background outside of conference call
Is there a way in MS Teams to change or 'try on' different backgrounds before or without starting a new meeting? I have been able to upload backgrounds and test them during conference calls, but have not been able to view them outside of meetings.

How to add new background images in Teams for personal use
How can I add additional background images in Teams? I'm using both apps, one for personal use and one for work. I need to add new background effect to the teams for personal use but there isn't a button for that. I also tried accessing the images via a folder `%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds` but there are only images from the work version of Teams. So how should I add new image to the personal one? Where are background images for that version stored?

In the desktop and web version, calendar app does not appear on the left hand side for me. I cannot schedule meetings in team. Stuck and need some help! I have attached screenshots.

Chat button missing in a Teams Meeting?
Howdy, We had a Teams Meeting with around 150 people and a bunch of people didn't have the Chat button to click in the action bar to open the side panel. I had the issue and accidentally left the meeting and went back in and then I had the button. After the meeting was over, lots of people reported they didn't have the chat button so they couldn't submit questions to the meeting. Does anyone know if this is a known issue or why it might have happened and if there's a way to make it not happen again? 🙂 Thanks.

Profile Picture is not syncing for team meetings.
Dear reader, I go to high school. My laptop is school property. When I enter Microsoft Teams, I changed my profile picture to something new instead of my previous one. Everything synced in two days. Except teams meetings. Whenever I meet, its still displays the old picture. When I DM someone, it shows the new one. It already synced for all of my other Office 365 apps, just not when I meet in Microsoft Teams.

Changing the organiser of a Teams Meeting
At the moment as the organiser you can dial in external colleagues (participants), when they are unable to join via MS Teams and add via e-mail address within the meeting. If you are booking a meeting on behalf of someone else (and not attending), are there any plans to allow the Organiser to be changed, so the chair for example has the ability to add further participants (external), along with all the other functionality the organiser has during a meeting? Thank you.

Show more than 4 people on Teams video
Hi, Looking back through previous forum posts, it looks like there have been plans to expand the max number of windows shown in calls from 2x2 to 3x3, so you would be able to see 9 people on video at a time rather than 4. Has there been any progress on this? You're probably aware that a huge number of people are now working from home, so this would be a very useful feature to have at the moment! Thanks Mike

Participants not showing up on camera BUT camera shows for others
The view on my screen in Microsoft teams does not seem to show everyone's camera yet others in the meeting can see all the participants on camera. I instead, get a box with their initials but no video. See attached photo. We are using the free version of teams. In the past I have been able to see all attendees. I have restarted the app, ensured that it is updated, etc. logged out and in. No luck. Help!
