Hi, Microsoft 365 Insiders! We are excited to share the availability of a view in Teams meetings in Teams Public Preview: Speaker view. Speaker view in Teams meetings Speaker view can be selected from the view switcher within meetings and allows meeting attendees to effortlessly track the currently active speaker. It is particularly effective in scenarios with a limited number of key speakers and a large audience, such as town halls, trainings, or lectures – especially from the student’s perspective. The Speaker View offers several enhancements, including: Easy tracking of the active speaker: The view includes a primary area on the stage to focus on key participants in the meeting. Better visual clarity: The active speaker’s video is rendered at a higher resolution. Equal representation for audio and video participants: All attendees are equally represented in the meeting, regardless of whether their video is enabled or disabled. Inclusive by default: This view utilizes 16:9 tiles, providing ample space to fully display hand gestures and body language. Predictable experience: The use of 16:9 tiles and consistent placement of audio and video participants on the same stage ensures a fluid experience. Users toggling their videos on or off do not cause the entire stage to be re-rendered. The main area designated for the active speaker is also utilized for shared content, enabling seamless transitions during presentations.
