Hide or move the meeting toolbar during a Teams meeting
Is it possible to move the meeting toolbar during a Teams meeting? It is usually right over something I want to read from what is being shared. I tried dragging without success and can't see a way to minimise it as we could with Skype.
The only way to hide it is to click outside of the bar once.
However, as soon as you move your mouse pointer the bar re-appears... I need something more controllable, as I often need to flick into other docs for reference while in meetings.656 votes -
Allow organizer to close participant video in Teams meeting
When having multiple persons participating Teams meeting often it is nice to join with video on. Sometimes others may suffer a poor-quality connection or have their webcam pointed in other direction than it supposed. Is there a roadmap to allow the meeting organizer to switch off the participants video like you can mute other persons?

Block the Teams Echo bot from joining a meeting
The Teams Echo bot (meant for testing one's microphone) can be invited to a meeting via the "partipants" tab. No reasonable person would do this since it is extremely disruptive to the meeting, however, unruly students (i.e., class clowns) find this amusing.
Unfortunately, there is currently no way to block, mute, or remove this participant -- we have to listen to it go through it's full script before it departs.
Ideally this bot would not be able to join meetings (especially those with multiple participants in them). However, an explicit ability to block/mute/boot the bot would be appreciated as well.

Presenter Mode to be available on iPad for Teams Live Event
Lots of Chief X Officers (CXO) just have iPad as their primary device of working. With COVID19, they are wanting to use Live Events for Townhalls, broadcast, employee engagements, etc. They also don't have an alternate device with them, such as Laptop or MAC machines. Given the same it will be helpful to have Presenter Mode available on iPad for Teams Live Event.

Allow Me to Set Video Quality
During meeting calls where my internet is running slow, I'd like to lower the video resolution / quality in order to help better stream audio. Right now, there's no ability to throttle video quality.

Tagging in private channels
Tags are finally out!
But it works only for public channels in a Team. It would be great to have the same functionality for private channels.
Use case:
We are providing a DMS support for our organizational units in MS Teams.
Each organizational unit has its own private channel where the support team and the organizational unit users are finding place. Private channels are used to avoid data leak. For the users it's difficult to mentrion all the people from the support team using @.So it would be greate to have the same functionallity for tags as public channels…

Spotlight Recording
When recording a Teams meeting and using the spotlight feature will the recording of the meeting still show all attendees or focus the recording on the spotlighted video feed? For training and review purposes I would like the spotlighted feed to be the focus of the recording.

Professional Live Events Producer Usage
I have a number of small ideas around the practical use of the producer end of live events.
1 Offer more options with regards to split screens eg two face images at the same time. 50/50 split and smaller/larger would be good. don't just restrict to a presenter and a document.
2 Add in the ability to share from two devices at the same time and switch between them. At least one presenter and the producer. If you need a backup, one will bump the other off the shared screen. It also automatically goes live if you do this bump…
