Show video for all people in Video meeting
Currently when in a video chat it only shows the active video for the last 4 people that have spoken in the chat. On the bottom bar it shows icons for all those in the chat. If it could show small video for all those in the chat that have their cameras turned on it would be beneficial. Then everyone on the video conference can see the reactions of others, whether they were the last to speak or not.
This is a problem with most video chatting applications. Google Hangouts it the only one we have found that shows video of all the participants on the screen.

Wanted to share that we are continuing to make good progress on this feature. We’ll update as we have more details on timing to share.

"Google Hangouts it the only one we have found that shows video of all the participants on the screen." REALLY? Apparently you're not researching other video conferencing software. Zoom, join.me and gotomeeting all do this, just to name a few.

Teams is such a mess with missing features, it's not even funny anymore. This new culture of MVP product is a disaster! While Microsoft idles other companies past them at full speed. They are again doing the same they did with mobile OS.

Alex, is there any update on this? We are going to start looking at alternatives if MS doesn't address this soon

What I have taken away from this is that I should check out Zoom. We were really going to give Teams a try, but a few weeks into "forced" implementation, we stumbled across this limitation and it is a deal breaker. If this is not going to get fixed anytime soon, we are out.

I just went looking for the setting to show more faces in the chat window... and ended up here! Wow. Over 2600 votes, over 6 months gone by, and still no improvement.

Working on it since May - really? You should be aware - from multiple comments - that this is what keeps people from using your software!

I know this is annoying, and rather than wait around for Microsoft to fix it, we migrated to Zoom. Highly recommended. If the Microsoft sweet cannot perform as needed, then I'm off to the next thing. Any company that keeps us is constantly supporting and updating its applications as needed. Bye-bye Teams, it was nice while it lasted:)

We need this feature as well. Microsoft, do you have an update on the feature availability? This will make the product usable in the enterprise.

I'd like to be able to show or "hide" people/screens individually. Often times there is a presenter sharing their screen and I want to show that AND there is also a conference room or two with a Surface and I want to see those, but I do NOT want to see all the blank "place holder" icons for other people in the meeting that do not have a camera or anything. Same idea, but with more control.

7 months since last update on May 14. Wow. Is it even in Beta yet? We really need this as well.
