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.

We are working on supporting more than 4 videos in a Teams meeting. We don’t have a date to share, but will update as we get closer to completion.
Thanks.

We are also anxious for this feature to be fixed. It has decreased the quality of our meetings since switching from Skype.

Could we please get an update on this feature? We can't move off Zoom until this is done.

This needs to be priority. Having a limit on this is pretty sad.

Please provide update especially since you announced Skype is being phased out. Our company transitioned to Teams in preparation of Skype retirement and it's been great so far except for the video layout. Also please incorporate "Conversation History" into Outlook with Teams like Skype does.

I often join a Teams meeting comprising one location with active video while the rest are non-video participants. The Teams window is split between the active video and a gray box with a no-camera icon. I have not found a way to hide the non-video participants. This would be nice to do

Zoom will show up to 49 video thubnails. This has been a complaint with Skype for Business (4 or 5 max) and, apparently, MS teams only supports 4; however MS Teams is even more limited in that the video window cannot be popped out and put to another monitor. We use this a lot in Skype for Business so we can have a full screen of content sharing and have video feeds on other window.

To improve this please develop the video use with a technology that let as see small videos of the 3-4 latest speakers. Make it more lit face to face meeting.

To show a small video for all those in the chat that have their cameras turned on (to some upper limit perhaps) would be a good improvement

Please speed up the change of video layout/presentation mode for three areas:
- Individual settings to show No of users live video. (current speaker, last speakers, all participants)
- Change layout for screen in three areas (presentation, current speaker, last speakers/all participants), just a right click on video screen to change view/presentation mode on screen, drag & drop/resize and possibility to save layout as last configuration.
- Possibility to zoom part of live video picture for selected participants to ensure that presenter will be shown correctly including possibility to view slide show at same time.Listen to all voters more than 1000 votes = prioritize! -

Camera cropping in Teams is awful if you have 3 or more... please resolve by stopping the cropping and just reduce the overall image size

Agree with everybody. A terrible limitation. Allow people to at least choose the speakers if needed too.

Agree with the last comment if Zoom and Hangouts can do it why not Teams, this would really help with the adoption, can we please have an update?

Please implement this as a high priority. It's mindboggling that there is still this weird and arbitrary limitation. Zoom managed it ages ago.

This really needs to be moved to priority #1. Teams cannot be considered an enterprise product without being able to display more than 4 people in a video call. I literally didn't even check when we rolled out teams because I completely had an expectation that it would have this feature. It almost feels Microsoft is out of touch even though they are an enterprise themselves. Microsoft should not have even released teams if it's not going to have this capability. Even if we have to pay extra.

In the meantime, if we can only see 4 participants, is there a way of changing who those 4 are? at the moment it is only if they speak.

That is a very weird limitation. I don't understand why blurring the background was treated as a priority but not this.
