How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

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.

    Sorry but is it a joke?

    Warren 30.07.2018 = This feature request has been accepted by the feature team and is now queued and in the backlog.
    Warren 09.09.2018 = This item is still in the backlog. No further details are available at this time.
    Alex 14.05.2019 = 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.
    Alex 14.01.2020 = 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.

    Are You serious? Team of Teams Engineering working on feature like this for 2 years already? 2 years from first post, but we know that Teams is in development a lot longer, and noone - NOONE think about this feature which is so important specially now? Please ....

    This would make teams more competitive with the other products out there. This needed

    We love teams that we rolled out recently in my company. However many want your competitor product due to this limitation - not being able to see more than 4 video tiles. Is there any update on this in terms of timing ?

    Given the current circumstances that we are all working in, globally, this is a critical feature that needs to be delivered urgently. We are trying to engage our organisation in using Teams, and there are many great features, however as we are all needing to engage so heavily with our teams remotely to ensure inclusion, connectivity and ensure physical isolation doesn't mean social isolation, we are finding that many across our organisation are abandoning Teams for things like this and using Zoom and other tools instead.

    I hope this feature is very close. Webex and Zoom make meetings more effective and efficient because you can see all of the participants.

    You are taking too long to roll out a feature that comes as a default in many other similar Apps...I'm increasingly being asked by the organization to move to zoom

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Holding back the tide against Zoom is becoming impossible. Please provide an update on timing as soon as possible.

    Other platforms such as Zoom and Go-To-Meeting allow more than four participants to be visible at the one time. These will be my preferred choice soon as this restriction on MS Teams is preventing good collaboration to occur.

    Please add this feature urgently as we now have everyone working from home and find Zoom much better in this regard...but we don't want our users to stop using Teams

    We are losing our opportunity to get everyone on teams because of this limitation. Everyone is moving to Zoom. Need more that 4 on video!

  • Matthew Ryan commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Zoom and Go-To-Meeting allow more than 4 participants to be seen. Perhaps this is something that MS Teams could change.

  • Graham commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Looks like a move to Zoom is on the cards now since we cannot have more than 4 videos up at one time
