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.

Based on recent feedback, we are accelerating our work to increase the number of participants shown in the main meeting window. Stay tuned for more updates. Thank you!

I'm appalled by the lack of reaction from Microsoft.

Appalled at some of the reactions here. Sure it is important functionality, but the trash-talking, accusations and empty threats are not needed. (Really, you will jeopardize your company and its data in Zoom? I don't think so, unless you don't have a legal department). It's bad behaviour, you should be ashamed of yourself. Upvoted for the welcome functionality.

Microsoft - you're approach is a JOKE!!! Are you trying to say you're unable to develop this functionality being one of largest IT company in the world?! No, you just don't care about users!! As IT professional when I see item in product backlog for 2 yrs I can tell you it means this is the lowest priority. Shame on you and fix it please ASAP!!!!

Come on Microsoft! We are in a global pandemic; critical organisations are trying to run from home; mass gatherings are forbidden; loved ones are trying to stay in touch. And we have no idea of when you are going to implement this! Surely this must be near the top of the queue!

To work with our students, this limitation is really painful. Even if we have an Office365 school licence, you risk losing us because of this limitation. It's too bad.

In Corona times this is an absolute must have.
Otherwise 'Teams' is not worthy of its product name.

Would love for this but also so that it can be changed depending on preferences. Might not want to choose 50 small videos.

I wake up every morning now and this the first page I visit, desperate for any signal that MS are making progress on the most important development project they have going on right now....and again this morning there is just total silence - IS ANYONE AT MICROSOFT LOOKING AT THIS THREAD??? Please just an acknowledgement that this thread exists would provide a crumb of comfort to your thousands of loyal evangelists, I'm about to throw in the towel and spend money we don't have on Zoom. I love the MS platform, I'm sure you're working on this at some level - just one or two words right now to give us hope that progress is being made is all we're asking for. Are we being unreasonable?

Needs must, how come it takes so long for the MS boffins to sort this, if zoom can do it?

Another day, another Zoom request for a feature teams doesn't have. Looks like its time to say goodbye teams. Hello Zoom!

Whilst yes it would be good to have this feature for those that feel the need to keep up with neighbors but objectivley how many videos on screen can people actually watch and the switch feed to speaker works well.
