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.

Possibly I've missed it, but I can't see this item on the 365 roadmap https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap

We also need to be able to hide dial-in participants (or at least prevent the icon/phone number that's displayed for them from taking up so much space!)

We need this feature folks. It is much more difficult to fully engage in meetings without this. Being able to see the responses of others adds a further valuable dimension of interaction that allows for richer meetings and gives participants the feeling that they can connect with everyone in the meeting.
Come now Microsoft, you dropped the ball here.

Our org currently has to use GoToMeeting or Zoom in order to hold larger meetings. I'm trying to get our org to fully adopt Teams, but this is making it a struggle.

We would like to see all the participants in our video call. We usually have about 15 people in our daily calls. We are opting to move back to Webex or Zoom now as we are unable see all the participants.

I would like to see all of the 6 people on the call. The pictures available did not change depending who had last spoken - only four of the people were visible throughout the call. Is there some setting to change to view all of the six people?

I'm getting pressure to drop Teams for online meetings as well and to move to Zoom due to the limitations of Teams. This needs to be fixed. I don't need yet another tool.

There is a lot of questions here regarding this. We don't want people using other apps for video conferencing. Do you have a release date or an idea when this feature will be released?

We have recently moved to Teams and this is a real step backward from our previous tool. Any updates on when this might be fixed?

This feature is essential for any organization to have a "collaborative" meeting. I have the the management teams asking why we are using teams when Zoom does a better job. This really needs to be prioritised and implemented. Lack of the feature is giving Zoom your business.

@SkypeSenorita said this was actively being worked on via Twitter and it says backlogged here. Which is it? This is sorely needed. I can’t move our org to Teams until this is done. We use Zoom today and it’s just so nice to see everyone instead of only 4 people.

More generally, it would be great to be able to select which video (or video(s) get focus.

+1 Also, the ability for presenter to show ONLY 1 attendee. If it is a big meeting with 1 to many presentation, I only want ONE person and all other features to drop off the screen. I know the intent is to use Teams live or event or whatever it's called, but there are serious barriers to entry with that technology.

This would make a huge difference + raising hands and other, similar meeting control options.

Please add this feature. Currently Teams doesn't even have a "raise hand" feature to request permission to speak. Meetings are chaotic when you are used to seeing everyone and "raise hand" live on camera (Zoom).

Please fix this, it costs us many hours to test scenarios - those hours should be spent on business.
