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.

GoToMeeting does feed multiple videos and works neat. Appreciate if you could implement it the earliest. I love Teams so far.

We came from WebEx meetings where having 12 people on screen was common - very useful especially for the Surface in the conference room.

It would be nice if we could be a display or mode that incorporates the feel of the presenter screen in powerpoint. So that we can see reactions of the audience. Then another mode that we are all in the same room have a conversation pitching ideas with no presentation.

Can you please explain some of the constraints you are facing in order to be able to release this functionality?

We also use Zoom but have been looking at Teams. We have regular video chats with more than 4 people and it's just not acceptable to limit to 4. Zoom also allows the end user to control how video appears or which video to spotlight. Teams is very limited.

Our team is currently using Zoom, but attempting to investigate and migrate to Teams. We recognized this critical issue on a 5 person meeting today. Being able to see the face of all participants is VERY important for reading non-verbal queues as well as to ensure all participants are engaged in the conversation (even if just listening). We won't be able to switch until this is addressed.

Any update on when this feature will launch? This makes Teams look weak!

Hello... any updates on sharing more the four cameras?

Separate feature, but look at this when screen sharing in zoom too - the UX is immense. 'multi monitor' mode in zoom allows me to see all the faces *and* the screen share.
UX consideration is through the roof

This is one of the key reasons my team uses zoom. This feature can't be under estimated for remote teams.
Please if implementing this, follow their example and do not stop at 9. Zoom stops at 49 - be the change you wish to see here.

This should be a basic feature that every conferencing system needs.

This would be very helpful. We are shifting from Webex which has this ability (as mentioned by Tom Highfiled below). Please deliver soon. It will help with adoption. Thank you.

Seeing more than the last 4 participants should be a setting we can change.
Also, I second Nehal Barot's additional request (9/11/2019 to be able to see the participant while screen sharing.
