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 excited to announce large gallery view (7×7 videos) and Together mode are available to the public for desktop & mobile.
Large Gallery is an optional feature and can be turned on at any time during the meeting. The new large gallery has a flexible design and will deliver a network-optimized client video experience that works on multiple device categories.

Is there a way to use the new gallery view in a chromebook?
It's very frustrating not to see al the participants in a meeting -

Gallery view is better than the old experience. However, my own video in the bottom right is the worst place ever. Why don't you 1) show it exactly the same as all other participants 2) keep it top center, where the camera is. everybody looks down to the right now in videocalls :/

And if only one person has camera on, they are not the whole screen! At least a mix of squares with profile pics and cameras on.

Please enable more concurrent videos of participants, so that MS Teams can be more worthful.

You should do what Zoom did. Put multiple cameras in different pages. This would allow us to "flip through" those pages and see everyone's cameras without them having to be cramped up in one screen, if that makes sense.

The web based version is way behind. You can still only see one person at the time during a meeting. When will this change? Could we at least get the 3x3 grid to the webversion?
When will the large gallery-view be accessible on the web based version? -

I tried it with 8 clients but I could only see 1 client - so frustrating! I reverted to old version & saw 4 instead. Does it matter if clients join from a mobile phone?

When will these new features be coming to Linux Teams? I'm still using the early beta, and I haven't heard anything about updates since!

Increasing the number of participants seen in a single screen from 9 to higher is the most important requirement. Again muting and unmuting the participants from organiser.

So when will this be coming to Linux, Android, and the Web?

I believe there may be a buggy behavior, sometimes incoming video/sound behaves like the internet connection is bad, but after restarting teams this recovers (without any change to internet connection).

Equivalently consider the ability to force the conference owner to pin a particular participant's video.

I can’t seem to view all participants on the web based version of Teams. We have a Chromebook for virtual school and the Chrome OS app isn’t very 1st grader friendly. The web version is easier to navigate, but we can only see one person at a time. I don’t see the option for Gallery View. Is that right?

Can you please add at least 3x3 to the Web Browser version of Teams? Chromebook users are missing out

Good job improving Teams, Together mode is fantastic, however I only see the classroom and not the other backgrounds. Will they be available soon or can I download backgrounds for Together mode somewhere and where should they be placed? I know you can change wallpapers one by one by posting photos in% AppData%\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads, but where are they put for Together mode?

In our company, we have the policy to only sit on every second chair due to COVID-19, but in together mode we are too close to each other, could you please add the option to enable social distancing mode.
