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.

This most one of the most important features to get fixed! Sitting at home all day and collaborating across the full team all day this THE feature I hear most negative comments about. Must be one of the most important features to get up and running ASAP! Should be possible to choose screen layout.

Even though I just brought our Laboratory onto Teams, people are suggesting moving to Zoom for this very reason.

Our project teams have 6-8 people. They are gradually going rogue and moving to Zoom specifically for this reason.

In light of our current pandemic, immediate action on this would make a huge difference in transistioning to online learning. School districts all over BC, Canada are using Microsoft Teams. This update would help thousands of teachers and students. We NEED this NOW more than ever. It should be a top priority.

Microsoft is going to be the ****** with this one. The other competitors by offering video for all on the call will steel their business. Just read the comments below to see how many other options there are.
Going to 9x only is unacceptable. And not hearing a response from Microsoft since January 14th (the latest I see on this request) looks arrogant.

Be great to hear if this is any closer to being delivered as more and more healthcare meetings are now virtual due to coronavirus and this will enhance the experience.

Another school teacher and administrator here planning to use Teams for our online classes, but we need to be able to see all students in the class. We will use something else if needed.

Zoom also shows all participants and highlights the one speaking.

Unless I am missing it, there is no update on what is the #1 feature request in teams since January 14th. HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE? 😕 It has 4 times as many votes as the next closest request.
Where are you Microsoft?

This is such an obvious feature, I had assumed the product was more mature than this. The frame rate doesn't have to be so fast, at least to start...just get it GOING. Also, only 9 is a cop-out.

This is the one feature that makes WebEx, Zoom and Google Meet superior to your product. Please has there been any update on this effort?

Grid view for all participants in Teams MTG needed to happen yesterday. Educators around the world flipped our classrooms in 48 hours and are now successfully online with remote learning. We are all pulling together as a country and world, do your part Microsoft.

I work in the 24th largest school district in the Country and our district using Microsoft’s 365 ALL the time, but TEAMS need to be modified to meet our new needs. Please do this ASAP.
