Video screen size when sharing screen
When video chatting and sharing your screen, the video window is very small and you can't resize it.
When you are in an active meeting and have video and screen sharing enable:
1. Able to resize video preview
2. Able to use multiple monitors with video on one and screen share on the other.
3. Able to move the video around the screen freely.
4. Overlay video on full screen screenshare.
5. Able to freely resize your split screen with video and screenshare.

This should be done already. It's unacceptable to be forced into a product with lesser features

Any update ? using 2 separate screens (1 for sharing a ppt and 1 for videoconf) is useless if we cannot resize the video !
Urgently needed for our VIP Meetings ! -

Important feature and for long time ago taken to the backlog. When will it be available?

I agree with the posters below. This feature must be implemented. Users should be able to fully control the size of video and screen share feeds. For example, why can't I have a pinned video on half my screen, and the shared presentation on the others? Currently, there's no easy way to do both.
Or even better, why can't I have the video feed on one screen, and the screen shared presentation on another? That would be an amazing and highly functional feature, rather than being shackled to one instance of all uses.
Please bump this up the backlog ASAP!

This issue is the main reason I cannot get full acceptance of Teams within my company. Executive level management find the screens to be completely unacceptable for group meetings and won't use it. The admins would prefer to use it over Go To Meeting because we find it easier to use, but I agree that the visuals are not good when you cannot use multiple monitors to move screen share to another monitor. I think there are many of us that would be happy if you would move this up in priority on your backlog.

I want to be able to Have the Video from a meeting on one monitor and continue to access different teams and chat with other people without minimizing the Video.

while sharing desktop screen Microsoft teams doesn’t allow the shared screen in a different window ( not in the video screen).

I support this idea because with my hearing loss, I am not able to separate screen share and video onto 2 separate screens to see what is all going on. I rely heavily on lipreading but if I cannot see the person because I am trying to see what is being shared. Same deal if I see the person, but I cannot see the shared screen. With Skype, we can do this but with Teams, we cannot. It would greatly be appreciated if we could get this pushed through. Without this, it poses challenges not only for me but for others as well.

All of our employees have multiple monitors. how are we going to encourage remote participation in meetings using video conferencing and "extend the conference room" to their remote/home location if they have to watch a mix of content and video feeds all on one monitor/window.
