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.

    Why did Microsoft remove the full-screen mode with shared screens? It seems that Microsoft Teams developers are trying to push its users to use Zoom instead. It is a very strange way of engaging users.

    Please give the ability to view the screen in full screen when its shared.
    Previously it used to work in full screen.

    Please-please-please give the ability to resize and move video windows (yours and others) and the shared presentation composition (size/where it sits) like Webex or Zoom. I miss both for this reason. It is so hard to attend video presentations without this.

    An update occurred and a workaround for a period of time is when the screen share is up you could click on the video images and it would switch back to gallery mode and minimize the screen share and you could go back and forth. With an update the occurred overnight when someone is sharing their screen you can no longer click on the video to switch between video feeds and screen share.

    This request was posted three years ago, but should be the first priority for Video Call products such as Skype/Zoom/Teams. Still not able to properly monitor your own video feed as it is sized as a stamp while I have three monitors to give full screen real estate to preview all outputs (screen share/video/return video). Call monitor (my own video preview) is lagging, it is mirrored without option to change it to what the other end is seeing (what do you think the purpose of a Call Monitor is, yes to see if the other end receives the proper image from your end). C'mon guys ... this should get first priority if you want to drop Skype4B.

    I also miss the full screen mode for the video. now the video is very small when content is shared :(

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Where is the full screen option? My screen is small and now I can't read the text! Wtf..

  • Antoine commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yeah for people having 2 screens that would be amazing to keep a good eye on the presentation and on the presenter.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Can you please restore the full screen option (and maybe with the standard F11 shortcut key associated to it)?

  • Rahul krishnan commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Based on people working with bigger screens, this would be great. If you could simply break out the video into a separate windows, even better still because it would hand dual monitor as well as independent re-sizing.

    Unbelievable that this feature is on backlog whereas stuff like virtual backgrounds get's further development. No wonder ZOOM is still on the list and my users refuse to let Skype for Business go!
    Hey Microsoft this is not a nice to have feature, that was popping out Chats. This is mandatory for business and educational use when sharing content!

  • VCL commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Skype for Business has a show full size option that helps a lot when the presenter has a big screen and I have a smaller one, but teams has no such option, meaning that sometimes I cannot see anything from the screen the presenter is sharing!

  • ning commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please add back the option of "full screen" when viewing othere's screens

  • Sam commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Ability to split to members on one screen, and shared screen on another.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    need to keep full screen option. This "New" experience is a step backward due to this. I'd like to see the new features while maintain the ability to full screen (not just "focus") a meeting.
