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.

Thank you for your continued feedback, we have not forgotten about this ask. We have a feature on the backlog for popping out content, so you will be able to see one screen with the video gallery and one screen with the shared content. We will share an update as soon as one is available.
For the separate feature ask for full screen option, please upvote and comment at https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103/suggestions/41277121
For split screen camera and desktop, please upvote and comment at https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103/suggestions/37118773

I is important to be able to focus on presenter or participants even when content is shown. This used to work. Please re-enable

I know Microsoft is thinking about this feature, because if you have a fully featured Team's Device with two monitors, it sends the screen-share (presentation) to one screen and the video feed to another.
Curious why this option isn't available on the regular desktop client? Seems like a relatively simple feature to implement such that the presented screen share and video feed don't need to share the same window.
Especially in long conference calls & big rooms, you want to see the presented slide deck while being able to see a large view of all the people in the video feed. Flipping back & forth with the thumbnail is pretty frustrating.

Zooming the view of shared content now works in regular Teams meetings, but NOT in Teams Live Events.
This would be a great improvement! -

We want to use teams for mixed conferences, where some associates are in the room and others are remote. Need to be able to use two big screens. One for full-screen presentation the other for full-screen remote participants.

Agreed, this is important in my municipal context. Remote participants would benefit from being able to see facial expressions of all others, but especially members of the municipal decision-making bodies, while presenting.

This is top urgent! Esp. nowadays with more and more people using 2 screens it's a huge benefit to be able to split content and feeds of other participants in 2 windows on 2 screens to simultaneously see content AND other participants in an accepatble size

Having just switched from Zoom, this lack of functionality is particularly noticeable. Please implement this feature.

Why let one monitor go unused when you can spread attendees across screens for a more in-person like experience?

This feature should be implemented to facilitate easy communication and to be able to see other users in a teams meeting.

Screen Shared content one window, video of users other window, two full screens in use so that the content being presented by another user can be seen. Presenter already has similar type of tools. Need same for the attendee.

This essential feature should be prioritised for the next possible release. We need to be able to see our colleagues and customers, WHILE we are also viewing a presentation.

#1 asked request from my users. They want to know why skype and zoom has had this for ages.

I cannot believe that this obvious feature (which was no problem in Skype...) is not implemented!

This would be especially helpful for someone who is deaf and relies on reading lips. When sharing content the video is too small; have to switch back and forth between video and shared content. When switching, there is missed information as the blip is seconds long.

I use this on Zoom every day. So frustrating that Microsoft lags behind on important features.

The latest UI update sent this SO FAR in the wrong direction. Now you can no longer toggle back to the full video view nor can you see more than 8 people's video at once.
Please make this usable for our users before they bail to Zoom.

the only alternative would be to switch to ZOOM where you have all the flexibility to set up the call to your needs....
