Hide my video, only for me
Video calling works great, but one feature I really wish Teams had in common with Skype for Business is the ability to hide my own video. It's pretty distracting and makes me feel a bit self-conscious, so I often end up turning it off... Skype has a little button in the top right of the user's own video that hides it. This would be really useful!

Participants will show their video more often if they don't have to look at themselves.

Ditto - this drives me crazy. I end up hovering a Notepad window over my face so I don't end up staring at myself vs the speaker or slide.

Absolutely, this would help battle video conferencing fatigue, so you do not have to constantly see and monitor yourself.

Yes please! I get so self conscious looking at myself at meetings that I would go video-less. I'd rather not, but I don't want to see my own face :p it's unnerving
