When in a teams meeting - I would like to see both participants and chat at the same time. Right now - its one or the other. in Skype for Business meetings - that was not the case, we could see chat and participants in one view

Teachers have this functionality in BigBlueButton. Can't believe it's not possible in MS Teams! Need to see upraised hands and chat questions/comments while presenting (University language teacher)

How does it not already have this?? MUST ADD!

This is really important for teaching as they don't all have microphones but you also need to see who is in the group

Absolutely. I'm upvoting this. 6th grade math teacher. It would make class so much easier to see chats as they come in, along with the list of participants (where you can see raised hands).

Frustrating when I am in a collab meeting and cannot see who is on the call when i am sending out notes.

Very important feature. Actually 100% required to have an efficient meeting.

So as a Slack user now forced into using Teams, it is definitely an inferior layout.
I want to pin my TEAMS Channels chats and my individual Chats on the same bar like I can in Slack. Toggling is a waste of time.

Agree. In addition the "hands up" facility is neat tool but is very difficult to monitor without access to participant list.

Support colleagues, chairs and chairing meetings myself I would agree the ability to view participants lists to see order of raised hands and chat at the same time is almost a necessary function for good meeting efficiency.

Webex Meeting and Webex Training also allows both Participants and Chat to be viewed at the same time... Microsoft - get Teams on board please!

please add the ability to have the attendee list and chat meeting open at the same time in TEAMS meetings.

As a teacher, being able to see both participants and chat would be an added bonus.
