Be able to move people's videos to top instead of bottom of screen (when someone is screen sharing a presentation)
When in a group meeting, everyone's video screen appears at the bottom when someone is presenting their screen. It would be nice to be able to drag it to the top of the window instead. That's also where the webcam usually sits so it's better to be looking more directly into the camera (instead of halfway down the screen)

really important to have this feature, hurdle to build good team rapport in times of home office.

One more Up Vote for faces on top, by option or even default

I'm surprised that this still isn't happening. It was the first thing my big boss said to me when I called him on Teams rather than our usual Zoom.

I agree! Please allow the attendees to be at the top of the screen - or even at the side. It is horrible to have the presenter try to make eye contact and be looking at the bottom of the screen when presenting content

Teams is a great training tool but participants at the bottom is real tacky. I catch myself looking at the bottom of the screen when someone asks a questions and then realize that I am no longer looking at or near the camera. Really presents poorly on the trainer. Microsoft has got to fix this.

I'd rather have the participants's screen to the left or right. A laptop screen is wider than it is taller and this option will make the presentation appear bigger en better readable

A solution for now is to use "OnTopReplica" (https://github.com/LorenzCK/OnTopReplica) to select a portion of the Teams window, and put it wherever you would like on your computer. I put mine near my camera so it helps me look directly at the people I'm speaking to.

I strongly agree with this comment/request. Moving the video screen to the top really makes it so that you are "looking" directly at the people you are speaking to.

These seems like an essential feature required. Its giving me a bad neck looking down at the video feed when people present their slides via Teams.

How is this not a "Must Have" feature?! Hand raising was implemented before this... This is a real issue for me and I'd assume 95% of others with a web camera on-top of their laptop/desktop monitor. I have a particularly large monitor meaning I have to tilt my head down towards my keyboard to make eye contact and see reactions of others in the call. I've been on teams for 8-months now and it honestly looks like I'm not paying attention to others. Fix this ASAP please!

If I look at the person I talk to during a call it looks to that person as if I would avoid eye contact and look at something totally different.
If I look at the camera to avoid this I can't see how others react.
This is really a big issue with teams and should be resolved fast. Ideally by offering options where to show the other participants, so everybody can adjust this according to their personal needs.Options could be "dock at the top / bottom / left / right" as well as a floating option where I can move the videos wherever I like them to be.
