Imagine you're at a dinner party. When it's just you and one other person, you might sit across from each other at a small table, making it easy to chat and share the space. But as more guests arrive, you might move to a larger table to accommodate everyone comfortably, ensuring everyone has enough room and can be part of the conversation.

This is similar to what Microsoft Teams is doing with its video tiles in Teams Rooms on Android. When only one person is in the room, the video tile is the same size as the tiles of remote participants, like sitting at that small table. But when more people join in the room, the video tile grows larger, four times the size, to ensure everyone is visible and included, just like moving to a bigger table at the party.

Admins have the option to turn this feature on or off, much like deciding whether to use a small or large table for your guests. This flexibility allows for a more personalized and effective meeting experience, ensuring that the video display adjusts to the number of people present, much like how you would adjust your seating arrangements based on the number of guests.
