Updated November 7, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
In Microsoft Teams, a new feature enhances the meeting view that is shown to attendees while the main meeting window is minimized.
When participants in a meeting minimize the main meeting window, they can multitask without losing sight of the meeting or missing important information by monitoring activity in a smaller meeting view window.
This view switcher feature update allows users to expand the default active speaker view of the meeting to an extended large gallery view. This view allows users to see up to 4 meeting participants, including reactions, raised hands, and a Me Video tile.
This expanded view can be toggled via a new UI control.
