Change Views in Microsoft Teams Meetings
MS Teams meetings allow participants to change the meeting view to gallery, speaker, together mode, large gallery, or focus on content views. While in a meeting, click on View to choose one of the layout options:
-
Gallery: By default, you will see everyone in a grid.
-
Speaker: When selected, the speaker becomes the center of attention.
-
Together mode: When selected and not disabled by an organizer, participants appear seated in a virtual scene.
-
Large gallery: This is only an option if there are more than 49 participants with 10 or more cameras turned on.
-
Focus on content: During screen sharing, this view minimizes distractions by hiding meeting controls and chat.
