How to See all participants in Microsoft Teams
In video conferences with Microsoft Teams, only some of the participants can be seen at the same time. Read on to find out whether this can be changed.
In video conferences with Microsoft Teams , only up to 20 people are currently shown on the screen at the same time. This can lead to confusion in larger conferences. Only those who are speaking are automatically shown on the screen. But with Together mode, this is changing.
See all participants at the same time
Since an update in June 2020, you can see 20 participants at the same time during a video conference. But with the ” Together mode ” you can see up to 49 participants in a virtual plenary session at the same time. To do this, click on the three-dot menu at the top and then select ” Together mode “. However, this entry is only available if at least five people are taking part in a meeting. You will then see all participants in a lecture hall, each seated.
Meetings are not only possible in the lecture hall, but also in other environments. For example, you can have an amphitheater in the countryside, a standard conference room or even a café at your disposal. Select the appropriate background and then click ” Apply “.
