Microsoft Teams has rolled out new meeting stage layout enhancements, designed to transform your meeting experience based on customer feedback! Here’s a rundown of what’s new:
What’s New?
Mixed Grid Layout
The Mixed Grid Layout is now the default setting, ensuring everyone gets the best seat in the house! This layout provides a balanced view, making it easier to see and interact with all participants.
Customisable Features
You can now choose to include or exclude yourself from the gallery, adjust the gallery size, and more. This level of customisation allows you to tailor your meeting experience to suit your preferences.
Enhanced Design
Enjoy a modern aesthetic with rounded corners, chic backgrounds, and a sleeker participant appearance. The new design not only looks good but also enhances usability, making your meetings more pleasant and engaging.
Adjustable Aspect Ratios
Tailor your viewing experience to fit your needs perfectly with adjustable aspect ratios. Whether you prefer a wider view or a more focused one, the choice is yours.
Improved Sidebar Real Estate
See more participants, even while sharing your screen, with improved sidebar real estate. This feature ensures you don’t miss out on important visual cues and interactions during presentations.
Optimised Video Size
Optimise video size for clarity without sacrificing participant visibility. This enhancement ensures that you can see everyone clearly, making it easier to communicate and collaborate.
Save Your Preferences
Set your preferences once, and we’ll remember them. This feature saves you time and effort, ensuring a consistent meeting experience every time.
Predictable Layout Changes
Experience predictable layout changes with distinct roles tailored to what you value most in your meetings. Whether it’s the active speaker, video participants, or an equal view of all attendees, the layout adjusts to highlight what’s important to you.
We’re thrilled to roll out these enhancements, making every meeting not just a call, but a truly engaging experience. Dive into the new era of Microsoft Teams meetings—where your feedback directly shapes your meeting space!
