Microsoft Teams is a popular collaboration tool that allows users to communicate and work together remotely. One of the features that makes Teams so useful is its ability to support video conferencing with multiple participants. However, by default, Teams only displays up to four participants at a time in the main window. If you want to see more people on your screen at once, you can enable large gallery view.
Step 1: Open Microsoft Teams
To begin, open Microsoft Teams and log in with your account credentials. Once you’re logged in, you should be able to see the main interface of Teams, which includes a list of channels and chats on the left side of the screen.
Step 2: Start or Join a Meeting
To enable large gallery view, you need to start or join a meeting. Click on the “Meet Now” button in the top right corner of the screen to start a new meeting, or click on an existing meeting in your calendar to join one that’s already scheduled.
Step 3: Enable Large Gallery View
Once you’re in a meeting, look for the “Large Gallery” button in the top right corner of the screen. Click on this button to enable large gallery view. You should now be able to see up to nine participants at once in the main window.
Step 4: Customize Your View
If you want to customize your view even further, you can click on the “More Options” button in the top right corner of the screen. From here, you can choose to display only the active speaker, or switch between different layouts for the meeting.
Conclusion
Enabling large gallery view in Microsoft Teams is a simple process that can make video conferencing much more efficient and enjoyable. By following these steps, you should be able to see up to nine participants at once in the main window, making it easier to stay engaged and connected with your colleagues.
