Show more than 4 people on Teams video
Hi,
Looking back through previous forum posts, it looks like there have been plans to expand the max number of windows shown in calls from 2x2 to 3x3, so you would be able to see 9 people on video at a time rather than 4.
Has there been any progress on this? You're probably aware that a huge number of people are now working from home, so this would be a very useful feature to have at the moment!
Thanks
Mike
I think Microsoft Teams working on expanding the video grid from 2x2 to potentially 3x3, which would allow us to see up to 9 people at once. It sounds like they're aware of the need, especially with so many people working from home these days. I haven't seen an update yet on when exactly this will roll out, but it's definitely something they're looking into. Hopefully, it'll be available soon to make our meetings even more productive. Keep an eye out for updates!
I think you're right, Microsoft Teams has been working on expanding the video grid to 3x3, and it's great to see they're addressing the need for better visibility in larger meetings, especially with remote work being so prevalent. While the exact rollout date isn't confirmed yet, it's clear that this feature is in development and will be a welcome improvement. It’s fascinating how these platforms are evolving to make virtual interactions more engaging. Let’s hope the Teams update rolls out soon!
Mikehopkins18 I was one of the only team members at my company that had not received the 3x3 update, but logging out and back in revealed the new functionality.
and now the Pop Out Chat windows!! Microsoft on a roll !!
Getting warmed up for Tasks in Teams!
- It would be really great to have that facility.
I suppose they kept the 2*2 feature because not more than 4 people would be speaking/contributing in the conference video call.
If more than 4 people talk in the call then it may turn out to be a jumble.
Hence they must have kept the 2*2 thing. hello
Mikehopkins18 Microsoft has confirmed that this feature will be rolled out in June 2020. It will not be enabled by default until later to give people a chance to get used to the new features first.
See attached screenshot of Microsoft's release.
Is there any news on when it will be improved in Citrix.
You can only see one person at a time when using Teams in Citrix!!
Zoom doesn't have that problem...
Thanks
Hi,
I suspect you are viewing on a browser on Citrix and that is normally more restrictive.
If your IT Team download the Teams App for you then you will see 4 and more in the longer term.
Generally you will get less functionality via a browser than an App, and that applies to Zoom as well.

Interesting that this timing does not quite align with various bits of publicity or what is stated on the vote page:
Has anyone heard further updates on the 3x3, 9 people roll out?

It also shows progress ie you should see 9 people shortly.

Thanks for the link, Derek_Hart !
Seems they better act quickly or they are going to lose even more customers... quite a frustrated forum at the moment. Let's hope they prioritize it! Thanks again.
- Our team if 6 meets twice a week. But seem to have difficulty seeing all six people on line at once.
Hi
Can you vote here to keep the pressure on Microsft to deliver.
Thanks.
Microsoft just posted today on UserVoice that this is coming this month:
