"New" Teams meet now defaults to audio call not video call

Hello all,

 

Just been updated to Teams version 23285.3607.2525.937 and in this version, calling other users behaviour in the UI has been changed to instead of having two distinct buttons for either an Audio or Video call, there is now a "Meet Now" button with a drop down where the main click option defaults to an audio call.


This is a poor change to the UI design and I also cannot see an option to set video calls to be the default meet now option, is there an option to change the default behaviour and where is it?

  • Agreed. Poor UI Design for a feature frequently accessed. - this is generating many end user tickets thinking something is broken or complaining. I'm checking with our orgs Teams admin to see if there are any settings that can be changed there but I doubt it if there's nothing on client side. Hopefully we see a rollback on this one or a way to pin it.
