Additional meeting and call-related features and issues within Microsoft Teams for business
Fair enogh - I rarely use video so it usually my badge photo.
In a Teams meeting, is it possible to turn the Gallery view OFF?

In a Teams meeting, is it possible to turn the Gallery view OFF (in the same way that the Participant list can be displayed/hidden)?
Gallery view is great for a multi-party conversation. But when I'm viewing a presentation and the presenter is doing a screen share, I find little value in watching other attendees drink their coffee, scratch their nose, and generally engage in monkey-grooming behavior as if they were looking in a mirror and not a camera.

2022-02-03T20:49:35+00:00 I don't understand why Mircosoft sees fit to show me my own face in the Gallery. Do they think I need to be reminded of what I look like? As if I don't see myself every moring and night in the mirror as I brush my teeth?!
Personally, I like that feature. It lets me see if I am showing up too dark, or if the camera is not correctly aligned to where I want it.

You might have hit the nail on the head as to why this is useful :-) -
