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.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I am also seeing this problem since last 2 days. The turning off gallery issue was bad enough and it just got worse.
I want to focus on content full screen, without unnecessarily viewing my own name/video in the gallery.
Same issue here. Gallery stays checked regardless of anything I've tried. I can get rid of other attendees from the gallery but not myself and significant screen real estate is wasted as a result.

Yes, I just noticed that since the last update. So in response to constant requests to make it vanish they have made it permanent! Maybe we should all request that they make it permanent and their reverse logic engineers might get it right!
When I want to focus on shared content, I see my own image taking up 20% of the screen.
Please add more information to the screen that is not related to the shared content, such as conversations, device settings, and the weather forecast, until it is impossible to read the shared content.
