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.

When I attempted to uncheck the Gallery, nothing happened. Gallery is non responsive. (check mark is still in place)
Agree this is new. Previously unchecking "Gallery" and checking "Focus" resulted in the pictures going away and the presentation enlarging. Now the pictures are gone, except for my own, and the presentation remains at the reduced size. I don't know how long this has been--a few weeks?
@ Microsoft, any plans to fix the bug as this is a very important feature used by people on a daily basis.
Exactly. i see the checkbox too. i really really really don't want to see the gallery, and it does look like there's a check. no one is answering the question on how to turn it off.
I agree that it does not seem logical to be able to check it and not be able to uncheck it. Have you seen that there is a solution yet? Thanks.

I agree. This is happening for me too. I look forward to a solution.
