Moving the participants' videos to the top instead of bottom of screen

It would be great if when a user is sharing their screen during a video call, the list of participants and their small video feeds were shown above the shared content rather than below it. Many times people are looking at themselves or other participants when speaking, and it looks to others like their eyes are closed. By moving the user's own image and the images of others to the top of the screen, above the shared content, there's a better likelihood that users will be looking upwards towards the camera rather than down.

Can this be changed in user settings or is this an optimization request?

    Even better, let me move the participants videos to my 2nd monitor while viewing someone else's presentation.

    This is a needed feature. Zoom and Google have this capability. On Teams you always see everyone looking down vs at the screen because that is where all the video is shown. Just move it to the top of the screen and be done.
