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?

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 highly agree. If there is a default and it can't be moved, it should be top, center, near the webcam on most computer setups.
Wow... this comment/request was created on March 31 and it still isn't implemented yet? Just started using teams for video conferencing and immediate first thing I noticed is that I can't move the video bar up to the top - just absolutely terrible UX (it should be top by default - who thought it should go on the bottom???).
+1 (currently very annoying)
I agree. with laptop cameras at the top why would they not make this the default so you can look at the folks on the screen when in presentation mode. Crazy!
I have the same problem. With the increased use of video-calls creating as much eye-to-eye interaction as possible will help. That's why I use Zoom for important meetings, where I can move the participant gallery nearer to the camera.
