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?

    Approaching a year later... and this still isn't a feature added? C'mon, MS. This isn't some simple cosmetic thing people are asking for. It literally points directly to function of your hardware and software. And as many in these replies have stated, many people aren't using Teams for their videoconferencing literally due to this UI oversight alone. Get with it!

    Yes I agree as well! I have multiple meetings every day in both Zoom and Teams. Many people raise hands, shake their heads, etc. and so I always want to look at their video. So as a result I'm always looking down when in a Teams meeting. Need video up by your camera.....TOP of screen!
