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

Anonymous

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?

It has been months since hundreds of people said it is a MUST HAVE FIX, and Teams team still debating. Honestly, it is a basic UX requirement. Requires a high priority!

This is a must fix. Having people stare at the bottom of their screen when their camera is always on the top of their screen or above is just silly. Please fix this!!!!
