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 totally agree. In other meeting software like Zoom, I can position the videos across the Top, allowing my eyes to focus up near my camera. (I assume most people's cameras are located at the Top of their monitors, and NOT at the bottom.)
That would be a great feature of teams, well said Daryl. But it would also be great if you can pick up your own camera window and put it wherever you like on the screen as you can do in other systems.
It appears this is available in uservoice at "41235238-rearrange-video-pane-window-in-teams". But very few votes. Maybe a link to where to vote will help: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/41235238-rearrange-video-pane-window-in-teams
I would like to suggest that there is also an option to have the person who is currently speaking to appear in the top centre of the screen on the participants ribbon. So that your focus is immediately below the camera so as to maintain eye contact.
An enthusiastic +1 on this idea. At the very least, moving the images to the top of screen or allowing for manually moving them around.
Agreed! Needs to happen please. This should be an easy GUI fix. I call it a fix because it seems so obvious to have participants at the top.
