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?

This feature is not available in Microsoft Teams, however you may share it as feedback (or if similar feedback exist upvote it) on UserVoice for Microsoft Teams:
Agree that you should be able to move the videos to the top of the screen. Most PCs and laptops have the camera at the top so having the videos near the camera helps with eye contact. Some laptops have cameras at the bottom (weirdly) but they always end up showing the person's chin and the ceiling. Please fix this Microsoft! You can move the cams in most conferencing apps.
I agree! Please create this feature!
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.
Yes please add this feature. Seems like a real oversight on MS part to not have this functionality.
