TEAMS - How to move the 'camera/video bar' from the bottom to the top of the screen

Anonymous

Hello, when on TEAMS I systematically have the bar displaying all the faces / videos of participants locked at the bottom of the screen (under the control bar). Its a pain as my own camera is on top of my screen. Is there a way to move (like on Zoom or Webex) this bar of 'faces' to the top of the screen?

Thank you

Eric

    Dear MS team,

    Please consider the request being discussed in this tread as a extremelyrelevant feature you should include in your backlog and deliver ASAP. Consider some of us spend 8+ hours a day looking at the bottom part of our laptops causing significant neck pain because you missed to allow the user to move the camera/video bar to the top, side or even to another screen. This feature has been in ZOOM for the longest time...

    Again, PLEASE think about the hundreds of thousands / millions of people using your tool on a daily basis for several hours.

    Hi Joey,

    there is no mystery here, the request is simply how can I move the bar with all the videos from the participant from the bottom part of the screen to the upper part of the screen. Very simple.

    Bye,

    Alfonso

    This is a very basic best practice requirement that Microsoft has completely missed.

    For the best immersive video conference experience, the best practice is to ensure that the participants are experiencing that the other participants to be looking into the camera, i.e. at you.  The only way to achieve this is to allow the video presentation windows to be moved to the best location, such as close to a webcam or specifically to another window in a multi-screen setup.

    While we wait for this requirement, we for important meetings  recommend the use of competing products like Zoom, Webex and Gotomeeting that fully meet these requirements

    Best regards

    I agree with Alfonso - and have the same issue. All of my colleagues faces appear at the bottom of the screen and I would like to put that bar across the top so that it is closer to the video camera on my laptop.  How do we make this change? It should be very simple, but I have not been able to figure it out given what should be normal UX experiences.

    Joey- Microsoft Agent - 

     I have the same issue. When someone is SHARING a document ---

    All of my co-workers' faces appear at the BOTTOM of the screen and I would like to put that bar across the TOP of the screen so that it is closer to the video camera on my laptop. 

    **How do we make this change?

    ?
