Microsoft Teams Video Chat

Question

I know Microsoft Teams added additional video squares for virtual meetings (similar to Zoom) over the weekend. We are doing a virtual event where the four boxes have been perfect. Is there a way to limit how many video boxes can be displayed?

Answer 1

Hi @Austin, Tirza
no there is no such kind of settings.

Yep, looks like they are working on it.

Hope soon we will get an option to control the max number of video streams.

Hi AustinTirza-7552,

Now, the video layout in Teams is changing to support video feeds for up to nine meeting participants. This number will be increased even further in the future to allow more participants to be views simultaneously.
