Microsoft Teams Curtain Reveal Tech Bulletin Header

Message Summary

Currently, the layouts available for attendees who join using the view-only experience (which is available to attendees who join after the meeting capacity has been reached) in Microsoft Teams are limited to a single screen that only shows the content shared or a single video showing the active speaker if no content is shared. This same layout limitation exists when you utilize the Custom Streaming app or the Workplace Live app in Teams to broadcast your meeting.

With this change, we will be updating the layouts that an attendee in the view-only experience would see and the layouts that are produced by the Customer Streaming app or the Workplace Live app. We will be supporting the following new layouts: 

  • Up to 9 videos on stage at one time in a 3×3 fashion (with no content being shared)
  • Side-by-side layout when the content is shared (up to 7 videos will be shown at a time with content)

When this will happen:

We will begin rolling out in late April and expect to complete rollout by early May.

How this will affect your organization:

Attendees who join after the meeting has reached capacity and those viewing a feed that is created by the Customer streaming app or the Workplace Live app will receive new layouts.

What you need to do to prepare:

You do not need to do anything to prepare. These layouts will be automatically available to you and your tenant. For additional information, please visit this documentation.
