Hi all. My partner is using Microsoft Teams for work meetings at the moment and she is having difficulty as she can only see 4 people on the screen at once. We are running it on my laptop which is running Manjaro and we have version 1.3.00.16851-1 installed from the AUR which appears to be the latest build. How does she enable seeing more than 4 people at once?

    You can't do anything from your end.
    3*3 video grid was available to Linux users for few days and then it was gone.
    It's all done by a server code.
    God knows what's going on with linux version.
    2 months since last update, no one knows anything and no one is going to tell you anything about the roadmap

    @Will Adams ,

    This feature is not supported now.

    It is hard for us to know the real-time update progress of the Teams for Linux because we are not the development team.

    It recommends you contact Microsoft support to know more by this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/contactus/.

    Thanks for your understanding.

    This is no answer, and ridiculous.
    As mentioned we get randomly functions Enabled and Disabled.

    As a work around, I use teams in Chrome and select the preview mode. You can also join this without audio/video so you won't have to leave the native app or have issues with setting up sound/video with the browser or have the screen sharing issues that browser has. Still annoying though. :-/
