Now the squares that have no video and could have been easily put away elsewhere are now big as ever and colorful!

Fuck full screen of presentations! You need to see people’s names on big ass squares covering the entire screen! That’s where the money is! There is always a banana stand! (Don’t know the context)

    This actually is an improvement. Not everyone wants to be on camera and for those folks, getting pushed off to the sidebar often means they’re overlooked.

    This at least means they’re given the same importance as anyone else.

    No idea what the rant about presentations is about, when anyone presents it becomes the main content and everyone - camera or not - gets pushed to the sidebar. You can also pop out presentation content to give it it’s own dedicated window.

    I hate teams as a communication platform, but the presentation and meeting views are actually pretty well done compared to the competition.

    Honestly, I prefer this Zoom-style view over the way teams segmented put camera-off people in that tray. Those people often got skipped over.

      Zoom is so much better. Teams doesn’t even identify which screen pre-share. Oh you want to annotate or highlighter point? Install a plugin but only if you’re the organizer or allowed by the sharing party, and only if you’re using the native app.

    Much better UX, not hiding people that have turned off their camera.

    Chill out, man. And also don’t be a dumbass.

      Jitsi is one part of the solution. You need to integrate it into a messenger like matrix + element, and a dial in system / SIP trunk for rough parity. It’s a little resource intensive to self host but well worth doing nonetheless.

        True, integrating it into nextcloud is also a solution + it can replace MS Office completely
