Microsoft Teams: Video tile re-sizing based on people count for Teams Rooms on Windows

Microsoft Teams will soon update the Gallery view, allowing it to dynamically resize room video tiles based on participant count to optimize visibility in Teams Rooms. This new feature, which begins rolling out in mid-August 2024, is meant to ensure adequate and equitable space allocation in the Gallery view. If there is only one participant in a room, the video tile will be the same size as another remote participant tile. If there are more participants in the room, the room video tile will remain optimized and be four times the size of a remote participant's tile.

This feature requires Cloud IntelliFrame or a camera with ASP capability to determine the number of people in a room. Admins can disable this feature using the EnableRoomPeopleCount XML setting for Microsoft Teams Room. This update is enabled by default and is expected to provide a better experience for remote participants in Teams meetings, with the updated Gallery view exemplifying two different-sized room participants.

Overall, the new feature helps optimize visibility in Teams Rooms and ensures that all participants are visible in an equitable way.
