TL;DR:
Microsoft are bringing new usability improvements to Together Mode in Microsoft Teams. Name labels attached to videos will indicate microphone, active speaker, spotlight and pin. Raised hands and reactions will also be shown. Your own video feed will now be removed from the gallery while Together Mode is active to avoid duplication of the self-preview. Due early to mid-June 2023.
Details:
Microsoft: “When users go to View -> Together mode during their meeting they will be able to see reactions, raised hands and name labels with additional statuses like active speaker, pin or spotlight. This makes Together Mode more inclusive and easier to understand what is happening in the meeting”.
Availability:
Due early to mid-June 2023.
