Turning on Large Gallery View and Together Mode in Teams

Overview

Large gallery view in Teams lets you see up to 49 video streams at once and is available when there are 10 or more attendees who are sharing video. Together mode is designed so you feel like you’re in the same shared space with everyone in the meeting and is available when 5 or more participants are sharing video. Changing the view only applies to you. Participants in the meeting would need to also change the view if they wish to see large gallery view or together mode. Before using these options, you’ll first need to enable the new meeting experience in Teams.

  1. While in Teams, click your profile pic at the top right, then Settings > General. (General should be what’s showing when you open Settings, so you probably won’t have to select it.)
