The Teams webapp is hot garbage though. On video you can't even see all the participants. It's years behind Google Meet and Zoom.

- spicybright 4y agoIt's the same for the desktop version. Not being able to see everyone is egregious.
- DHPersonal 4y agoI think it's meant to save on bandwidth/resources by only showing the "speaking" video feeds.
- Nextgrid 4y agoIt's most likely still receiving all feeds in the background though.
- DHPersonal 4y agoYou may be right. I don’t know how it works. I’ve noticed that when a new video-enabled user shows up on the screen, there is a delay between the user profile showing and the video overlay presenting itself, so I was assuming that was where a stream was being started for that video feed.
- kortex 4y agoYes, although I'm not sure if the hidden streams use bandwidth. Also, to the best of my knowledge, Teams handles individual streams usually, while meet usually muxes them to save bandwidth. Zoom is easily the most efficient of the big four and I think uses a whole bunch of compression tricks.
- pvorb 4y agoIt's somehow still using more bandwidth than Google Meet with the same number of video streams.

- spartanatreyu 4y agoI'm pretty sure the video limit for teams is 25 simultaneous video feeds (in a 5x5 grid) and anything more than that gets switched in and out as people talk. Is there a real use case for seeing more than 25 users' video feeds at a time?
