Microsoft Teams: Can I Get Rid of Gallery View?
By default, the meeting view in Microsoft Teams is set to Gallery.
There is no option to disable Gallery View altogether.
you’re able to only move the gallery to the side or top of the screen.
Switching to Full screen mode doesnt remove the Gallery sidebar.
Many users agree the current Gallery-focused meeting view is somewhat counter-intuitive.
If you use the list of participants on the right side of the screen, then Gallery becomes redundant.
The Gallery option stays checked no matter what you do.
It looks like the space-eating black pane is here to stay.
Microsoft has yet to explain the reasons behind this UI change ignoring fierce negative feedback from users.
Not being able to view a presentation on the whole screen can be really annoying.
The feature stays checked no matter what meeting view options you select.
