Adjust your view in a Meeting
Teams tries to anticipate what you’ll want to see in a meeting. As a student, you have the ability to customize your view.
-
Switch between people and content When someone's sharing a presentation, you can switch between viewing the content and the people in the room by clicking on the video or PowerPoint presentation you're interested in. (click in the bottom right-hand corner)
- Pin a video Right-click a video within the meeting and select Pin. The video will be shown regardless of who's currently speaking. You can pin multiple videos or right-click any pinned video and select Unpin at any time.

Everyone has the ability to adjust their settings in Teams. We recommend turning off your chat notifications.
