M365 Changelog: Paging in Large Gallery

MC263055 – Updated December 07, 2021: To ensure an optimal experience Microsoft will not be rolling out Video Gallery (3×3) at this time. They will communicate via Message center when they are ready to proceed.

This feature introduces paging to help you view up to 98 videos by choosing Large Gallery (Teams meetings currently supports up to 49 videos). This is rolling out on Windows, desktop and Mac.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 84464 and 86480

When this will happen:

• Large Gallery (9×9): Microsoft will begin rolling this out in late June and expect to complete rollout by mid-July. Complete
• Video Gallery (3×3): Microsoft will communicate via Message center when they are ready to proceed.

How this will affect your organization:

When you choose Large Gallery, and if there are more than 49 videos, navigation controls < and > would appear below the Large Gallery and you can use these controls to view or engage with more video participants.

Note: The same functionality of paging will soon be available (September) in normal 3×3 Gallery.

What you need to do to prepare:

You might want to notify your users about this new capability and update your training and documentation as appropriate.
