RM557179 - Microsoft Teams: Minimized meeting window enhancements

Microsoft 365 Roadmap

Summary

We're improving the experience when the active meeting window is minimized. Users can now raise their hand and send reactions without restoring the full meeting window. They can also choose between two minimized views: an expanded view that shows up to 4 participant videos, or a compact view that does not display other participants' video.
