Flexible layout for Teams meetings with resizable divider

Updated April 7, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. Introduction We’re introducing a new flexible layout option in future Teams meetings to give users more control over how shared content and participant videos appear. A resizable divider will let users adjust the space between shared content and the video gallery. Want to focus more on the presentation? Expand the content area. Prefer to see more people? Shrink the content area to make room for more video tiles. Users can also swap the position of content and participants to suit their viewing preference. This works with spotlighted speakers, pinned videos, and Speaker View, providing a more personalized meeting experience—especially helpful on larger or ultra-wide screens.Screenshot 1: When someone is sharing content or when you are in Speaker view, grab the divider between the left and right views to resize them. Screenshot 2. When you drag the divider to the left, you will see more people in the right gallery view. When you drag the divider to the right, you will see less people in the gallery but the content or speaker will become larger.
