To turn on the new meeting experience in Teams:

  1. In the Teams desktop app, click on your profile picture in the corner and choose "Settings."
  2. Under the general settings, there is a checkbox that says "Turn on new meeting experience." Check that checkbox.

** Check this setting periodically. Occasionally, you may find that the checkbox becomes unchecked.


To view all of your students in Large Gallery mode (i.e. in a 7x7 grid):

  1. Start a meeting
  2. Click on the ellipsis
  3. Choose "Large Gallery"

** Large Gallery will only be an option if you have enough participants in the meeting, and if a large number of them have their cameras turned on.
