Microsoft Teams: Minimized meeting window enhancements

Originally posted by Microsoft Mar 5, 2026 Uncategorized 0 Comments

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.
