Microsoft Teams is finally introducing a “Hide Your Own Video” to its Teams meeting after more than 5,000 irritated users complained about a feature that always keeps them in mind during online meetings.
Â
Currently, the personal view is always static in the lower right corner of a Teams meeting.
Â
“This is often annoying and can also interfere with screen sharing,” complained users of Microsoft’s community forum.
Â
“It’s instructive to learn how many Teams users describe the experience of constantly looking at themselves. A word that keeps coming up is exhausting, ”the report said.
Â
One of these users posted on the Microsoft community board: “I’m both a woman and a new hire and seeing myself is very entertaining and exhausting. As a result, I almost always turn off my camera for all my meetings, although that makes it even more difficult to connect with my colleagues, which is a disappointment as a new hire ”.
Â
According to Microsoft, the new feature allowing Teams users to hide their own video is expected to launch this month.
Â
“Thank you for your opinion! The team is currently working on introducing this capability, ”the company said.
Â
“Please integrate it quickly. It’s so boring to have your own photo on your face all the time in meetings,” one user replied.
