======================================================================

One of the most annoying aspects of tinkering with your Microsoft Teams video 
feed could soon be fixed thanks to a new update. 

The video conferencing platform is working on an upgrade that it says "eases 
the transition" at several points within a call - namely when turning your 
video feed on and off. 

The update, simply named "mixed grid view in meetings", will place all call 
participants in a 16:9 ratio, meaning Microsoft Teams users should lose that 
slightly overwhelming moment that occurs when someone switches their camera 
off, causing everyone else's display window to shuffle around and resize.

The update will also offer users several other customization options for 
their Microsoft Teams calls, including the ability to change their grid size 
by choosing one of several predefined options. 

"As the new version of Gallery, this is the default view users will have upon 
joining meetings," the company noted, adding that users can choose to go back 
to this view through the view switcher as desired. 

The feature is still listed in the official Microsoft 365 roadmap as being 
"in development" for now, with the rollout set to begin in June 2023. Upon 
launch, it will initially only be available for Windows desktop users, before 
hopefully expanding to others soon after. Read more

The update is the latest in a series of changes made by the company to make 
sure Microsoft Teams is a smooth and intuitive experience. 

This includes the recent announcement that Microsoft Teams would finally be 
getting video filters , which the company hopes will allow users to express 
their own personality, as well as mask the features they don't want revealed. 

Among the initial visual effects are animated frames and video hue altering, 
on top of existing tools that allow users to blur backgrounds and soften the 
video feed to hide blemishes. Check out our rundown of the best online
