Microsoft Teams recently gained a new meeting experience. The new experience brings a large gallery view that shows up to 49 feeds at once, pops calls and meetings into separate windows, and adds together mode. It also moves meeting controls to the top of a meeting screen, moves Meeting notes into the Meeting notes tab in the main Teams window, and adds support for Focus mode. Overall, the new experience makes it easier to organize your calls and get work done while also using video calls and meetings in Teams. For many people, the best new feature is a large gallery view, which allows more people to appear in a meeting at once.
