Microsoft Teams To Deliver Dynamic View Mode To Enhance Your Presentation Experience
Picture yourself in a virtual meeting, and someone is going over Q4 company stats in PowerPoint with spinning transitions and buzzwords like “synergy” and “paradigms.” Though you were already bored, it does not help that the presenter or presentation looks small on the screen, so you cannot even attempt to focus even if you wanted to.

In March, Microsoft Teams is getting a Dynamic View feature that will do automatic optimizations or let users personalize their view in Teams.
Remco de Kramer, Product Marketing Manager for Modern Work at Microsoft, posted on LinkedIn about Microsoft Teams' future. Rather than have the presenter or presentation appear small, Dynamic View will show “content & video side-by-side” while allowing automatic or manual adjustments to the gallery. He posted a brief trailer about the feature coming in March below.
Before this feature rolls out, Microsoft Teams will also be getting “custom layouts for meetings” in February. The Microsoft 365 Roadmap says the following about the feature:
