Ugh, people who share their video on a call are so distracting.

Teams ensures anyone sharing video is always very prominently displayed, meaning you always see them moving or shifting around even when you're trying to focus on other things like a presentation.

@faoluin turn off incoming video.

@hax Shit, you can do that?

@faoluin its that little gear menu, near the bottom "stop incoming video". It doesn't disable screen share so you still can see that.

I turn it on immedately for every call. I don't want to see my tired coworkers faces at 8 AM

@hax I'll look for it next time I'm in a call! Although, a quick web search also makes it look like they removed that feature in an update last year? That wouldn't surprise me...

@toydragon Very few of my coworkers actually use it, unless they're upper management. That seems to be the only class of people that really care about seeing your face during a powerpoint presentation, lol.
