Updates to Teams on iOS

Those who use Teams on Apple mobile devices will soon see enhanced features on iOS during Teams meetings. 

Teams will now offer a scrollable participant tray making it possible to see more participants during the meeting.  At present, the grid view allows iOS users to see only 8 participants on smartphones and 9 participants on tablets.  This update allows users to scroll through to see up to 15 participants on smartphones and 20 on tablets.

These new changes will also allow iOS users to see both shared content and the participant tray.  Previously, iOS users could only see shared content and 1 participant.  This update also provides enhanced visual indicators around active speakers and displays their names in a more accessible format.

This update will also include an option for users view meeting content and pinned or spotlighted participants side-by-side at the same time.
