Microsoft Teams on the web already supports Together Mode and Large Gallery

Currently, Microsoft no longer limits these two features to the Windows desktop app. Instead, Microsoft officially allows Together Mode and Large Gallery to be available on both versions of Teams running on a web browser. This will make Together Mode and Large Gallery available on more platforms.

Both Together Mode and Large Gallery are available on Teams web version for you to experiment with. However, you will need to have the latest Chrome and Edge (Chromium core) browsers installed before you can use these two features.

If you don't already know, Together Mode uses AI segmentation technology to place the people in the meeting into a shared virtual space. This makes them feel like they're sitting in the same conference room as other people or sitting in a lecture hall . 

Meanwhile, Large Gallery allows you to watch up to 49 video streams at once.

To use Together Mode and Large Gallery, in the meeting view, click on the menu (.) then choose Together Mode or Large Gallery. Note that virtual machines such as VMWare and Citrix will not be fully supported.

The market for distance learning and meeting applications is growing strongly. The leader is Zoom and behind the big guys are continuously improving their services and applications to keep up with Zoom.
