Teams-for-linux: Grid/tile view missing

[akaihola]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Microsoft added up to 7x7 grid view of video call participants to their Teams client in May 2020. See Grid View in Microsoft Teams on answers.microsoft.com.

Is this something that should show up in the teams-for-linux client automatically or does it need to be implemented separately?

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to have a grid view automatically enabled in teams-for-linux

Describe alternatives you've considered
Trying out the proprietary Linux Teams client from Microsoft to see whether grid view works there. I haven't done that yet.

Additional context
Huge thanks @IsmaelMartinez and contributors for keeping the teams-for-linux client updated and working. When Microsoft's own Linux client came out, I evaluated both clients and found teams-for-linux to be more reliable and work in a way I preferred. Besides, it's valuable to have an Open Source option alive even if the proprietary one works well.

Hi, thanks for the request.

This client is base on the browser one so it will get the multiple screens once the browser gets it.

I did try to see if I could hack something but it isn't an easy task.

Thanks

It's supposed to be rolled out this March (see https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=70573), but possibly only for recent Chromium versions, as noted here: https://practical365.com/blog/recent-improvements-rolling-out-make-teams-meetings-better/

So an electron upgrade would probably be needed to get this.
