The Microsoft Teams Front Row feature has been optimized to create equal viewing in presentations by placing the gallery of attendees at eye level and content at the center, with collaboration tools visible for better communication. This is all in an ultra-wide digital canvas with a 21:9 aspect ratio.

With the rise of the virtual office, we are seeing many new technologies, devices, and third-party meeting apps come to the market. It is important for employers to invest in the right tools to ensure employees are set up for success, whether they are joining meetings from home or in the office. With this, projection technology has become more advanced and easier to use, allowing companies to display their conference rooms in real-time at large ratios.
