This setting lets participants stop rendering other attendees' video feeds without leaving the meeting, reducing CPU load and data consumption. It is especially useful for large calls, remote workers with limited internet, or anyone who needs to focus on audio and shared content only. Knowing how to access this option quickly through the Teams View menu can significantly improve the meeting experience.
