Virtual interview set-up | HR Support |
Interviews on Microsoft Teams | Marketing, Recruitment and Admissions | University of Chester
I selected and uploaded a background in advance. Before my interview, I clicked on the background and the check-mark appeared. I could see the background to my image.
When I was admitted from Lobby to my interview, baclground disappeared and there was no option to get it back. I had to do the wentire interview with an innapproprioate background, despite the fact that I hgad spent 45 minutes days earlier uploading and de-mirroring propoer backgrounds and practicing with the sysytem.
The practicing with the systenm bore no resemblance at all, NONE, to the actual Teams experience in use. Then I was admitted from the lobby to my interview. My camera was on, the camera icon said my camera was on, connected, and working, and I had just seen myself in the lobby.
But my interviewers could not see my image. They could see my intials only. My screen came up as Speaker View, I wanted to see all speakers on-screen total of 5 all at oncec for the entire interview. There is no option visible to manipulate my screen at all, in any way, to fix the display on Teams during an interview so I can see everyone.
All I get is a thumbnail of the speaker, a larger, poor-quality pixilated herky-jerky useless image of the same thumbnail, and a view of myself in the lower Right-hand corner of the screen. I needed to move the view of myself up and to the center, and I need to be able to see everyone. Nothing could be moved, arranged, changed, modified, customized, or otherwise adapted on my screen. The overall experience felt like a 4th-grade science fair effort. Not useful or acceptable. Yet I am apparently stuck with a life sentence of this, as I have numerous Teams events calendared.
Sounds more like you or the interviewers have a poor internet connection that is causing many of the issues you are seeing. If the connection is poor Teams will limit the features you can use. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Generally, we can change our background before a meeting starts, select Background effects. It is just to the right of the video switch. Your background options will display on the right.
Due to the dynamic nature of calculating the maximum number of supported video feeds, it's possible that some users in a meeting will see the maximum of nine participant videos while other users see fewer video feeds. As SolarEclipseReturns said, if you or the interviewers have a poor internet connection, Teams will limit the features you can use.
I suggest you switch to a strong signal network environment to check the results. Besides, there is a new Meeting and Calling feature that could open a pop-up meeting window in the Teams desktop app, I suggest you turn it on for better experience.
So if bandwidth is the problem w Teams, its a design flaw and not my responsibility. You should get it fixed on your end. I practiced w the system in advance and installed a background. I had the background up and visible while I was in the lobby waiting to be let in to the interview. It disappeared once I entered the interview. And why do backgrounds disappear after they are selected? If I have the background up and visible in the lobby, and it is stripped once I enter the interview, this is a design flaw that needs to be fixed on your end.
Once I was in the interview, the thumbnail of my own image was displayed at the very bottom edge of the screen and could not be re-positioned. Your competitors' products, all of which I have used, allow for positioning of the user's image. I needed it to be at the top of the screen and close to center.
Why is it cemented permanently in the bottom R-hand corner? There seemed to be no way to display images of panel interviewers, although all of them were using cameras at all times, unless the individusl panel member was speaking. When they were speaking, 2 images of them displayed on the screeen, 1 thumbnail and 1 full-screen.
If 2 images can display of the speaker, plus my image at ankle level, why can't the system display the panel thumbnails? Why is there no mechanism displayed on-screen allowing this adjustment? My camera was displaying as "On" and the icon on-screen said camera "connected', yet the interview panel could not see me. I knew I was on-camera because I had seen myself along w the magical disappearing custom background I wasted 40 minutes flipping and installing while waiting to be admitted.
Again, camera problems only started when the interview started, not when I logged in and started the process. So, unlikely to be a user failure.
Rather, your product was failing - it was stripping backgrounds, shutting off video, etc. Being on-camera was a requirement of the interview. Audio only was not an option for this interview. So, failure after failure after failure, despite practicing and installing and flipping images, and, and, and, Not a viable product for anything more sophisticated than learning shapes in pre-school, it appears. And yet, I am sentenced to this for all time, apparently, as numerous meetings and events are scheduled into the future.
For these reasons, I need real help, not random syllables from individuals who read, but do not think about what they have read.
I require a system that works, including backgrounds, video streams, image displays, etc. Eventually, I will need to screenshare, which seems utterly impossible, considering everything so far About the background issue, I suggest you sign into Teams on the web to run a test, by this way, we can know if the problem is coming from desktop client.
If it works on web client, please re-install the Teams application to check the results. Based on my experience, when we are in a Teams video call, our own image cemented in the bottom R-hand corner, if you have suggestions for improvement, we sincerely recommend you posting a feedback at Teams user Voice , let our program engineer listen to your opinions.
Your understanding is highly appreciated. May I know if you can select Gallery view option in a meeting? I understand your situation is that when you enter the meeting from lobby, your video image disappears. Please also try the web client to see the results. When did the problem start?
