This is what I realized is uncomfortable about camera on group meetings in teams - I can't mute other people's video, and so it feels intensely weird to have a wall of people staring blankly at you.

This has been a feature since 2020 [1]. Similarly exists in zoom now.

> I can't mute other people's video

you can switch to another tab, use a miniplayer, in some apps u can focus one person's screen and if you choose someone who has a static avatar up you'll barely see other people's faces.

The nuclear option is to install PowerToys [0] and put something always on top (im a fan of the hotkey winkey+space to toggle always-on-top on and off) in the exact position of the other video feeds. notepad or something.

You can totally turn off incoming video on msteams. What you can't is have it as a default setting afaik.
