Changing the Layout

Within each conference is a Layout icon, which is the second icon from the right in the lower corner. This enables the users to modify their view of the meeting experience. Depending on the meeting, one of the following layout options might make more sense than others:

• Gallery View—This view uses a mixture of video or photos along the top of the screen, and then shows the shared content below.

• Speaker View—This view focuses on the active speaker. The current speaker’s video is displayed next to the shared content.

• Presentation View—This view removes the video from the display and focuses on only the shared content.

• Compact View—This view hides the video and shared content. The user can hear audio and see the participant list.

While in the Gallery View, right-click any user’s photo video feed and select Pin to Gallery to always show that content. The Gallery View is displayed in Figure 25.5.
