Changing participant layout

In rooms that have video chat enabled, you can choose whether to view participants in circular or rectangular thumbnails. Circular thumbnails are compact and space-saving, whilst rectangular thumbnails show a wider view of a participants webcams. You can also use 'Spotlight' to show an active speaker window at the top of the participants list.

Change the layout

  • Click the circle icon at the top of the left sidebar to view participant videos as circular thumbnails.
  • Click the rectangle icon at the top of the left sidebar to view participant videos as rectangular thumbnails.

Toggle Spotlight

  • Clicking the flashlight icon at the top of the left sidebar (to the right of the circle and rectangle icons) to toggle Spotlight on or off.
note

Changing the layout inside a room will only affect the layout for you - it will not affect the layout for all participants. Default layout settings for a room are configured by the room host.
