While in a meeting there are 4 different view modes to choose from. Each person on the call has control over their own view.

To change the view in a meeting, select View and select the view you want to use.

Speaker View

Speaker view will switch the large video window between who is speaking with 3 or more participants in the meeting. If it is just you and one other participant, your video will be smaller at the top and their video will appear below. 

Pinning a participant will keep them as the largest video for your view of the meeting, while spotlighting will do the same but for everyone in the meeting. 

Gallery view

Gallery view lets you see thumbnail displays of participants, in a grid pattern, which expands and contracts as participants join and leave the meeting. Depending on your CPU, the desktop client can display up to 25 or 49 participants in a single screen of the Gallery view. If more attendees than are allowed to be displayed are in the meeting, additional pages are created with your max number of thumbnails on each page. Cycle through the pages and view up to 1,000 thumbnails by clicking the right or left arrows in gallery view to display the next page of participants.

The order of the videos in Gallery view can also be rearranged to suit your needs, as well as saved for use in later sessions. 

When in Gallery view and a participant begins speaking, that active speaker is relocated to the current page you are viewing and highlighted, making it easier to recognize who is speaking. This functionality is not possible when using a custom gallery order, as the order will remain in place. 

Multi-speaker view

Multi-speaker view provides meeting participants a more engaging experience, dynamically adapting to current speakers by highlighting and enlarging their video tiles over others, while still providing a view of other participants in a smaller gallery view below. With 4 or fewer participants, gallery view is used instead, but with sufficient participants, up to 4 active speaker(s) will have their video tile enlarged and made the focus of the meeting. Pinning videos is supported with multi-speaker layout, keeping the pinned video in focus, but spotlighting is not supported, as the spotlighted video tile will take control of the video layout for all. 

Immersive view allows you to recreate the feel of your class or conference room by placing up to 25 video participants onto a single virtual background. Participants are automatically placed onto provided scenes and the host can adjust the arrangements as needed. The host can also use their own custom background for a unique scene. While this does not require use of the Virtual Background feature, it does work best when everyone has this functionality. When screen sharing, the Immersive View ends and is replaced by the shared screen. When sharing stops, the Immersive View begins again with the same positions as before.

When used in a webinar, the host and panelists will be placed together onto the virtual background, while attendees view the scene.
