Today’s Zoom tip - 25 February 2021
This week, a guide on how to customise your display when using the Zoom desktop client. Views There are three main views available when no one is sharing their screen. These are: Active Speaker view - the person speaking appears in the larger video window and everyone else is in smaller windows in a grid above Gallery view - everyone appears in small video windows in a grid known as a gallery Floating Thumbnail view - you minimise the main Zoom window but can still see small video feeds while you are looking at other windows on your machine. Top Tip: to avoid someone accidentally becoming the active speaker due to background noise, all participants who aren't speaking should be on mute. Customisation options. Here are some ways to customise your gallery of video feeds. Change the video order - You can click and drag video windows around to customise the order and, if you are the host, deploy this custom view to everyone on the call.
