Can we mute participants and not see their video?

 

FYI this is when we are participants, not host.

    Unfortunately not from the perspective of a participant. A host could turn on what's called Focus Mode and that would allow them to see all participants but the participants would not be able to see each other.

    Hello!

     

    As a participant you do not have control of other participants video. You can however, change your view to Active Speaker which would then only show you the person currently speaking.

      Yeah I assumed this is an issue with being a participant. That is not a solution however.

      How about an ability to NOT see participants video feed. Is that a possibility?
