Configuring the desktop during a meeting

Hello ​@johne53,
 

In the regular Zoom desktop app on Windows, you can switch between Speaker view and Gallery view, and you can resize the Zoom meeting window—but you can’t manually “flip” the layout to force the large active speaker video to stay on top with the smaller participant thumbnails below it.

What you can do instead:

• Switch views: Click View (top-right of the meeting window) → choose Speaker or Gallery.
• Pop out the active speaker (separate window): If available on your client, go to View → Speaker and use the option to pop out the active speaker (this gives you a separate large window you can place wherever you want on your screen).
• Use multi-monitor mode (if you have two screens): In the Zoom desktop client settings, enable Use dual monitors, then you can keep Gallery on one screen and Speaker on the other.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Thanks for the quick reply ​@MGSR. I’ll give that a try at my next meeting. Just experimenting here on my own I can find how to switch between View->Speaker and View->Gallery but whereabouts will I be able to find the pop out option?
