How can I swap the gallery to the left side?

My webcam is pointed in a way that I can't look at the gallery and the webcam in the same direction, so it always looks I'm not looking at the camera when I'm looking at the Gallery on the Right Side of the Zoom Window.  Can Zoom add an option to put the Gallery on the Left Side of the Zoom Window?

        Hello, I would also like to have this option of having the gallery on the LEFT side of the screen. I cannot submit feedback because my organization has blocked it. Would you please enter this request? This was requested in 2021. It's incredible that this has not been addressed yet.

          Agree! I have this exact same issue. Would love to move the gallery to left side in side by side mode.

            How is it 2025 and we still don't have the option to move the gallery to the left side of the screen? Having to *always* use full screen, put the participants' video in gallery view and manually moving them to the left side is frustrating and requires me to constantly adjust the window so I can view the full screen. 
            Between this and not being able to collaboratively share screens (at least 2 people sharing at a time) is absolutely bonkers to me and why I never recommend my coworkers use it over Slack or Discord. Slack is better for collaboration. Discord is better for multiple speakers. Zoom makes multiple speakers to sound like jibberish, take notes from Discord on this please. It's great for multiple people collaborating (multiple screen shares, clearer multi-speakers). 

            Zoom, please fix these issues so I can stop whining to be company about the shortfalls mentioned earlier.
