What Happens to a Speaker’s Tile When Their Camera Is Off in Zoom Events Production Studio?

[inclu-edu]

I am trying to confirm the exact behavior of Zoom Events Production Studio regarding speaker video tiles.

If a speaker is assigned to a tile in a Production Studio scene but their camera is turned off, what appears in the live view?

• Does the tile remain visible (for example, showing a placeholder, profile picture, or name)?
• Does it remain as an empty/blank tile?
• Or does the tile disappear entirely from the live output?

My goal is for a speaker’s tile to disappear automatically when that speaker is not on camera. I have reviewed the Production Studio support documentation, but this behavior is not described.

If anyone has confirmed information from Zoom or has tested this behavior in a live Zoom Events environment, I would greatly appreciate your input.

Production Studio to the rescue!!  Yes, if you have a Production Studio scene with multiple cameras, and one camera goes off, the software takes the scene and reduces the “box count” by one. So if you have a 4-up scene, it’ll automatically adjust to a 3-up scene.

I don’t specifically recall what happens if you have just a single camera on screen, but I think it stays with the 1-up scene and shows the speaker’s name box.
