I have an Accessibility question -- is there a setting that would keep all participant boxes in a static location on screen, rather than having the participant move to the upper left each time a hand is raised, in Gallery view?
For some people with visual processing issues, it's extremely difficult and jarring when everything shifts on screen, every time a person raises their hand. Of course, it's not only a single box moving to upper left, but every other person shifting location as well.
In a smaller group, say 10 on screen, it's especially jarring and breaks the flow of a small group conversation. And at the same time, it isn't really needed - we can still easily see the person speaking.
From what I understand, even people without visual processing issues might prefer to keep everyone in one spot in smaller meetings.
We do want to keep Gallery view, as it helps to maintain a sense of the group as a whole.
And I know about 'click and drag' to put the boxes into whatever order you prefer, but still, each time a hand is raised, everything moves.
The host prefers to keep using the hand raise emoji, vs have people just raise their 'real' hand on screen, since it's not always as easy to catch that.
Any suggestions would be so appreciated!
