If recording in the cloud and have at least 3 people with cameras on, I think using Spotlight is the best way to go.

If you're recording locally and have at least 2 video cameras on, you can Pin the other person's video.  Just note you can't change your viewing layout or it'll affect what is seen on the recording.
