Is there a way to set a default view (speaker or gallery) when joining Zoom Meeting so it doesn't need to be changed on a meeting by meeting basis?
Thank you!

Hi @LeeD_2021
I am not sure if you can set a default - but you can have BOTH at the same time in different windows if you use Zoom in Dual Monitor mode. So you can get the best of both worlds.

Hope this helps.

I have this same problem and it is quite annoying. Cannot seem to lock meeting view to Gallery which is my preferred view. It automatically changes back to Speaker view and am forced to change back again and again. Anyone found a way?

Still experiencing this and hoping something has changed in the last two years.

Others have expressed the default view as a shortcoming. Default view should be made adjustable. Why is this so unimportant to Zoom authors? Seems a bit self-serving that Zoom feels Speaker view is so important. An equally sized portion of the community prefers Gallery view.

!00% agree. Where are the Zoom authors on this?

I agree very much. It’s causing a real problem for me because it used to stay in gallery, and now defaults to speaker view every time there’s a screenshare. I’d really appreciate any help with this. I’ve combed the settings and can’t find how to fix this.
