Hey there,
I would love to hear if it is possible to do a side-by-side mode when there is a meeting in gallery mode.
I find myself listening a lot to lectures that need the option of a lecturer / two lecturers on one side of the screen, while on the other side of the screen there will be a regular gallery.
Thanks!

Hi @HaruviRotem thank you for your post here on the Zoom Community! We have a feature called "multi pin" which lets the host pin up to nine people's video so their local view will see those nine (or up to nine) people instead of the speaker view. The host can also allow participants to multi pin on their side:

However, we don't have the feature you are describing where you can on one side of your screen pin two people, then on the other side of a split screen have an active Gallery View.
Do you have two monitors? If so you could play with pinning two speakers on one monitor and other speakers on the other monitor. This would require the "Dual Monitor" setting to be enabled in your Zoom client

If this still isn't hitting the mark, we'd love to hear about your idea as a feature request. Currently, our product team reviews all feature requests submitted via our feedback form https://zoom.us/feed. I highly encourage you to submit this feature!
