Unable to View myself and the second speaker in a side by side mode

Hi Team, 

I am looking for some support around an issue that I am facing -  recently I downloaded the latest version of zoom on my MAC laptop and from thereon I am seeing a strange behavior, let me explain the scenario step by step :- 

 

Step 1 : I am in a group meeting and the zoom host put a spotlight on me. 

Step 2: The host then put a spotlight on one more person. Lets say Person 2. 

Step 3: Now I am in the speaker view on my zoom and I see myself and Person 2 in spotlight and it appears "vertical" in my laptop, I see myself at the top and Person 2 is at the bottom. 

Step 4 : However, previously under this same situation (as mentioned from Step 1-3), I was able to see myself and Person2 in a side by side view when spotlighted.

 

I want the old view back where I can see myself and the Person2 in a side by side view. What is the setting I am missing? How can I go back to my old view since it's imp for my meetings.

@Dheenathayalans The tiles of the speakers when spotlighting is turned on is auto arranged depending on the ratio of the images of the speakers vs. the ratio of the window.
When you resize your Zoom window to be wider (in relation to its height), the images should be rearranged side-by-side.

Hello @Dheenathayalans ,
did you have a chance to test that? Did it work?
