Yellow border - more than one speaker

Hi, 

 

If there is a yellow border around a speaker, say you have joined late (unmuted) to the meeting and they are already speaking, would they be able to hear you? Or does it cancel out your voice?

 

Can more than one person have this active speaker (yellow border) at one time? - So allow for multiple people to be speaking at once? 

 

Thanks, 

Kim

As an audio and broadcast engineer I can tell you that computer audio can be very complicated. The border is to indicate active speaker and in speaker mode it will switch the video to the active speaker but it does not stop both voices from being heard since the audio is full duplex. Video switching can be controlled using spotlighting. Generally 2 people speaking at the same time would be considered rude in most meetings.
