video box not showing when screen is off

I host meetings each week. In the last week, I have noticed that if someone has their screen off, there is no longer a black tile with their name showing. I can only tell if someone has joined my meeting when I look at the bottom toggle bar.

 

Is there a way to ensure that the boxes for participants are visible to myself as the presenter EVEN if they have their screen off?
Thank you

Hi, @erinshah.

 

Sounds to me like you have disabled the “Show/hide participants who have their video turned off”.  See the section in this Zoom Support document for guidance:

Ray -- check out the GoodClix website.

Thank you! I just found that option this week. Appreciate the reply
