side by side

[CN3]

Does Zoom rooms support side by side mode? When our room is in a zoom rooms call as the host and we have an attendee presenting remotely (with presentation), is the side by side mode option available? I cant seem to find it. Thanks any help that can be provided. Maybe I am doing something wrong - or maybe it is not possible? We are using a screen with Zoom rooms built in. Thank you

@CN3 - There is no native side-by-side for single monitor Zoom Rooms.  If there is only 1 participant, you can use a gallery view and hide self-view to get just the other participant and the presentation, but otherwise you either have the floating speaker or the full gallery.

Thanks @colegs  -is there any option available that the person from the far end can be seen larger than they are now - the size of an icon or stamp? Is there something they can do on their end? We have dual screens, but have the same content displayed on both screens mainly because we have a pillar in the middle of the classroom. So, one screen for one side and the other screen for the other. Looking for suggestions.

Thank you @colegs - other than having dual screens, is there anything else we can do so that the person coming in remotely can show up bigger than they presently are? Is there something they can do from their end? Self- view is already - have to try gallery view and see if that helps.

@CN3 - You can increase the size of the thumbnail showing the speaker and/or swap the display so the speaker is the main screen and the shared screen is in the thumbnail.
