All user thumbnails not showing on YouTube Live Streaming

Hi,

 

Usually when I share a screen, all user thumbnails appear on the side (when recording to computer), but when I am on YouTube Live streaming, only the thumbnail of the person speaking shows.

How can I make all user thumbnails show on YouTube live?

Hi @Kevin70,

When live streaming to YouTube, Zoom uses the active speaker view by default, which only shows the person currently speaking. The gallery view (with all thumbnails) is not automatically sent to the live stream.

To show all participants:

Start your meeting/webinar.

Set your Zoom window to Gallery View.

Use Custom Live Streaming Service (not the direct YouTube option) and select “Follow host’s view” in settings — this preserves the gallery layout.

Alternatively, you can record locally in gallery view and upload that version later to YouTube.
