Does this sound familiar? You create a Zoom meeting or join a Zoom meeting and all you see is a list of names. Depending on which speaker is currently active, the video image might jump back and forth between speakers. Wouldn’t it be nice to see all participants at a glance or decide for yourself how Zoom displays the participants of the video conference? Easily done!
There are various layout settings for this. For example, you can pin a video to avoid jumping between active speakers, or you can hide videos without video transmission. It’s possible to minimize or maximize the video chat. To see all participants, you need to use the Zoom gallery view. It allows you to see up to 49 participants at the same time and to scroll to all other Zoom participants by arrow or swipe. Depending on the Zoom version, up to 1,000 participants can attend a meeting!
Long video conferences with lots of people can be exhausting. There is even a term for this kind of exhaustion: Zoom fatigue.
