Change the video layout of a connected device in Webex
You can modify the way in which video content displays on a linked cloud-registered device during a call or meeting directly from the Webex App or Webex Meetings. You have the option of concentrating on the video of the other participants, the person who is speaking, or the content that has been presented. The sort of device that you are connected to determines the different possibilities for the app’s layout that you have available to select from. Even the content that has been shared can be transferred from your device to your app. This way, the content that has been shared with you on your app will fill the entire screen, and you will still be able to watch the videos that others have posted on your device.
Desktop
Make sure that you are already on a call or in a meeting, and that you are connected to a device either through the Webex App or through the Meetings app on your mobile.
