During a meeting, you can switch between different video layouts to focus on the video of other participants, on the person speaking, or on the shared content.
You can switch between the following layouts, depending on the number of participants in a meeting:
Grid layout allows you to see the video of up to 81 meeting participants on each page. This feature is supported only on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
By default, the grid layout allows you to see the video of up to 25 meeting participants in a 5x5 grid. If the meeting has more than 25 participants, the additional participants show in the grid when they speak in the meeting. When you increase or decrease the number of participants to show, you set the maximum number that can appear.
Click Increase or decrease video size and use the slider to adjust the number of participants that show in the grid.
 | You don't need to be in a meeting to adjust the maximum number of participants to show in grid layout. You can do it anytime and the change applies to all your future meetings in Webex App. Go to your profile picture, select Meetings > Layout. Choose your option, then click Save. |
Adjust the number of participants in grid layout to see more or fewer participants.
Stack layout shows whoever is speaking in the primary video below the video thumbnails of other participants.

When someone is sharing content, Full-screen view increases the size of the shared content so you can see it more clearly.
Stage view is available with Stack and Side by side layouts.
The stage is a customizable area that allows you to focus on the content in a meeting that matters to you. By default, the stage shows the active speaker or shared content. Up to six other participants appear outside the stage, in the filmstrip.
