Change your self-view video preference
During a Webex meeting, webinar, or event, your self-view video shows with the thumbnail videos of the other participants. If you prefer, you can show your self-view video in a floating window or hide it.
Showing your self-view video with the other thumbnail videos lets you see the same view of yourself that others see.
Show your self-view video with the other participants or in a floating window that you can drag to another location or minimize, if it's taking up too much space on your screen. Hide your self-view if you prefer not to look at yourself, even if you like being on video.

Check Show only when my video is on to show your self view only when you turn on your video. This saves screen space when you turn off your video. If you don't check this option and you turn off your video, your self view shows your profile picture or your display name.

When you show your self-view video in a floating window, you can minimize the window to make more room on your screen. The other participants in the meeting, webinar, or event still see you unless you turn off your video.
