In Webex, users can alter how Participants appear on their screen. The default view is Grid View, colloquially referred to as the Brady Bunch view. The other views are Active Speaker, and Thumbnail View. The Active Speaker view shows only the Participant currently speaking and you can see yourself in the bottom corner. The Thumbnail View gives priority to the Participant currently speaking and shows the last six Participants who spoke as thumbnails above or below the active speaker.

Note

You cannot change your view layout when using "Join with your Browser". Therefore, this guide does not apply to Chromebooks, any other ChromeOS devices, or computers running Linux.
