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.

This layout is independent of the recording layout. For instructions on how to set your recording layout, see Webex Recording Options. 

  1. Start the Meeting or click on the Join link.

    1. Once the Meeting has begun, you will need to wait for Participants to join before you will see the Layout button.

  2. Move the cursor to the top-right of the video portion of the screen. If you have the Participants Panel open, the Layout button will be directly to the left of Participants.

    1. Viewing Options

      • Grid view shows all your participants in a grid. It is also known as Hollywood squares or the Brady Bunch view.

      • Stack view places the active speaker in a large window below the last 5 participants who have spoken.

      • Side by side places the active speaker and content in a large window to the left of the last 5 participants who have spoken.

      • Fullscreen view will place your own video stream in a floating window and you can then select your desired view layout.
