The Layout button in the top, right corner of a live meeting offers different views and settings available during live meetings. 

There are three different views inside of Webex Meetings:

• Grid view
  • View up to 25 participants at a time
• Stack view
  • Current speaker is the focus and other participants are at the bottom
• Side by Side view
  • Current speaker is the focus and other participants are on the right

The Stack and Side by Side views have customizable views and other options available to choose from.

If you are sharing content that includes motion and video, select the Optimize for motion and video option. If you are asked to install an upgraded audio driver, follow the prompts after entering your computer password.

All participants have the ability to share their screen by being a presenter. To share content…

1. Click on the Share button in the center of the meeting's lower toolbar.
2. Select the desired screen you would like other participants to see.
3. Click on the smaller Share button near the bottom, right side of the screen.

Hosts have the ability to stop a participant from sharing by right-clicking on the participant and changing their role.

While sharing your screen, there are multiple tools available. To reveal the collapsed toolbar, click on the orange You're sharing your screen. button at the top of the screen. The options include:

• Stop Sharing: remove your screen's view from the meeting
• Pause: freeze the displayed content
• Share: adjust what content you are sharing
• Assign: grant someone else the ability to share their screen
• Mute/Unmute: turn your microphone on or off
• Video: turn your camera on or off
• Participants: view and manage participants
• Chat: send messages to participants
• Annotate: draw or write over the displayed content

The floating panel on your screen displays the attendees. You can drag the panel to a second screen or resize it by dragging the corner to view more participants. Meeting participants will not see your grid, only what you are sharing on your screen.

At any point during the meeting, the toolbar at the bottom of the screen offers multiple buttons to help perform a variety of functions.
