This How.com.vn teaches you how to switch to gallery view in your Zoom meeting. As long as there are three or more participants in your meeting (or just two on an iPad), you can change the view so that you see a grid of many participants at the same time. You can toggle between the standard view (called active speaker view) and gallery view at any time during the meeting.

  • If you're using a computer, click "View > Gallery."
  • If you're using an Android or iPhone, swipe left on your screen to see Gallery View.
  • If you're using an iPad, tap the screen during a meeting and select "Switch to Gallery View."
