Meetings: Managing your Layout

Layout Manager

Are there different layouts available, so I can make one part of my Meeting session larger than the others? Yes.

• In the lower right corner of a Meeting, you can click on a dropdown box (usually it says Default Layout) to change your session layout.
  • For Lecture Emphasis: Select Default Layout, Presentation Meeting, Presentation + Users, and Lecture
  • For Webcam Emphasis: Select Video Chat and Webcam Meeting
    • You can click on the Default Layout to return to the original view.
  • Select the Shared Notes layout to display a notes module on the left, below the Users module.
    • You and your students can record notes, format notes, and download notes. Instructors can create up to three notes files.
  • If you have a transcriber, they can be given moderator status, and in Layout Manager, they can pick Closed Caption, pick the language and type in whatever the presenter says.
    • In the Layout Manager, students can choose Closed Caption to see the text typed by the transcriber
  • At the start of the session, students' layouts match the instructors, but the student can change their layout, too.
• Can I permanently lock the layout for my students? It depends
  • If you click on the lock beside the layout dropdown box, your student's layout will be changed to match yours
    • Students can still choose a different layout, unless the layout is "Locked" using the User Settings icon, which looks like a wheel
