Change the layout of meeting participants

These instructions are for Enterprise Meet hardware accounts only. For help with Meet on Web, Android, and iOS, go to the Google Meet Help Center.

You can change the layout of a meeting on your screen. For example, if a lot of people are sharing ideas, you might want to see as many participants as possible. The layout options you have depend on what's happening in your meeting.
