Change gallery/speaker view

Change gallery/speaker view in Zoom — with the four heights of help laid out: do it now, make it easier for the next person to accept, work out the right move when you are stuck, and learn the pattern so it stops coming back.

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Switch the call to gallery view for everyone so the hiring panel can see all seven candidates at once. If everyone is already in gallery, make sure the host sees the full grid and that the shared screen remains pinned to the side. Confirm the layout change is applied before the 10:00 AM evaluation begins.

Before changing gallery or speaker view, make the choice clear for the host: display how many participant tiles will show, whether the layout change is global or local, and what happens to active speaker highlighting and shared screens. Flag whether changing view will affect recordings or live streams, and offer a one-click restore to the previous layout if panelists prefer the other view.

We need to decide whether to switch views before starting group evaluations.

We have seven panelists and the candidate sharing slides in two minutes. Some panelists want gallery to see faces; others need speaker view to track the slides. I'm uncertain which layout will make scoring fair and keep attention. Is it better to set gallery for everyone so nonverbal cues are visible, or keep speaker view for focus on the slides?

Panelists repeatedly argue about which view to use and lose time switching mid-meeting.

Across our recurring candidate evaluations we waste minutes toggling between gallery and speaker view, which breaks rapport and delays scoring. Which single default layout or meeting rule would reduce these arguments and keep the session efficient—forcing gallery for all, reserving speaker view only during shares, or assigning one moderator to control views—and which one is most practical to enforce?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
