Frequently Asked Questions

What is Active Speaker view on Zoom?

A picture-within-a-picture Active Speaker View shows a large image of the speaker currently speaking, and a smaller thumbnail of the speaker that spoke before him, thus providing a picture-within-a-picture of the current speaker. In the process of screen sharing, the screen that is being shared in the large display will be shown in thumbnail form and it will be obvious who is sharing the screen.

How do you show active speakers in Zoom recording?

Are you visible in a zoom webinar?

The attendees of a Webinar cannot see or hear the presenters when attending one. When you attend a Webinar, you should be able to see and hear both the presenters and the participants. If you are the only attendee and it is your turn to speak, the other attendees will not be able to hear you or see you.
