How does hiding video participants work in Zoom Rooms

Hiding non-video participants

Video panels for the following participants have been automatically hidden by the system:

1. A user without video or a user whose video is disabled will not be able to see video.
2. Telephone users may dial into a meeting by dialing into the conference line.
3. It is possible for users to share via share.zoom.us when they are using the service.

The top right corner of the primary monitor will display a popup notification when the user is in gallery view identifying them by their caller ID (i.e. 123-123-1234 is talking, etc)

For phone dial-in attendees, a phone icon will appear when the active speaker view is in active speaker mode.
