These instructions are only for organizations and users with Meet hardware. For help with Google Meet on the web, Android, and iOS, go to the Google Meet Help Center .
You can change the layout of a meeting on a Google Meet hardware device. For example, if a lot of people are sharing ideas, you might want to see as many participants as possible. Or, if someone is giving a presentation, you might want to see only the speaker and the slides.
View options
- Auto (dynamic)—Allow Meet to choose the meeting layout for you. This option displays other users in portrait tiles.
