Can we turn off video thumbnails in Webex Meeting?

klmonline — Mon, 18 Mar 2019 02:43:04 GMT

We have a Webex Meeting with video disabled for all. But the in-meeting GUI still includes the video thumbnail strip with just the initials for each person. It's a non-useful waste of space. Even if I change the display view on my computer (as presenter or host) to the side-by-side display and collapse the video panel, it doesn't change the layout for other attendees. Is there any way to just suppress the video panels entirely when video is disabled? If not, I would like to suggest this as a future product enhancement.

This also raises concerns when choosing to hide the participant list, disabling chat, etc.

Hi,

As a host, it is not possible to disable video thumbnails for attendees. You can post your suggestions at below URL:

I had submitted the following idea request, which should go inline with what you need.

We are facing the same challenge. Disabling attendees to see the participant list still leaves the thumbnail bar on which does not allow to hide attendees where inevitably needed.
