Participant names - The display name of the participant of media

[hazeena farook]

I was trying to get the participant names to show up in all tiles irrespective of whether they are speaking or not. I found a setting in the layout menu for doing it manually after i started the meeting  but i was wondering if there is an api to enable that setting for a meeting ?

Kindly check https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/v1/meeting-qualities/get-meeting-qualities in order to get the response with item - displayName (string) - The display name of the participant of the media session.

Let us know if this helps or share the details of the option you found manually to verify respective API.

hi @hazeena farook  , so what we are trying to do is to find a SET api which can help us facilitate this setting that we do manually everytime we start a meeting as it is not a default. Please see the attached image

@deepankar.das there is no API to set the meeting layout automatically in-meeting. This is already in our product backlog, but we do not have an ETA yet. Not sure if it's relevant for you, but you can change layout in custom apps, using the JS SDK. This is described here: https://developer.webex.com/blog/new-webex-sdk-updates-advanced-meeting-demo .
