How to change video layout displayed on H.323 / SIP devices during a video conference?

TrueConf users can set a video layout for all participants, for SIP/H.323 and WebRTC users, and for individual participants as well. For this purpose, you can use the Conference Manager available in the TrueConf client application and in a personal area.

However, moderators who take part in a conference via WebRTC application also can set a video layout for other SIP/H.323 and WebRTC users.  The video layout is preserved in video conference recording.

This article will explain how to change the video layout during TrueConf video conferences via WebRTC . We will also show how the default video layout looks like on the older generation Cisco endpoint.
