  • view the list of participants who have joined;

  • see the conference owner, who is marked with /docs/client-ios/media/gui/conf_star_owner/en.png;

# Participant management

Press and hold the row with the participant's name to open the list of available actions:

Similarly, in the conference video layout, press and hold on the video window of the desired participant to access actions for that participant.

# Group actions on participants

Group actions allow for convenient interaction with multiple participants simultaneously. For instance, by clicking /docs/client-ios/media/gui/more/en.png in the Waiting room user group, a menu will open:

/docs/client-ios/media/group_action_waiting_room/en.png

Conference participants will have access to a menu where you can mute everyone's microphone and camera (if you are the moderator) or reject audio and video (for yourself only).

# Switching video layouts

The moderator or the conference creator can set a forced video layout for its participants.

If you are the moderator, you can manage the video layout from your smartphone through real-time meeting management. To do this, during an active conference, go to your personal area, select the desired conference, and click Conference manager. The TrueConf for iOS/iPadOS client application will not take it into account, as it uses its own dynamic layout with multi-screen support.

# Customizing your video layout

You have the option to customize your video layout, for instance, by setting the number of video windows displayed on a single screen in the settings. Additionally, you can pin a specific user on the screen in the smart meeting and everyone on screen modes. Click /docs/client-ios/media/gui/pin_off/en.png to pin a participant to the main screen, after which the user will appear on the main screen, and their window will look like this:
