Meeting SDK Android
1

Description
How do we disable the side-by-side view thats available when the user swipes to the left? This view displays both the hosts video and the user’s video.

Which version?
zoom-sdk-android-4.4.55130.0712

To Reproduce(If applicable)
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Start a zoom call.
  2. Once connected, swipe to the left to access side-by-side view.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

  • Device: Acer A30/A40 Tablets
  • OS: Android
  • Version 23+

Additional context
When the meeting is launched I can see 2 dots at the bottom of the VideoView in what looks like and behaves like a ViewPager.

Turns out the term I was using was incorrect. It’s called “GalleryView” internally.

To disable it:

private void setupZoomMeetingSettings() {
    MeetingSettingsHelper helper = ZoomSDK.getInstance().getMeetingSettingsHelper();
    helper.setGalleryVideoViewDisabled(true); // disable side-by-side/gallery view
    helper.enableForceAutoStartMyVideoWhenJoinMeeting(true); // force video on
}

Hi moe.hamoud.cdx,

Thanks for using Zoom SDK and glad to hear that the problem was resolved. Yes, in order to disable the gallery view, you can call https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-android/us/zoom/sdk/MeetingSettingsHelper.html#setGalleryVideoViewDisabled-boolean- to disable it(Which is the one you are using).

Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
