**Description**  
I’ve been looking through the documentation for the web meeting components SDK and I’m unable to find any way to change the view type. From the overview it appears I should have access to gallery, speaker, etc… Could you explain how I can change the view type?

**Which Web Meeting SDK version?**  
zoom-meeting-embedded-2.0.1

**Device:**

- Device: Macbook Pro
- OS: macOS 11.4
- Browser: Chrome
- Browser Version 95

Hey @nickn,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. What browser are you using when you see this?

You should see that when using the latest Chrome browser Gallery View is available.

Thanks,  
Max

@MaxM Chrome version 95. Is there a way to set the view type in code using the SDK?

Greetings, @nickn,

Currently, it is my understanding that the Component view provides the option to display draggable components on a web page. But it does not provide a function to change/default the view that a user has. Here is a [list of features](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web/component-view#supported-features) that are currently supported. That aside, if you are looking to customize the view, then the [Video SDK](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/video/introduction) would be the best option.

Let me know if that helps.

Best,  
Donte
