I want to focus camera on a user, do not switch main screen while user is talking. Do you know any suggestion for that?

Hi @vankhanh_nguyen the UI Toolkit has two layouts: by default in the active speaker layout you see yourself and the person who is talking. The main view is switched when someone new starts talking. You also have the option of the grid view where you can see all participants at the same time.

Thanks for replying, but what I mean is how to stop switching the main view when someone starts talking. I just want to focus on a specified person

Hi @vankhanh_nguyen can you use the grid layout for your use-case? The default layout has the main view taken up by the active speaker, you can create a post in #Feature Requests for adding the ability “pin” a user.
