**Description**  
Is it possible to use current iOS SDK to switch between gallery view and active speaker for a user who has already joined a meeting?  
Do you have a plan to add it to the SDK anytime soon if it’s currently not supported?

HI [dmiskiew](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/dmiskiew),

Thanks for the post. You could switch between gallery view and active speaker view by swiping the meeting UI to the left.

If you are looking for an interface to do this programmatically. This interface(switch between active speaker view and gallery view) is not available on iOS. I will forward this as a feature request to the engineering team and see if we could add this feature. If you are using Custom in-meeting UI(not customized Zoom default UI), you have the full control of the meeting UI, you should be able to draw your own active speaker view and gallery view, so you may add a control to switch between the views.

Hope this helps. Thanks!

@carson.zoom is there a timeline when you could add this feature to iOS?

Hi @tmiskiew,

Thanks for the follow-up. Unfortunately, I do not have an exact ETA for this at the moment. Will keep you updated.
