I would like to implement a button that switches between the spotlight view and the participants grid view (instead of swiping left and right)

Is there a method I can call in MeetingActivity that does this switch?

Hi Meir,

please take a look at MeetingSettingHelper class, there are some API calls you can utilize:

1.&nbsp;setSwitchVideoLayoutAccordingToUserCountEnabled(boolean enabled)

&nbsp; &nbsp; Enable/disable to automatically to switch video layout mode between active video and gallery view based on count of users.

2.&nbsp;setSwitchVideoLayoutUserCountThreshold(int value)

&nbsp; &nbsp; Set the user count threshold value used to automatically switch video layout.

Will this work while the user has already joined&nbsp; the meeting or is it something that can be defined only before you join?
