Hi @khairul.azmie, Can you please clarify what you mean by “maintain gallery view”? Is there something in particular you are trying to do within the gallery view UI? Thanks! ---

Hi @khairul.azmie, If I’m understanding correctly, it sounds like you want to programmatically switch to gallery view, right? The method you mentioned in your post would only work in some scenarios, like when you are viewing shared content in a full screen. For switching to gallery view while the regular meeting UI is present, you should use [`switchToVideoWallView`](https://marketplacefront.zoom.us/sdk/meeting/macos/interface_zoom_s_d_k_meeting_u_i_controller.html#aae44329dd3dc0bad2609a974cddddd48) instead. Thanks! ---
