Enable layout switching for an event
By default, events with slides or other content tabs show the video player and content side-by-side; audio events show headshots next to content. Layout switching lets you focus on different content - presenters only, video, slides, etc. - by changing the event window layout during the event. You can also set the player layout that is displayed when the event starts. The audience sees this pre-live layout while they wait for the event to begin, and it still is set when the event starts.
You can enable layout switching for Live, On-Demand, and Simulated Live events.
