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 before the event starts.
You can control layout switching for Live, On-Demand, and Simulated Live events.
