Call Layout
SwyMed offers several options for arranging the call layout—that is, the size and position of each participant's video image on your screen.
Click to jump to:
The In-Call Toolbar
If you have multiple monitors, the in-call toolbar will display on Monitor 1 by default; you can change this in Settings.
You can move the in-call toolbar between the top and bottom of the screen by double-clicking the swyMed home icon on the left side of the toolbar.
You can show or hide the in-call toolbar by single-clicking the swyMed home icon on the left side of the toolbar.
Types of Call Layout
Auto placement
SwyMed will automatically fill the screen with your conversation partner(s) with your own image placed unobtrusively as a small window.
Same size videos
SwyMed will calculate the maximum size that allows all images to be seen equally on the screen.
Full screen video
One participant's image will fill the screen.
Active speaker
SwyMed will rearrange the images as needed to give the speaking participant the largest picture size.
Keep desktop visible
All participants' video images, including yours, will be shrunk and placed to one side so you can view and use your device's desktop.
Hide all videos
Remove all participants' video images from view, including yours; this does not end the call.
Selecting Your Call Layout
To choose your call layout:
-
On the in-call toolbar at the top of the screen, click or tap the See button.
-
Click or tap the Manage call layout button.
-
If you have only one monitor, skip to Step 4 below.
If you have multiple monitors, click the button corresponding to the monitor on which you would like to place the video images. To determine which monitor is "Monitor 1", "Monitor 2", etc., click or tap IDENTIFY MONITORS.
-
The currently selected layout is indicated by a light blue background and orange text. Click or tap the button with your desired layout.
- When you are finished, click the Home button to return to the main in-call menu.
