gallery view

Everyone visible simultaneously

Gallery view is a video conferencing display mode that shows multiple participants simultaneously in a grid of equally-sized video frames, rather than focusing on whoever is speaking.

The term became ubiquitous during the COVID-19 pandemic: I switched to gallery view so I could see everyone at once.

Contrast with speaker view, which highlights the active speaker.
