speaker view

Active talker highlighted

Speaker view is a video conferencing display mode that automatically shows whoever is currently talking as the main, enlarged image on screen.

The view switches between participants as different people speak, contrasting with gallery view, which shows all participants in equal-sized tiles simultaneously: I switched to speaker view so I could focus on the presenter.
