</aside>While talking to others in Gather, there are two video views you can toggle between to optimize your experience:
Similar to a traditional video call, Meeting View focuses entirely on the people you’re talking to. Best for meetings and formal conversations.
Office View lets you talk to others while the activity of your office is still visible. Best for quick conversations or casually coworking with others.
To switch between Meeting View and Office View: use the arrows in the upper right corner of the screen.
Multiple people can share screens at the same time so you can easily jump between them. Click on a screen to enlarge it, and use the + and - buttons on the right to zoom in and out.
