A tile is the video panel that represents each participant in the room. Every person in an active session has their own tile in the room view.
Each tile typically displays the participant's name, title, and current audio status. The tile arrangement — how many tiles are visible, their size, and spacing — is controlled through the Appearance tab by the host.
ℹ️Tile settings: The host can adjust tile spacing and aspect ratio for all participants from the Appearance tab. These settings apply room-wide and are not visible to individual participants to change unless the host enables "Allow Participants to Control Their Own Layout."
The Tile Menu
Each tile has a Tile Menu that gives you quick access to actions for that participant. How you open it and what options you see depends on your role.
Opening the Tile Menu
Hover over any participant's tile to reveal the Tile Menu, located in the bottom right corner of the tile.
Available options by role
All participants can access Fullscreen and Private Chat from any tile. Mirror Video is only available on your own tile. Remove, Make Co-Host, and Make Participant are only available to hosts and co-hosts.
