Admins can control the use of presenter layouts in their meetings and webinars, which combines your video and shared screen to present everything in one frame to create a more engaging sharing session. Presenters have a few different layout options, ranging from having the content appear over-the-shoulder of your video, the presenter appearing in front of the content, or the presenter and the content appearing side-by-side. These options are available in the sharing window where users can select what they want to share, the layout of their video and the shared content, and a common virtual background for both you and the content.
