Coresee uses two layout contexts depending on what’s happening in the room. The layouts available to you change based on which context is active.

Main Layout

The main layout is active when only participant video tiles are visible — no whiteboard, screen share, or media is being presented. This is the default state of the room.

Presentation Layout

The presentation layout is active whenever any presentation is up — a whiteboard, a screen share, media from the Files tab, or any combination of these. The layouts in this context are designed to balance the presentation content with participant tiles.

Allow Participants to Control their Own Layout

By default, only the host and co-host can change the room layout. Toggle on Allow Participants to Control Their Own Layout to give participants access to layout controls. This setting only applies to the main layout. Each participant’s choice only affects what they see on their own screen — it doesn’t change the view for anyone else. When the setting is off, participants see a greyed-out Appearance tab.
Host layout changes affect everyone. Participant layout changes affect only themselves. When the host changes the layout, it updates the view for all participants in the room. When a participant changes it themselves (if allowed), it is local to their screen only — and only applies to the main layout.
