HTML 5 Video Pod

I've noticed the video pod in the browser view has started to behave differently since Monday.

The pod used to behave the same way in both the app and browser view. It doesn't seem to anymore by default.

For example, if we have 3 cameras live for a panel session each camera is displayed in horizontal row and all playing simultaneously. On the browser view, only one camera plays while the other 2 are paused. This wasn't the case when I started using Connect 3 weeks ago.

Is this a forced change or is there an option to change this back?

Re: HTML 5 Video Pod

This is a change made only in the HTML client accessed in a browser. Anyone using the application - whether in classic or standard view - will see all camera feeds.

The reason the change was made was to limit the impact of webcam video, so that we can prioritize the audio stream. It also results in limiting the resolution.

We are looking at changing this in an upcoming release. It's important that the host knows exactly what all participants are seeing during a session.
