Flat Mode
A familiar 2D video call interface within Frame
Flat Mode brings a familiar feel of a standard video call into Frame. Seamlessly transition between 3D meetings and Flat Mode depending on your meeting and audience needs. Share multiple screens, webcams, and chat all in one view!
Webcam View & Questions
The Webcam view provides a clear layout of all participants. Additionally, the 'I have a question' feature allows for non-intrusive signaling.
I have a question
This button on the top right corner let's participants quietly signal they have a question, alerting hosts without interrupting the meeting flow.
Settings Wheel Icon
When you click the settings wheel on the right corner, you will get two options to customize your view:
**1. Target number of presenters:** Lets you select how many users to display as main speakers on screen, controlling the presenter view size. Just add the number of presenters you want to see on your screen.
**2. Grid View:** In webcam view settings, you can switch between presenter or grid layout where you can see all the users in a grid by default.
Assets View
The Assets view in Frame Flat Mode is like a moodboard layout showing all your Frame assets in one place. You can organize, move, resize, zoom, and prioritize files like PDFs, images, and videos. You can also share your screen, making it easy to collaborate and review content together during meetings.
