All users in the session have the ability to close the presentation window and enlarge the webcams being shared.

Currently, when webcams are shared in a session, a user can minimize the presentation area and have the shared webcams take over the presentation area (which is good for creating a video chat-type session). If no webcams are being shared in the meeting you cannot close the presentation window.

Once closed, the webcam streams will take up the full screen of the BigBlueButton interface.

There is no limit on the number of webcams that can be shared, but there is a practical limit in terms of bandwidth. At a higher number of webcams you may see some webcams stop updating. A user can disable all incoming webcam streams by selecting the Settings menu. Screen_Shot_2022-08-31_at_10.04.28_AM.png Next, choose “Data savings” and turn off “Enable other participants webcams”.
