    KellyMJ, Helen_M We do hear the need for customers to have the ability to keep webcams on top, we will be sure to update the Community as soon as we get an update on the feature.

Hi KellyMJ  welcome to the Community. 

 

We have received similar feedback around the chat box feature recently.  When using the Pop Out (Flexible layout) only the toolbar remains on top and you need to click the icon to keep a feature open if you are sharing something.  A couple of options: If you have a second monitor you can keep the cameras open on the second screen or if you only have one screen you can just share just an application window and resize it so it doesn't fill the whole window. 

 

We see that the need to 'pin on top' various windows and have shared this feedback with the team.  We will keep the Community aware of updates to this feature.

    Hi KateG,

     

    any news on this issue?

    Basically all our speakers of our daily hybrid seminars would like to have the cameras of online participants always on top on the screen so the in situ participants can also see the online participants - as it was with older versions of G2M, same applies to the Chat window.

    I assume that we are not the only ones missing this feature badly.
