Hi - I'm trying to set up a screen layout in Zoom that I thought would be straightforward. When I use Desktop or Portion of Screen mode, my main camera feed gets reduced to a thumbnail. During an art demonstration, I need it to stay large so I can place reference materials next to it, but still share my participant's camera feed as the bigger window. I'm having trouble finding a solution in Zoom's help center. Can this be resolved? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
Last time I used Zoom was about last year. You're trying to manage two cameras on your end—one capturing the art you're working on and the other holding the reference material in the same room as your audience? I believe what you're seeking is the Spotlight feature while using Gallery View in the app. If you have multiple cameras to coordinate, this guide should help.
Hope this assists!

Hi there,
Thank you for your quick response. The material comes from one camera and includes an image in an app, which I'm attempting to share. I believe your approach could still be effective—feel free to give it a shot when you have the chance to review the setup again, and I'll post the outcome here.
