Layout

options_update

The options_update event is triggered when one or more meeting configuration options have been updated. This event provides the current state of all meeting options, including any layout-related changes that have been applied.

{
  type: 'options_update',
  options: {
    ...
    layout: 'auto' | 'custom',
    layout_name: null | String,
    layout_users: null | Array,
    layout_map: null | Array,
    show_names: true | false,
    voice_activation: true | false,
    ...
  },
}

set_layout

The set_layout method allows you to configure the visual arrangement of participants in a meeting. You can either:

• Select from our collection of predefined layouts for common meeting scenarios
• Create a custom layout by defining your own positioning map

This gives you complete control over how participants are displayed during your video meetings.

eyeson.send({
  type: 'set_layout',
  params: {
    layout: 'auto' | 'custom',
    name: '',
    users: [...], // list of userIds
    map: JSON.stringify([...]), // optional
    show_names: true | false,  // optional, default: true
    voice_activation: true | false, // optional, only if layout = auto
  },
});
