Answer

Fuze has updated its meetings interface to make viewing screen share more immersive. Users on Fuze Desktop and Fuze Web version 6.14 and up will experience new video layout options and behaviors. The shared content displayed will take up more screen space for easier viewing, and users will have more options to personalize their viewing experience.

To take advantage of this new functionality, ensure you are running the latest version of Fuze Desktop. Refer to Updating Fuze Desktop to confirm your version number.
