| Capability Summary | In a WPS meeting, the Layout button lets you switch between Content and Video, Video Only, and Content Only to adjust the viewing focus during the meeting. | Microsoft Teams lets users adjust how shared content and participant video appear, including keeping shared content in the center and changing gallery placement. | Google Meet offers layout options such as Auto, Tiled, Spotlight, and Sidebar, and it can enlarge shared content while keeping participant tiles visible. | Notion mainly provides AI Meeting Notes for transcription and meeting summaries, and its official help page does not describe native meeting layout switching. | Adobe Connect supports creating, managing, customizing, and switching layouts during a session for different meeting stages. |
