The M ore button (3 dots) has two options:
• Split/Merge Video from PowerPoint/Slides – If your video is currently over your slides and you
select Split Video, your video will become a separate fe ed from your slides. You will be shari ng
your screen as if you were doing a normal screen share. You can still move between the slides
through the meeting controls. Selecting Merge Video after you split your video superimposes
your video feed over your slides again.
• Resize My Video – Clicking this allows you to resize and reposition your video on the sl ide.
When you click this, a blue box will appear around your video. Clicking and dragging one of the
corners of the box or blue l ines will allow you to resize your video. Clicking and dragging your
mouse within the box will allow you to reposition your video somewhere else over your slide.
