Options

Example: &activespeaker=1

Value	Description
1 | (no value given)	will only show one speaker at a time; the loudest or last-loud speaker
2	will show whoever is talking; mixed together; if no one is talking, just shows yourself
3	the same as 1, but it will not switch to show audio-only sources (just video only)
4	the same as 2, but it will not switch to show audio-only sources (just video only)

In all four cases, if someone else is talking/active, your local preview will become a mini-preview in the top right.

Customize the delay on switching

By default, the active speaker switches fairly quickly, typically within a few hundred milliseconds of a louder speaker taking over. You can add a fixed added delay, which works with modes 1 and 3, which will delay how long it takes before a switch between speakers is made

&activespeakerdelay=2000, where 2000 is a value in milliseconds.

This will not impact modes 2 or 4

If looking to add a green box around active speakers, or make it just easier to see who is talking, please considering using &meterstyle instead.
