How to determine what seat someone gets in Together Mode?

[kubalaml]

I was looking into how to make a custom scene for Together Mode and I wanted to include name tags in my scene (it's just for a fun little Halloween thing), but in order to do that, I need to know who is going to sit where. How is it determine who gets what seat? I know I can assign the presenter or meeting organizer a seat, but what about everyone else? Is it determine by the order that they joined the meeting or maybe the order in which they turned on their camera or is it entirely random? Thanks

AFAIK, Today we cannot do that and it's a missing gap inmho

Hello, this is possible when creating a custom together mode scene.

@ChristianJBergstrom it says this "Place the participants' video streams in pre-determined seats designed and fixed by the scene creator.", but the only participant you can assign a seat is the organizer or presenter role. I was thinking of assigning seats based on email or name or something.

Sorry, late reply. Yeah, noticed that the seats are configured for meeting organizer and meeting presenters only when using the scenes editor. Not too bad though.
