# Bandwidth-Optimized View

The [[jitsi-meet]] service employs a **Bandwidth-Optimized View** by default to reduce the data load on the participant's network.

## Default Behavior
In the tile view, the system only displays the **last two active speakers**. Other participants remain hidden unless they become active speakers or are manually expanded by the user.

## Client-Side Override
Users who wish to see all participants regardless of their speaking status can override this setting using a specific configuration string in the URL or room name:

`#config.channelLastN=-1`

### Examples
- **Browser**: `meetings.uni-greifswald.de/RoomName#config.channelLastN=-1`
- **App**: `RoomName#config.channelLastN=-1`

The value `-1` instructs the client to display all active participants.
