By default, the participant who is speaking appears in the main viewing area of the screen. When a stream is started, it automatically locks to the main viewing area.

To return to the default (toggling among whoever is speaking), click the thumbnail again to unlock it from the main viewing area.
Hide the thumbnail bar by clicking the Layout button in the bottom toolbar and selecting Hide thumbnails. This helps with system processing, especially if there are many participants in the room. This also gives your screen more real estate.
