# Active Speaker

### Live example

**[See it in action here ➡️](https://custom-active-speaker.vercel.app)**

## What does this demo do?

- Uses an active speaker view mode that shows the currently talking participant (or active screen share) in a larger tile
- Introduces the `ParticipantBar` column that virtually scrolls through all call participants
- Uses manual subscriptions to paginate between tiles that are currently in view. For more information about how this works, please refer to the [pagination demo](../pagination)

Please note: this demo is not currently mobile optimised
