Open Grid MakerThe Intelligent Video Grid Layout Maker
When recording a meeting or panel discussion with multiple people, the last thing you want is a messy, disorganized video file where participants overlap or are framed irregularly. Doing this manually in post-production requires painstakingly aligning multiple video tracks. The TALKLINK.LIVE Video Grid Layout Maker solves this algorithmically. By utilizing the HTML5 Canvas, our layout engine automatically calculates the math required to display between 1 and 10 participants in a clean, perfectly symmetrical grid.
The system is fully responsive to the number of participants. If you have four people, it creates a clean 2x2 grid. If a fifth person joins, it dynamically shifts to accommodate them while preserving the overarching aspect ratio (16:9, 9:16, etc.) you've selected. Best of all, because this grid is drawn to a local canvas and recorded using the MediaRecorder API, your final downloaded video has the grid baked in precisely as you saw it live.
