> Has option to tile to equally size screens. Hangouts: Same. Are you describing Google Hangouts or Hangouts Meet by G Suite?

There is no gallery view available for Google Hangouts (I've searched heavily for it in the past week, if it exists please enlighten me).

Meet has a setting that lets you choose how to see people. By default, it shows up to 4 people in equal tiles. After that, it puts the talker large and a few people in small tiles to the side.

But there's a layout option in the vertical dots menu that will let you force it back to 4 large tiles. You cannot specify how many tiles, though, it's always 4.

I like to call this the "Hollywood Squares" view.
