On a vMix call, I have my own split screen. On Multiview i have:
Layer 1: Camera
Layer 2: Call
Layer 3: Split screen layout
Now the problem. I want their names up whenever I go to this screen but not when I show an individual person. No problem, I'm capable of setting up a Trigger to do that. The problem is that at times I need to take those names off for a bit to show some type of text, like a website address. The text would overlap on the names as there is not a ton of room. This is where my knowledge ends. I have a feeling this needs to be set up completely different but I'm not sure how.

This is how I display names on split screen, inside the pips. That's part of the multiview, then below I can put whatever I want for titles.

When going to single shot, a trigger sets my master Lower third to get data for say camera one. The single shot lower thirds uses the same GT Title look at my main title. It's all driven form a single Google Sheets row.

An alternative approach would be to use Virtual Input copies of each call, with the speaker name only added in the copy. That gives you a clean call to add to any multiviews where you don't want the name to show.

The virtual input was the answer for me. Thank you!
