Spotlighting a video
Spotlighting a video
The Spotlight Video feature allows host or co-hosts to disable active speaker view and show the chosen spotlit video as if they were the active speaker. Seems like an odd idea but it might be useful if one person is voicing another's activity, where it is important for the audience to see the activity.
Unlike the Pin Video feature (see below), the spotlit video makes a change for all participants in the meeting or webinar so that they will only see the spotlit speaker as the active speaker.
This feature is often used to spotlight a keynote speaker.

Pinning a video
Pinning a video
The Pin Video feature allows you to disable active speaker view and see your chosen pinned video as if they were the active speaker. The overall layout will still look like Speaker view, with the largest video being the one that you’ve pinned. This feature is available in both Zoom Meetings and Webinars.
Note: Pinning another participant's video will only affect your local view and local recordings. It will not affect the views of other participants and will not affect the cloud recording of the event.
You need a minimum of two participants to be able to use the Pin video feature. The feature is only available where participants have video enabled. You cannot pin the black square with a displayed username.
