Pin or Spotlight a video in Zoom Rooms
As part of a meeting, you have the option of pinning or spotlighting a video.
In order to watch a specific speaker, you will want to pin a screen in order to disable the active speaker view. If you pin another participant’s video, your local view in the Zoom Room will be affected, but not other participants’ views, and cloud recordings will not be affected if you pin another participant’s video.
When a video is highlighted, it creates the position of being the primary active speaker for all participants in both the meeting as well as the cloud recordings. For spotlights to work, you need at least three participants in the meeting who have their videos on during the meeting. There is only one person who is capable of doing spotlighting, and that is the host.
