How to Use Spotlight on Zoom

Use this interactive demo to learn how to spotlight a participant for everyone in a Zoom meeting.

Quick summary

The Zoom Spotlight feature lets a meeting host pin a participant's video as the primary view for all attendees. Activating Spotlight for Everyone takes just a few clicks from the participant's video tile and can be removed at any time.


Steps

  1. In the Zoom meeting room, hover your mouse cursor over the video of the participant you wish to spotlight.
  2. Click the More Options button at the top-right corner of the participant's video.
  3. Select Spotlight For Everyone from the list of options.
  4. The selected participant instantly becomes the primary speaker as the Spotlight feature is activated for all attendees.
  5. When finished, click Remove Spotlight to return to the original meeting layout.

📌 Why this matters

Zoom's Spotlight feature gives meeting hosts precise control over which participant appears as the primary video feed for every attendee, making it essential for webinars, presentations, and structured team calls. By pinning a specific speaker for everyone simultaneously, hosts eliminate distracting video switching and keep the audience focused on the right person. This is especially valuable for educators, event organizers, and remote team leads who need a consistent, professional viewing experience across all participants. Knowing how to activate and remove Spotlight in seconds ensures smoother meeting management without interrupting the flow of conversation.
