You're welcome

Thanks Jose!

Thanks Hal! Looks like you were able to comment - I made a plug about 0:30 into the video but only asked once :) Will think about how I can incorporate that in more!

Hi Pam, as of right now there is not in Zoom Meeting. Zoom Webinar should have that ability. Now with spotlighting, you can spotlight three people while sharing a slide and the live experience in your Zoom Meeting would be the visual of 3 speakers plus slides. The exception would be for people watching on a tablet or phone - as of right now, Zoom would only show them one speaker at a time with the slides. We're hoping they'll continue to release updates as I've seen more sessions want to have multiple speakers on screen and slides.

Hi Reid, it should show up on Facebook Live the same as in Zoom. If you're streaming directly from Zoom to Facebook, you will have the Zoom watermark on your livestream. But to make sure that you're capturing everything you want, I'd suggest doing a test session to make sure you're seeing what you want on Facebook. I've found small tweaks to Zoom's settings and updates can impact what you see on other platforms. Hope this helps!

Hi Kaffepojke, great question! When you spotlight, you're controlling speaker view so it'll impact your speaker view recording. If you record to the cloud, you can only capture one speaker talking at a time in speaker view. If you also record locally, you can capture multiple spotlighted speakers at the same time (like a panel discussion). Hope that helps!

Yes, if you've updated your Zoom in the last few months (and I recommend doing it again before your livestream), you will now see a search bar at the top of the participant list when your meeting hits 20+ attendees. I'm not sure the exact number but if you have to scroll through your attendees, the search bar appears. Good luck with your livestream!

Hi Maggie, thank you! And yes, unfortunately, as people join your meeting, the gallery view will switch. If you're spotlighting people, you'll be able to control who is being viewed so even if people join late, your spotlight/speaker view will remain the same. Hope that helps!

Check that you have the most updated version of Zoom: support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362233-Upgrading-Zoom-to-the-latest-version

One of the recent updates in the last few months was the ability to search your participant list by name. Before you start spotlighting, you can pin your speakers which will just affect your personal view to put them in the front of the group and then spotlight them as needed. This will only work though if the speakers have their cameras on and don't hop off during your meeting. I've found the searching method on the participant list is the easiest way to find them when you have such a big group

Hi Marwan, I don't believe that you can. You can still pin in breakouts (which affects your personal view) but I've never used the spotlight function in a breakout room

Hi Cik, great question! Unfortunately at this time you're aren't able to spotlight someone in a breakout room, that feature is available only in the main Zoom room. Hope that helps!

Yes, you can! Recording to the cloud will capture your spotlighting in speaker view (1 person at a time) vs. recording locally will capture multiple spotlights. Here's a video I made on it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fM6JdqmZqZ-1omQ.html

Here's a video I made answering this question: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLR1Zap7xM6wpoU.html

Hi Berkey Family, these are some great questions. So the "Turn on Original Sound" is a setting for your own audio, it just allows you to turn off Zoom's automatic background noise supression. It's not the same as muting yourself. If you spotlight someone, you would still be able to hear anyone else who is unmuted, but the video wouldn't jump to that person. You can disable the ability for attendees to unmute themselves under "more" in the "Participants" tab once you start a meeting. Anyone who is a host or cohost would be able to unmute themselves still but it would turn off that ability for your audience. For what you're looking for, it sounds like you want to disable the audio on one of your camera feeds, meaning don't even connect to Zoom audio and make sure it's muted so you don't get audio feedback and then you can use the audio from the one camera source and toggl between views by spotlighting them. Does that answer your question?

@@loganclements So nice of you to get back to me.

Hi Lori, you should be able to spotlight the host/speaker and then direct attendees to select "Gallery View" from the view options on the upper right hand side. Unfortunately in Zoom Meeting, as the host, you cannot change everyone's view back to Gallery but I've found dropping a prompt in your chat and/or having your host verbally prompt people to change their view, that will achieve what you're looking for!

Hi GPS Dhani Sham Singh, the spotlight feature only appears if you have at least 3 people in a Zoom meeting or Webinar. Once you have three people, or three devices (ie. your computer and phone could count as 2), then you should be able to spotlight people for your audience!

@@loganclements i tried but...

worked

Hi ETD Support, are you the host of the Zoom meeting? You won't see the option unless you're the host or co-host of the meeting and you have at least 3 people in the Zoom meeting. If you only have 1 or 2 people in the meeting, you will not see the option to spotlight. Hope that helps!
