Video and anonymity

At our university some of our students/teachers have this request: the possibility to show their camera/video to the teacher only, and not see (or be seen by ) the other students. The teacher can see everyone, each student can only see the teacher. Is there any way to make this possible. This has been put foreward as a solution that might help against all those black screens.

Focus Mode has recently been introduced and should allow you to do what you are looking for https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360061113751-Using-focus-mode-

This sounds a whole lot like focus mode: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360061113751-Using-focus-mode-

 

Is that what you’re looking for?

 

Cheers,
