My Zoom Camera is my OBS output. I use Stream Deck and often share my screen with the push of a button that shows my Display 2.
My current workaround is to hit the 3 dots on my thumbnail and hit Spotlight for Everyone so my screen share is big enough for them to read.
How I would LOVE a keyboard shortcut for "Spotlight for Everyone" so it can happen so much faster/easier.
*Of course, this would require a toggle on that shortcut to Remove Spotlight.
Pretty please?!?
Thank you,
Barry Friedman

I got so excited when I saw this! I just looked through all the Keyboard Shortcuts and don't see a "Spotlight Section" nor an option to enable a Spotlight for Everyone. Am I missing it, or can you tell me where it is? Thank you so much.

...I think there is a miscommunication.
I believe ZoomMate is requesting that a keyboard shortcut exist for 'Spotlight for all'.

You could take it a step forward and assign participants a number 0-9. Ctrl + # would replace spotlight. Ctrl + Alt + # would add spotlight. Alt + # would remove spotlight.

That's a good idea, but it wouldn't work well --participants change positions as they (or others) drop in and out, as video feeds are switched on/off, and as the focus changes as people speak... a numbered system could quickly become quite confusing.
However, a keyboard shortcut for 'spotlight self for all', doesn't seem difficult to implement at all, and would help a lot of presenter workflows.
