No Spotlight option

I am teaching using  Zoom and want to Spotlight either my laptop camera or my second screen where the slides are being displayed. The students join without turning on their camera. But I can't get the Spotlight option to show. I searched through settings but nothing provides a Spotlight option. How can I control what my students see? I don't want my slides to appear as just another attendee, I want the slides full screen. And to occasionally display my image on my laptop camera.

I think what you're referring to is the Share Screen feature in which you can share your slides on the second screen.

Spotlighting is used to highlight the participants.

To share your screen, click or tap the "Share Screen" option in your meeting controls. You can choose to share your entire desktop, specific applications, a portion of your screen, or other content like a whiteboard or video. Once you start sharing, a green border will appear around the shared area, and you'll see meeting controls that allow you to stop sharing when needed. If you're using a mobile device, notifications will indicate that screen sharing is in progress.

Thanks.

Specific to a phone with no extra screens, how would I share my phone screen? 

For example, a lab exercise where everyone would only see the lab?
