SPOTLIGHTING A PARTICIPANT

I HAVE SET UP A MEETING WITH 3 PARTICIPANTS.

 

I CAN SEE THEM ALL ON "GALLERY" (AND SPEAKER) VIEWS

 

I HAVE THE OPTION FROM MY OWN " ... "  AS HOST TO  SPOTLIGHT MYSELF 

 

BUT FOR MY 2 PARTICIPANTS I CAN ONLY PIN THEM.

 

WHY CAN I NOT SPOTLIGHT MY PARTICIPANTS?

 

I ATTACH THE PARTICIPANT'S DROP DOWN (RED ITEM)

 

I ATTACH MY DROP DOWN AS HOST   ICG HOST (GREEN)

 

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.

Hi @ICG 

 

The Zoom documentation for Spotlight says you need "Three (3) or more participants with video on" to be able to Spotlight.

 

https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362653

 

Maybe this means you need three Participants in addition to the Host (I'm not sure) and maybe the Host can always Spotlight themselves. I would need to do some testing.

 

Did you have your own Video on at the point you were trying to Spotlight you two Participants - and did they each have their video on too?
