I actively facilitate Zoom meetings and webinars for clients, and often provide customized video fed to my "camera" feed using various tools like OBS Virtual Camera or vMix External Camera. When I want to spotlight my special video feed, the only way is to locate my participant video and right-click... but for any other person's video, I can right-click them in the Participant window, and a "Replace/Add Spotlight" menu shows up.
WHY is there not an option to spotlight myself as host from the Participant window? Seems like the client software must explicitly decide NOT to show that for the host.
This makes starting the spotlight for the host much more cumbersome. Please consider allowing the "Replace/Add Spotlight" menu options on the Host in the Participant window!
Thanks!

Sorry... I posted that from one of my client accounts. But yeah, here's what the menus look like.

Non-Hosts:
Sure would be nice to be able to pick "Spotlight" for myself as Host!
