The Zoom Community will be placed in read-only mode January 9th, 2026 through January 22nd, 2026 to deliver you a new and improved community experience!

The community will still be accessible, however, the creation of any new discussions or replies will be temporarily unavailable. We appreciate your patience during this time.

When a participant is spotlighted, there is no video.

I've been having an issue seeing spotlighted participants. I can see everyone else, but the spotlighted square goes black. Has anyone had this issue?

Hi @Jagnyc, welcome to the Zoom Community! I see you have not yet received a response from the community so I wanted to check in. Are you still experiencing this issue? If so, let me know and I will try my best to help you get this resolved. Thanks!

Hi @julianabk thank you for your contribution! 

 

I'm sorry to hear that youre having difficulties with the spotlight feature. In this case, I would first suggest completely uninstalling Zoom, restarting your device, and then installing the Zoom client again. You can follow the steps here to do just that: Uninstalling and reinstalling the Zoom application 

 

Let me know if that helps!

Carla,
