Simultaneous Panelists - 4 speakers on at one time

i need to have 4 people on for a webinar but can't figure out how to do that with pinning and/or spotlighting. we've tested a few formats and never are able to get multiple people on at the same time when we look at the recording

    Spotlighting is definitely what you want here - pinning is local-only.

    You should be able to spotlight up to 9 participants, as outlined here:

    https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0066300

     

    You will see spotlighting reflected in the "Gallery View" cloud recording.

     

    Can you also confirm whether you are looking to perform cloud recording or local recording?

    Thank you! we are actually livestreaming which is our first priority, but we can clourd record or local record. Our preference is to be able to simultaneously have all speakers shown at the same time, but have not had any success despite diff tests

    Got it, so you'll probably want to hard-set the attendee view to follow host-view and then spotlight.

     

    It has been a second since I've used the livestreaming functionality on Zoom (there are many better platforms for this), so if someone knows about a view restriction for the RTMP feed that I'm unaware of, I'm sure they'll chime in here.

    Yah we forced the host view, tried combinations of pinning and spotlighting, to no avail. Thank you!
