Microsoft Teams is one of the top three most widely used one-stop collaboration tools available online as it enables organizations and employees to communicate with each other via audio/video and share content efficiently in real-time. The video conferencing app has gained a wide user base since the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to attract more users as it adds more and more features.
Using Spotlight in Microsoft Teams Meetings
A recent Teams feature that Microsoft has been pushing out is a Zoom-like Spotlight tool, which allows meeting organizers to highlight a participant’s video on the meeting screens of all attendees. In this post, we’ll explain what the Spotlight feature on Microsoft Teams is, how to use it, and the different things you need to know when using the feature during a Teams meeting.
Microsoft is giving presenters and meeting organizers the ability to lock someone's video as the main video for all meeting participants. The feature should be helpful for presenters to better control the flow of the meeting by controlling what everyone can see during a session.
This should free up more screen time for the participants selected by the presenter to speak during the meeting, and the feature could be useful for seminars and keynotes. As a presenter, you can spotlight your own video feed and someone else’s at any time, and also switch between participants.
