Learn how to pin (display one or more video streams even if not presenting) and spotlight (show only those who are pinned) in Go Live.

Pinning a Presenter

Pinning allows presenters and moderators to always display one or more video streams in the video grid for Go Live even if they are not speaking.

For example, if three people are pinned, their video will always display in the video grid and the other video slots will dynamically display based on voice activation.
 

To pin people, click the dots next to their name in the video player (visible when hovering over a participant) and click Pin. Note that the presenter's webcam must be on to be pinned.

Spotlighting a Presenter

Spotlighting allows you to only display those who are pinned. Presenters must be pinned to be spotlighted.  For example, if three people are pinned and you enable Spotlighting, only those three people will display in the video grid.

While Spotlighting is enabled, you can add people to the Go Live video display by pinning them or remove people from the video display by unpinning them.

To enable Spotlighting, click the Spotlighting icon in the header of the video window with one or more participants pinned.

Note: Spotlighting only works during the live session. The archive will still display all non-spotlighted webcams as well. This will be fixed in a follow-up release.
