Pinning a Zoom conference participant is pretty straightforward.
All you oughta do is pick the three dots button next to the participant name and select Pin.
Nobody misses what the pinned participant will say and show during the meeting.

Zoom also has a mode called Spotlight.
In this mode, the 9 participants assigned with this feature become the main active speakers.
In other words, the others will only see those speakers.
Just like the Pin option, you will find Spotlight in the three dots menu.
For a more detailed guide, check it out below.
On mobile
To unpin, double-tap the participant again.
In other words, this video will be the largest in the conference room.
Heres how to enable it:
it’s possible for you to even spotlight additional participants.
For this, you oughta follow the steps listed below but selectAdd Spotlightinstead.
To cancel it, follow the same steps: tap the participants name and selectCancel Spotlight Video.
Keep in mind that a Spotlight feature is only available for Zoom meetings with at least 3 participants.
Why cant I pin someone on Zoom?
Whats more, participants must have their video turned on.
In other cases, the cause may be a glitch in the app itself.
Then I recommend relaunching the meeting first.
If that doesnt help, venture to restart Zoom.
What is the difference between Pin and Spotlight features on Zoom?
Both features allow you to focus on a particular participants video.
However, there are some critical differences between them.
So, the Pin option works only for you.
And the Spotlight option works for everyone in the meeting.
