Spotlight someone's video in Microsoft Teams meetings
Spotlighting a video is like pinning it for everyone in the meeting. If you're an organizer or a presenter, you can choose up to seven people's video feeds (including your own) to highlight for everyone else.
Note: You won't be able to spotlight a video if your view is set to Large gallery or Together mode.

There are a couple of different ways to do it:
-
Right-click on the person's video itself and select Spotlight
-

When you're ready to end the spotlight, right-click again and choose Stop spotlighting
-
If multiple people are spotlighted, you can stop spotlighting everyone at once by selecting People
Spotlight your own video

When someone's video is spotlighted in a meeting, it'll be the main video you see on Surface Hub.
For now, you're not able to start or stop spotlighting on Surface Hub, but when someone using the desktop app spotlights a video, that video will be spotlighted on Surface Hub just like it is for people on desktop or mobile.
