Spotlight a user

Spotlighting a user calls attention to that user's video for everyone in the session, regardless of who is talking. Spotlight is typically used by a host to emphasize a speaker or presenter. The Video SDK for Android supports spotlighting multiple users at once.

Spotlight a user#

To highlight a user's video for all participants, call spotLightVideo on the VideoHelper with that user.

val videoHelper = ZoomVideoSDK.getInstance().videoHelper
videoHelper.spotLightVideo(user)

ZoomVideoSDKVideoHelper videoHelper = ZoomVideoSDK.getInstance().getVideoHelper();
videoHelper.spotLightVideo(user);

Remove spotlight from a user#

To drop a user from the spotlight, call unSpotLightVideo with that user.

ZoomVideoSDK.getInstance().videoHelper.unSpotLightVideo(user)

ZoomVideoSDK.getInstance().getVideoHelper().unSpotLightVideo(user);

Remove spotlight from everyone#

To clear the spotlight for every user at once, call unSpotlightAllVideos.

ZoomVideoSDK.getInstance().videoHelper.unSpotlightAllVideos()

ZoomVideoSDK.getInstance().getVideoHelper().unSpotlightAllVideos();

Get the list of spotlighted users#

Use getSpotlightedVideoUserList() to retrieve every user who is currently spotlighted. This is useful when you need to render a different layout for spotlighted users (for example, in a larger view) or to update the UI when a user joins mid-session.

val spotlighted = ZoomVideoSDK.getInstance().videoHelper.spotlightedVideoUserList
spotlighted.forEach { user ->
    // adjust your UI for each spotlighted user
}

List<ZoomVideoSDKUser> spotlighted = ZoomVideoSDK.getInstance().getVideoHelper().getSpotlightedVideoUserList();
for (ZoomVideoSDKUser user : spotlighted) {
    // adjust your UI for each spotlighted user
}
