Spotlight one or more participants so their video is highlighted to everyone in a Zoom Video SDK for Windows session.

IZoomVideoSDKVideoHelper reference

Spotlight a user


Spotlighting a user calls attention to that user's video for everyone in the session, regardless of who is talking. Spotlight controls are available to the session host and are called on `IZoomVideoSDKVideoHelper`.

## Spotlight a user

To spotlight a user, call `spotLightVideo` with the user's `IZoomVideoSDKUser`. The user must have their video on.

```cpp
IZoomVideoSDKVideoHelper* pVideoHelper = m_pVideoSDK->getVideoHelper();
pVideoHelper->spotLightVideo(pUser);
```

## Remove spotlight from a user

To remove the spotlight from a single user, call `unSpotLightVideo`.

```cpp
m_pVideoSDK->getVideoHelper()->unSpotLightVideo(pUser);
```

## Remove spotlight from everyone

To clear all spotlights at once, call `unSpotlightAllVideos`.

```cpp
m_pVideoSDK->getVideoHelper()->unSpotlightAllVideos();
```

## Get the list of spotlighted users

To read the users who are currently spotlighted, call `getSpotlightedVideoUserList`.

```cpp
IVideoSDKVector<IZoomVideoSDKUser*>* pSpotlighted = m_pVideoSDK->getVideoHelper()->getSpotlightedVideoUserList();
```

To respond when the spotlighted users change, implement `onSpotlightVideoChanged`. For details, see [Listen for video events](/docs/video-sdk/windows/video/video-events/#spotlight-changes).
