Microsoft Teams’ Lock Video Spotlight feature launching soon: Techtsp
Techtsp reports: Microsoft Teams will soon introduce a new video spotlight feature that will enable locking a particular video feed for all attendees to stream. An official roadmap confirms Microsoft Teams will soon allow presenters to lock on an individual video participant for all users in a meeting. While the upcoming ‘video spotlight’ feature in Microsoft Teams is currently in development, it is slated for September 2020 release.
“We are delivering the ability for presenters to lock on an individual video feed for all attendees to see during a Teams meeting. Once selected, the individual identified as the spotlight will be the main video shown to all participants. This applies to PC, Mac, mobile, and Microsoft Teams room systems,” Microsoft said.

Interestingly, Skype for Business already provides users with a feature called Lock the video spotlight so that meeting hosts can lock the video spotlight on the main speaker. But since no such feature is available in Microsoft Teams, users have been requesting a similar functionality for quite some time now.
