**Description** The following method is not working when called on other participants as a Host: - `zoomvideo.MeetingVideo_SpotlightVideo({ bSpotlight: true, userid: })` **Which version?** Latest Electron SDK v5.4.54802.0124 (running in macOS Big Sur) **To Reproduce(If applicable)** Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. Download, build and run Zoom SDK Electron Demo in macOS Big Sur. 2. Join a meeting without login. 3. Test `zoomaudio.MeetingVideo_SpotlightVideo` with different User IDs. 4. Nothing happens and number `2` is always returned by the function, which seems to be `SDKERR_WRONG_USEAGE`. **Additional context** While I can manually spotlight video of any user through the original Zoom client, SDK’s `zoomvideo.MeetingVideo_SpotlightVideo` function won’t work. Thank you so much for your help in advance as well as for the effort of providing a way for us to make useful features through SDKs! ---

Hi @desko27, Is the user that you are trying to pin broadcasting video? Only users who are broadcasting video can be pinned. Thanks, Alex ---

Yes, all the users are broadcasting video. This is tested in a meeting with 5 users who are broadcasting video. I can spotlight them from the Zoom client, but not programatically. ---

Any updates on this? It seems like there is an issue somewhere in the SDK and I cannot proceed adding a useful feature to our software without `MeetingVideo_SpotlightVideo` working properly. Thanks! ---

Hey @desko27, Thanks for using the dev forum! SpotlightVideo now only works in the default Zoom UI. Are you using the default meeting UI or a custom meeting UI? Thanks! Michael ---
