Hi!

Is there any mechanism which allows us to keep particular participant pinned in Zoom clients of other participants during screen sharing?

Hi @anton.yereshchenko,

Does [spotlighting](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362653-Spotlighting-participants-videos) sound like what you’re looking for? If so, the SDK does support this, but only when using the default UI (even if using it programmatically). We may be adding support for custom UI mode in the future, but are currently investigating the possibility of it.

Thanks!
