Hi everybody.  
Can I spotlight or pin the host’s video for every participant in a video call so my students always see the professor’s video?  
I am using the Video SDK for React Native.  
This is what I’d like to do: [Pinning and Spotlighting Participants - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Rly4y7ya9k)  
I will appreciate any help guys. Thanks!

Hi @fr4nky.develop3r ,

Thank you for your question! When working with the custom UI of the Video SDK, you’d apply your own logic to pin/spotlight a specific user’s video. When calling [stream.renderVideo()](https://marketplacefront.zoom.us/sdk/custom/web/modules/stream.html#rendervideo), (x,y) coordinates are apart of the necessary parameters. You can manipulate those to maintain your host’s video at the top of the screen. An example can also be seen in the [Video SDK Web Sample App](https://github.com/zoom/videosdk-web-sample).

Thanks,  
Rehema
