</div>

**Description**  
Running PinVideo on the Electron SDK, even in the demo app, doesn’t work.  
Return error code 2.

let opts = {  
bPin: true,  
bFirstView: true,  
userid:   
}  
let ret = zoomvideo.MeetingVideo\_PinVideo(opts);

**Which Electron Client SDK version?**  
Current Electron SDK version

**To Reproduce(If applicable)**  
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start a meeting in the Electron SDK demo
2. Get your userid with GetParticipantsList(), you are [0]
3. use that userid for the PinVideo function, doesn’t work. Return error code 2. Mute/ unmute using the same userid works so the userid is correct.

This is using the Demo, and the standard UI. not using a custom UI.

Oh that’s not good. I really need either spotlight or at least pin video in the app I’m  
making. Otherwise, I practically wasted my time developing the rest of the features. Hope somebody from Zoom can confirm if they should still work.
