**Description**  
We are using the Zoom Client SDK with a 20 person test, all using the same browser (Chrome on Windows) and spotlight was working VERY inconsistently -

- Those who were able to see gallery view could see 4 spotlighted at a time
  - When the 5th spotlight was added, they could only see that single 5th spotlight

- The people who could only see speaker view could only see one spotlighted speaker at a time, always the most recent speaker to be spotlighted.
- For some people, when the 5th speaker was spotlighted, the Zoom screen went black and they were disconnected from the meeting, including 2 spotlighted speakers themselves.

**Error**

**Which Web Client SDK version?**  
Web Client SDK version 1.9.6

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

1. Join a Zoom Meeting in Browser using the SDK

2. Host activates spotlight view

3. Viewers confirms they can see 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 spotlighted viewers

**Device (please complete the following information):**

- Device: Laptop
- OS: Windows 10
- Browser: Chrome
- Browser Version [92.0.4515.107]

**Additional context**  
We tested with 20 users, all on Windows 10, all on Chrome 92.0.4515.107 and all had different results

Hi @rkhassen-EEG,

Similar to the other post you created, can you please check to make sure you’re leveraging the origin trials outlined here:

> [@Gallery View Button not showing in Chrome Browser](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/gallery-view-button-not-showing-in-chrome-browser/54674/3):
>
> Is your app running in Web Isolation or using the SharedArrayBuffer Origin Trial? That looks like one of the features that get disabled when the SDK has no access to the SharedArrayBuffer, which is no longer accessible in the latest Chrome update unless running in Web Isolation or using the Origin Trial. For reference:

Let me know—thanks!  
Will
