How to Spotlight a Person (Essential for indicating Timer):

https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362653-How-Do-I-Spotlight-A-Speaker-

Hover over the video of the participant you want to spotlight and click … (3 dots), choose Spotlight Video

Spot lighted person will be brought to the Speaker view. Click the left upper corner, “Cancel” button to stop spotlighting.

Please spotlight the speaker/role as needed;
Please spotlight the “Timer role” for a few seconds when she/he indicate the timing color. Cancel the spotlight in a few seconds, so the Speaker can be on the spotlight again (“Spotlight feature” automatically “unmute”. Please mute the Timer again)

*Zoom automatically cast a spotlight on an active speaker (even it’s a noise, zoom will spotlight the person). Spotlight feature enables us to control who to be “on the stage”.

Mute and Unmute

https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362173-Mute-And-Unmute

When you hear noise or/and echo, muting will usually solve the echoing. Ask Attendees if they have multiple devices in the same room. If so, mute them or ask them mute one of their devices.

Mute All / Unmute All

*note “Mute All” will mute the speaker as well — be careful!
