Hello can the teacher see who you pinned and disable it but I already know they can disable it.

If the teacher has someone spotlighted, it will disable your ability to pin. They cannot see who you pin.

How to disable participants to pin me?

[@BenFinio]

You can't prevent other people from pinning you, but if the host spotlights someone, it will prevent participants from pinning someone else.

[@frozerter2850]

Could I get pinned on KZbin?

[@BenFinio]

No, youtube is a video streaming platform, not an online meeting platform like Zoom. Other people can't see you on KZbin unless you are doing your own live stream.

[@arrafi204]

i have meeting that over 300+ participants. I was confused how to pin someone without sliding video 1 by 1, does zoom can pin someone from searching name in participants?

[@BenFinio]

I don't think so - the best way I can think to do this is to ask the person to press the "raise hand" button, which should bring their name to the top of the participant list. See these videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqvJapige6l4eKs and kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpmsq2qZjauBbs0

[@okayneptune]

I think you can search their name in chat then press pin from there? I don't know I'm not sure

Can you know if someone pinned you in Google meets

Hi - all my tutorials are for Zoom, unfortunately I don't know anything about Google Meet.

[@nathaniellawrence4185]

Dude very usefull

[@DDPizazz]

Thank you for your informative videos! I have 4 questions: I want to record one person during a personal interview session. 1) if I spotlight my interviewee, will the resulting recording file only show that interviewee -- Or, will my thumbnail at the top of the screen also be visible in the recording? 2) While my interviewee is spotlighted, I assume they can still see my thumbnail while I am asking them questions during the interview. Is it possible for them to pin me on their screen while they are spotlighted, so they can be looking at a larger video of me while speaking the answers to my questions? 3) If the answer to #2 is yes, what will the recording look like? I'm hoping the recording will only show their face, or at least just their face with my tiny thumbnail at the top. 4) I saw that 3 participants are required to use the spotlight feature. Can the 3rd participant be me dialing in on my mobile, and checking the "hide non-video participant" option ? Thanks for any advice you can offer.

[@BenFinio]

Hi DDPizazz - I have a video on what gets recorded in Zoom that I think will answer your questions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZnNi42JiK2Zhck. But I think it's simpler than what you wrote out - you should just be able to pin the interviewee on your screen and make sure you're in speaker view. That's shown in the video I linked - notice how only the speaker shows up in the recording. But they will still be able to see you on their screen, and even pin you if they want - it won't affect the recording. You should not need to worry about spotlight or a third device. I have another video about the differences between pin and spotlight here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHeVfJxqqcemp68

[@kitdwyer8534]

@@BenFinio Thank you, Ben! That video link you provided first in your reply was perfectly answering my questions! I appreciate the quick response and your expertise!

[@kitdwyer8534]

I just don't want the recording to switch to me when I'm asking the questions, I only want the interviewee's face recorded, regardless of who is speaking. So speaker view, may not be the best for my circumstance? I'll watch it again, to see if I am understanding correctly.

[@BenFinio]

@@kitdwyer8534 I think your two most recent comments are showing out of order for some reason - to clarify, are you all set now?

[@kitdwyer8534]

@@BenFinio I thought I was all set, but I"m having multiple issues. 1) connectivity is unstable. I tried turning off my video, but keeping my audio on during a recording to save bandwidth. 2) my Bluetooth device drops the audio from time to time. I have ordered a new one but that won't be here for 3 more days. 3) my participant cannot find the pinning option in either of our videos during the meeting. As host, I found the pinning option, which seems to work very well, but my participant could not pin. I will look again in settings to see if I need to enable pinning for participants. During my practice meeting I clicked the "allow multiple pins" option, but that made no difference for the participant being able to pin.

What do you mean by "adjusting"? The host can force you to turn your video off, but they shouldn't be able to turn it on if you have it off.

[@Beautiful-tu2ym]

If the Host pins a participant, will that person's profile pic always be displayed next to the host during zoom meetings (except when another person is spotlighted as the speaker)?

[@BenFinio]

Honestly I'm not sure because you can also rearrange gallery view, so the pinned person might not be next to the host.

[@emrecayoglu8000]

Thanks for the work Mr.Moose

[@tustack00]

There's an article saying zoom host can control a participants camera such as changing the angle pan tilt zoom.

[@BenFinio]

They have to request permission to control your camera, they can't just take it over without your permission: support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/203028599-far-end-camera-control

[@BenFinio]

also, most regular webcams (on laptops and USB webcams for PCs) don't have this pan and tilt feature, this is usually on fancy webcams in conference rooms.
