We’re excited to announce a major upgrade to the Presenter Overlay —Known as Spotlight — across all customers of GoToMeeting, GoToWebinar, and GoToTraining! Presenters can now spotlight any participant’s camera on top of their presentation, driving engagement and helping everyone focus on the key speaker.

✨ How Does It Work?

Spotlight a Presenter

• Toggle the “Spotlight my camera” option in the camera context menu or “Spotlight me” on the presenter camera feed to add a presenter from Spotlight.
• Remove presenter camera from Spotlight using the same menu options.
• Presenters who stop sharing their screen or camera are automatically removed from Spotlight.
• Don't cover the presentation: Attendees can hover over the Spotlight presenter (your cursor will become a hand) to move the Spotlight to any chosen spot on the screen.

Spotlight Another Speaker

• In the camera grid or people panel, select a participant’s name and choose “Spotlight as Speaker” from the context menu. After confirming your selection, their video feed will be prominently spotlighted for all attendees.
  Note: This option is only available if the participant is currently sharing their camera.
• Remove them from Spotlight using the same menu.

Spotlight Controls for Presenters by Role 

• • Organizers: Can spotlight anyone
  • Panelists: Can spotlight staff members only
  • Attendees: Can only spotlight themselves

Note: This is available in the new GoTo Webinar experience.
