Put Your Speakers in the Spotlight 🌟
1 MIN READ 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. 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.

1 MIN READ We are excited to introduce a new feature this week: Transcript Localization, which leverages AI to automatically generate transcripts in native/local languages as selected by the Host for cloud-based recordings in GoTo Meetings. Now, Whether it’s a crucial business meeting, a conference call, or a brainstorming session, you can capture every word spoken accurately even when the conversation is in non-english (in native/local) language. Please note, The above option works well when the entire meeting is in one language only. We have seen quality compromises and unnecessary translations in case there are multiple languages being used in a meeting. We have also introduced a new Beta option i.e. Adaptive which automatically detects the transcription language from the initial Audio (Origin) clip and uses the same language to generate transcripts respectively. How to change transcription language ? Click on Profile logo (top-right corner) Click on Settings In Settings, Navigate to Meetings → Content section Use Drop-Down to select appropriate Transcription language Find out more about this feature here.
