# Spotlight a user

<!-- WARNING: THIS FILE WAS AUTOGENERATED! DO NOT EDIT! -->

Spotlighting a user calls attention to that user's video for everyone in the session, regardless of who is talking. Spotlight is typically used by a host to emphasize a speaker or presenter. The Video SDK for macOS supports spotlighting multiple users at once.

## Spotlight a user

To highlight a user's video for all participants, call `spotLightVideo` on the `ZMVideoSDKVideoHelper` with that user.

```swift
ZMVideoSDK.shared()?.getVideoHelper()?.spotLightVideo(user)
```

```objectivec
[[[ZMVideoSDK sharedVideoSDK] getVideoHelper] spotLightVideo:user];
```

## Remove spotlight from a user

To drop a user from the spotlight, call `unSpotLightVideo` with that user.

```swift
ZMVideoSDK.shared()?.getVideoHelper()?.unSpotLightVideo(user)
```

```objectivec
[[[ZMVideoSDK sharedVideoSDK] getVideoHelper] unSpotLightVideo:user];
```

## Remove spotlight from everyone

To clear the spotlight for every user at once, call `unSpotlightAllVideos`.

```swift
ZMVideoSDK.shared()?.getVideoHelper()?.unSpotlightAllVideos()
```

```objectivec
[[[ZMVideoSDK sharedVideoSDK] getVideoHelper] unSpotlightAllVideos];
```

## Get the list of spotlighted users

Use `getSpotlightedVideoUserList` to retrieve every user who is currently spotlighted. This is useful when you need to render a different layout for spotlighted users (for example, in a larger view) or to update the UI when a user joins mid-session.

```swift
if let spotlighted = ZMVideoSDK.shared()?.getVideoHelper()?.getSpotlightedVideoUserList() {
    for user in spotlighted {
        // Adjust your UI for each spotlighted user.
    }
}
```

```objectivec
NSArray<ZMVideoSDKUser *> *spotlighted = [[[ZMVideoSDK sharedVideoSDK] getVideoHelper] getSpotlightedVideoUserList];
for (ZMVideoSDKUser *user in spotlighted) {
    // Adjust your UI for each spotlighted user.
}
```

To react to spotlight changes as they happen, implement [`onSpotlightVideoChanged`](/docs/video-sdk/macos/video/video-events/#spotlight-list-changes).
