# 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 Android supports spotlighting multiple users at once.

## Spotlight a user

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

```kotlin
val videoHelper = ZoomVideoSDK.getInstance().videoHelper
videoHelper.spotLightVideo(user)
```

```java
ZoomVideoSDKVideoHelper videoHelper = ZoomVideoSDK.getInstance().getVideoHelper();
videoHelper.spotLightVideo(user);
```

## Remove spotlight from a user

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

```kotlin
ZoomVideoSDK.getInstance().videoHelper.unSpotLightVideo(user)
```

```java
ZoomVideoSDK.getInstance().getVideoHelper().unSpotLightVideo(user);
```

## Remove spotlight from everyone

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

```kotlin
ZoomVideoSDK.getInstance().videoHelper.unSpotlightAllVideos()
```

```java
ZoomVideoSDK.getInstance().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.

```kotlin
val spotlighted = ZoomVideoSDK.getInstance().videoHelper.spotlightedVideoUserList
spotlighted.forEach { user ->
    // adjust your UI for each spotlighted user
}
```

```java
List<ZoomVideoSDKUser> spotlighted = ZoomVideoSDK.getInstance().getVideoHelper().getSpotlightedVideoUserList();
for (ZoomVideoSDKUser user : spotlighted) {
    // adjust your UI for each spotlighted user
}
```
