4/1/2026 update: We’ve just rolled out a smoother, faster, and more inclusive Spotlight experience for all of our GoTo Training Customers! Presenters can now enable Share with Spotlight in one step in desktop app, access Toggle Spotlight anytime regardless of camera or screen-sharing state, and spotlight themselves and other participants even when their camera is off - with avatar or name displayed instead.
This iteration enhances the original Spotlight experience by making it faster to activate, available under all conditions, and more visually inclusive for attendees.

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.
