When someone's video is spotlighted in a meeting, it'll be the main video you see on Surface Hub.
For now, you're not able to start or stop spotlighting on Surface Hub, but when someone using the desktop app spotlights a video, that video will be spotlighted on Surface Hub just like it is for people on desktop or mobile.Â
