Pin a participant video

Pin a participant video in Zoom — with the four heights of help laid out: do it now, make it easier for the next person to accept, work out the right move when you are stuck, and learn the pattern so it stops coming back.

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Pin Maria's video on my screen so I can watch her reactions during the interview. I need her video fixed locally without changing what others see. Confirm my view shows Maria plus the candidate's shared resume when they open it.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I pin a participant, show the host the difference: pin affects only my local view while spotlight affects everyone. Surface whether multiple pins are possible locally, whether pinning will hide gallery for me, and whether pinned video will stay when someone starts sharing. Offer a quick toggle to pin only video or both video and shared content on my screen.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I need to follow one person's nonverbal cues during a long interview while others are visible.

I'm interviewing Anika and need to study her expressions while the candidate screenshares code. I can't tell if pinning will keep her visible when the share starts. Should I pin Anika now and hope the layout preserves both, or wait until the share begins and then pin? What will give me the most reliable local view?

Become — change the pattern

Interviewers lose track of a key participant's reactions during shared screens.

Across hiring panels we keep missing interviewers’ cues because when candidates share screens the interviewer’s face disappears. What habit or default layout should we change so interviewers can consistently monitor one person's reactions during shared content without disrupting others' views?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
