In Webex you could hide panelists from view when presenting. Is there a way we can do this in MS Teams?

When running webinars in Webex you could 'bring to stage' and 'remove from stage' the panelists. When we were presenting we would remove from stage the panelists so that the participants simply saw the presentation. After the presentation we would return the panelists to view. Have been trying to find a way to do this in MS Teams. Panelists can hide but this just turns their camera off and there names/initials are still visible.

I have heard that this can be done but can't seem to find where to do this?

    Hi @CLANCY, Tanya

    Based on your case description, the Spotlight video feature in Teams meetings may be helpful to you.

    Spotlighting a video is like pinning it for everyone in the meeting. If you're an organizer or a presenter, you can choose up to seven people's video feeds (including your own) to highlight for everyone else. Please refer to this reference.
