Microsoft Teams on iOS and iPadOS just received a new update that makes it easier to highlight specific people within a meeting. The app now supports Spotlight for up to seven people in a meeting on phones or tablets running iOS or iPadOS.

Spotlight allows you to pin specific people's video feeds within a meeting. This makes it easier to keep the focus of the meeting on a group of people. Using the Spotlight feature pins the video feeds for everyone in the meeting, not just your own personal view.

Here's the complete changelog from Microsoft:

You can grab the latest update for Teams through the App Store. The Android version of Microsoft Teams also received an update recently, but the changelog is from a previous update.
