Pin video feed in a recording
When recording a broadcast, the subsequent video created shows the video feeds of other participants (and initials if there is no video feed). Please create a feature where the organizer can mark a video feed as the "Recording feed" so that video feed is full screen on playback.
Use case: Project boards; an external camera is viewing a project board - we want it to be full screen so users can have a clear view of the board rather than having it quarter of the size and 3 boxes filled up with initials of some of the participants.

It is so important to be able to record and share video as it appears. It is bad enough that Teams makes you manually focus on the person speaking instead of auto shifting as people speak.

+1; I desperately need this; This is why I'm forced to use Zoom calls where you can pin the speaker in the recording. I'd rather do everything in Teams...

+1 - we definitely need the ability to record the pinned or the spotlighted video full screen or this platform won't work for us in the future. thanks!

I tried recording a single interview subject today using "spotlight". The lone speaker was on my screen the whole recording but when I downloaded the video there was a split screen with the interviewer and myself's initials---- please let me know if this feature is up and running.

This would be a great development!!! rather than having a split-screen it would be great to either pin who you want the video to stay on without other participants in the window or have the ability to spotlight whoever is talking.

Please, oh Please! I am helping a tech-less person record a digital speech for a graduation ceremony. Working remote makes this impossible to do during these times. Lets get the Pin Video feed up NOW!!!!!

Yep. +1 -- As an easy solution, the new "spotlight" feature should also apply to the recording.

Please, implement this. The lack of possibility to record a single stream makes MSTeams unusable for streaming and archiving any real school lesson with e.g. live demonstration.

While using Microsoft's HoloLens to help diagnose machine problems it is critical to lock the recording on the HoloLens operator view. Please provide a feature for us soon. Thank you!

I'm going to add a +1 to this as when recording for classes, we want to make sure no student information shows up in the video and sometimes students turn on their cameras during the recordings.

Hoping that adding my support of this option will help speed the addition of it to Teams. Please find some way to allow the focus of the recording to be on one person and not all in attendance. Thanks.

Yes. why isn't this a thing? I am trying to give demos to my students who can't be online and it's frustrating that you can't , as the channel owner, simply pick a box , in this case mine, to highlight and pin full screen for the recording. Everyone else's box is superfluous. They can be little boxes along the bottom that's fine or i can choose to pin someone else if needed. But the fact that you can't do this is maddening and counter productive
