Since 2009 when the Live Deals tab on the side screen of Yoville was taken off, the Developers of Zynga still havent fixed the Spotlight Mic problem.
As you can see below only the far left side is covered up by darkness, when the Spotlight mic is supposed to cover up the Entire room and dim the light on you. but a lil corner on the right side is still light up no matter where you put the Mic.
Im guessing Zynga will never fix this issue -_-
But if you want a way to use your Spotlight Mic then i would suggest putting it in the spot that isnt lit up, that way the light dims on you and noone would notice
