Current Release

November 20, 2023

Changes to existing features

• Changed local storage to one year for free accounts
  The local storage duration for free accounts has been changed to one year, allowing messages stored locally to remain accessible for a year for free users. This change will take effect for both new installations and reinstalls.
• Updated Zoom favicon
  Zoom is unveiling a new favicon (aka: shortcut icon) designed for both the desktop client and web. This updated icon will apply to various aspects of the Zoom client, including the system tray and taskbar, and also extend to the website icon, browser tab icon, URL icon, and bookmark icon.

New and enhanced features

• Administrator features
  • Survey setting section
    Account owners and admins can manage their surveys more efficiently, specifically enabling or disabling link sharing for surveys within their account using the new Survey tab under Account Settings and Group settings. Currently, Survey settings are located in the Meeting and Webinar section and there is no way to disable Survey link sharing.
  • Support sign-in and switch between multiple accounts: Admin control
    Account owners and admins can allow their users to sign-in and switch between multiple accounts using the Zoom desktop client and Zoom mobile app. They can customize the sign-in and multiple account switching settings either through Device Management or on a per-device basis using the MSI/PLIST/GPO option DisableMultipleAccountsSwitch. This feature won’t be immediately available as it is dependent on a backend server update currently scheduled for November 28, 2023.
  • Group settings in Team Chat AI Companion
    Group-level settings will be required for all features of the Team Chat AI Companion, such as Chat Compose and Thread Summary. This enhancement provides greater control and customization within team communication, ensuring alignment with the team's specific needs and workflows.
  • Restrict local recording for guest participants
    Admins can restrict the ability of guest participants (meeting participants not in your account) to request the host to grant them local recording privileges. This gives admins more control over all guest participants’ local recording abilities, rather than controlling that at the user-level through in-meeting host controls. This can be controlled by admins at the Account and Group levels, as sub-settings under their respective Local Recording settings.
  • Restricting local recording and saving chat transcripts for non-ZDM managed devices
    Admins can restrict the ability for their users to join meetings and be able to locally record or locally save meeting chat transcripts when connected through a device not managed by Zoom Device Management. This provides admins the flexibility to allow their users to join their meetings on personal devices, while ensuring meeting data cannot be saved locally to an unmanaged device. This can be controlled by admins at the Account and Group levels, as sub-settings under their respective Local Recording and Meeting Chat settings.
  • Follow-the-user controls for AI Companion features for Meetings
    Admins have more granular control of use of AI Companion features in Zoom Meetings through the Restrict in-meeting features for users joining meetings option for account admins. If these AI Companion features are disabled, the user will not be able see or interact with the AI Companion features, but their audio will still be transcribed and included in the summary and available for questions by others. This is also available as client-side mass deployment policies.
  • Sign language and spoken language translation reporting
    Admins can view reports on the use of language translation and sign-language translation features for meetings on their account, providing them with better understanding of how much their account utilizes these features. This report provides a total number of minutes of language translation used in the chosen month, as well as breaking down the usage by meeting and languages provided for each meeting.
  • Enhanced admin controls for AI Companion questions and meeting summary
    Admin controls for AI Companion questions and meeting summary, available at the account, group, and user levels, include the ability to lock the sub-settings regarding auto-start and who is given access to AI Companion questions and summary.
• User features
  • Swedish language support
    Zoom users can change the language of their Zoom web page and desktop client to Swedish, in addition to the currently supported languages.
  • Smart Recording with AI Companion enhancement: Meeting Coach
    Hosts can get even more information from their cloud recordings by having AI Companion analyze key meeting and conversation factors. Analytics are provided on your talk speed, talk-listen ratio, longest spiel (or monologue), filler word usage, and patience and are accessible when viewing the cloud recording. This is controlled at the Account, Group, and User level, as a sub-setting under the Smart Recording with AI Companion setting.
  • Export registrant list
    Webinar hosts will be able to easily export the current list of registrants, including the registrant’s name, email address, and their unique join link, directly from the webinar details page. This makes it easier for hosts to export their registrants and send out their own custom emails with the necessary information for attendees to join the upcoming webinar.
  • Auto-start AI Companion questions and meeting summary options when scheduling
    When scheduling a meeting in the web portal, hosts can enable auto-start for AI Companion questions and meeting summary. This gives hosts more granular control over which meetings should be scheduled with AI Companion features set to automatically start, while still allowing them the ability to manually start these features for others not scheduled to auto-start the AI Companion features.

Resolved issues

• Minor bug fixes
• Resolved an issue where a webinar co-host cannot access the on-demand cloud recording
• Resolved an issue where the webinar participant ID is missing in the email reminder

You’ll maintain the ability to change messages by adding tone, inputting prompts, or changing the length of the message to give you confidence in what you’re communicating. This setting is available at the Account level. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend server update currently scheduled for June 5, 2023.

New and enhanced features

• Administrator features

    Account owners and admins on Education accounts can allow hosts to enable the Q&A feature in meetings.

    Account owners and admins using Okta for SSO can enable this feature, allowing users in their account to get a higher level of security for end-to-end encryption meetings. With Okta Authentication for end-to-end encryption, meeting participants fetch user profile data and cryptographic credentials directly from Okta. Meeting participants verify that user data provided by Zoom matches those provided by Okta, and therefore do not need to trust Zoom to faithfully distribute keys or identities. If the account has multiple associated domains, the admin can apply this feature against only one domain.

    Account owners and admins can use the Zoom’s key as a backup to automatically encrypt data when their CMK key is not available. Once their key becomes available again, the data is re-encrypted with the latter.

Hosts can upload files before and during the webinar, as well as make those files visible to attendees as needed. Supported file types include JPG/JPEG, 24-bit PNG, PDF, and PPT. Hosts can upload up to 50 files per webinar and each file can be up to 15 MB in size.

• Developer features
  • Set the minimum Zoom SDK version

  • Create contact groups directly in the web portal
    Account owners and admins can directly create contact groups in the web portal without group settings. They can select which contact groups to display in their Zoom client as well as their contact group privacy settings. This is only available on accounts with the New Admin Experience enabled. Users must be on client version 5.7.6 or higher to see these contact groups. Account owners and admins can also use SAML mapping to add contact groups.

    Account owners and admins can use file transfer controls to specify the file types and file size limits that their internal users can send and receive from external users. These controls can apply to 1:1 chats, group chats, and channels. Once enabled, this setting will only impact new files, not existing files. This setting is available at the account and group levels. Additionally, the Chat History user activity report shows when a file was restricted from access to your internal users.
  • Assign both Zoom Events license and Zoom Webinars license to a user
    Account owners and admins can assign both a Zoom Events license and a Zoom Webinars license to a user. Zoom Events capacity will be limited by the Zoom Events license.

Previously, users could not be assigned both Zoom Events and Zoom Webinars licenses.

    Account owners and admins can enable or disable video and screen share for participants in a Personal Audio Conference (PAC). These settings are available at the account, group, and user levels, and must be enabled by Zoom.

Customization options are only available at the account and group levels, and participants must be on client version 5.10.6 or higher.

• User features
  • Enhancements to set playback range and recording highlights
    When users set the playback range on a cloud recording, the original files selected by the user (audio and transcripts) are also trimmed and the trimmed version will overwrite the original recording file. Users can always restore the original version if needed. When a recording highlight is created and saved as a new file, the audio transcript file and closed caption file are cut at the same time. This feature is in beta and must be enabled by Zoom.
  • Enhancements to polling and quizzing CSV exports
    Hosts can export poll or quiz results as a CSV that replicates the visual layout of the in-meeting poll report. The CSV export layout has been improved for optimal formatting and readability.

New and enhanced features

• Administrator features
  • Chat Etiquette Tool
    Account owners and admins can create Chat Etiquette policies to identify defined keywords or text patterns/regular expressions (such as account numbers) and then determine what action occurs when a policy is triggered. When a user attempts to send a message through Zoom Chat and/or in-meeting and webinar chat that triggers a Chat Etiquette policy, the user is either warned or blocked from sending the message. Chat Etiquette policies are configured at the account level, and can be activated at the account or group level. Admins can create up to 50 policies on the account. This feature requires client version 5.6.0 or higher.
  • Bulk update SSO users’ email addresses
    Account owners and users with proper role permissions for editing user information can bulk update email addresses for users with the SSO login type through CSV file import. This feature must be enabled by Zoom.

  • Data center for dial-in and call out numbers
    When account owners or admins customize the dial-in numbers available for meetings, they can see the associated data center regions that are used to route calls. In addition, when customizing the call out numbers available for meetings, the list of available countries/regions is no longer impacted by the account’s enabled data centers.
  • Currency in usage reports
    Account owners and admins can see the associated currency they are billed in when viewing audio conferencing usage reports. Previously, all amounts were displayed in US dollars.
  • Control email notifications for recording transcription
    Account owners and admins can control if email notifications are sent when cloud recording transcriptions are done processing. This setting is available at the account, group, and user level; and can be locked at the account or group level. This setting is also enabled by default.
  • Support for Gesture Recognition
    Account owners and admins can enable or disable Gesture Recognition, which allows for visual hand gestures, such as a raised hand, to automatically display a corresponding meeting reaction. This feature currently supports Raise Hand and Thumbs Up reactions and requires client version 5.10.3 or higher. This setting can be enabled and locked at the account and group levels. This setting is disabled at the client level by default.
  • Separate settings for manual and automated captions
    Account owners and admins can enable or disable manual captions and automated captions (live transcription) separately. Admins might want to turn off manual captions as it can be a way for users to potentially “chat” during a meeting. Previously, these two features were controlled using one setting.
  • View breakout room activities from main session
    Account owners and admins can enable a breakout room option to allow hosts to view the level of activity in each open breakout room. Hosts and co-hosts can quickly view participants’ audio and video status, if they are sharing their screen, and any active reactions or nonverbal feedback. Once enabled, participants are notified before they join the breakout room that their activity status is shared with the host and any co-hosts. This setting is available at the account, group, and user levels. This feature requires hosts and participants to have client version 5.10.3 or higher for activity statuses to appear.
  • Customizable user questionnaires in Workspace reservation
    Account owners and admins can enable and create a Reservation Questionnaire and a Pre-Check In Questionnaire for employees to answer when using Workspace reservation. The Reservation Questionnaire is presented to users when making a reservation, while the Pre-Check In Questionnaire is emailed to users a set amount of time prior to the start of their reservation. Admins can set up the questionnaires at the account level or subsequent location levels.
  • Workspaces dashboard
    Account owners and admins can access the Workspaces dashboard to view and download metrics associated with Workspace reservations. Metrics include reservations made, questionnaire results, check-in rates, workspace utilization, and popular rooms and desks.
  • Introducing: Zoom Whiteboard
    We’ve redesigned our virtual whiteboarding experience to bring you the all-new Zoom Whiteboard, a cross-platform visual collaboration solution that’s built right into Zoom Meetings, the Zoom desktop client, and the Zoom web portal. Admins can restrict access to saving Whiteboards to the cloud for both in-meeting and out-of-meeting use, as well as exporting Whiteboard content.
• User features
  • Enhancement to Waiting Room participants order
    Hosts can choose to sort participants in the Waiting Room in chronological or alphabetical order. This option is available in the list of Waiting Room Options at the account, group, and user levels, and requires desktop client version 5.10.3 or higher.
  • Central library of polls
    Users can manage a central library of polls for meetings. They can create or edit polls and use them for Personal Meeting ID (PMI) and non-PMI meetings. Previously, polls for PMI and non-PMI meetings were managed separately. When a poll is marked as available to all meetings, it will appear in the list of polls that can be launched in a meeting. This new central repository will not replace the existing "Personal Meeting (PMI) polls"; polls created here will only appear in PMI meetings.
  • Introducing: Zoom Whiteboard
    We’ve redesigned our virtual whiteboarding experience to bring you the all-new Zoom Whiteboard, a cross-platform visual collaboration solution that’s built right into Zoom Meetings, the Zoom desktop client, and the Zoom web portal.

  • IP Phone devices listed in device list landing page
    The device list landing page is now listing phone devices to provide account owners and admins better visibility of the devices being managed. Now admins can view a complete list of all the devices attached to Zoom services, including Zoom IP Phone and Devices. This enables admins to perform tasks such as filtering on vendors, operating systems, etc. with a complete view across all devices.

Changes to existing features

• Co-host enabled by default for On-Premise users
  On-Premise users can use the co-host feature by default. Previously, this feature had to be enabled by Zoom.
• Adjustments to Attendee Count and Meeting Minutes in reports and Dashboard
  Starting April 1, 2022, Dashboard and reporting data for Attendee Count and Meeting Minutes is being adjusted. The definition of how attendees are counted is changing, and Zoom is addressing an issue where meeting minutes might have been under-reported for meetings with over 500 attendees:
  • Attendee Count: Measuring attendee count will be updated to ensure it is consistent across Account Reports and the Dashboard. This includes counting participants once when they enter the meeting, and excluding them when they join via failover (disconnect and reconnect or join the meeting via waiting room).
  • Meeting Minutes: More accurate meeting minute totals will be provided for meetings and webinars that are over 500 attendees. Due to this change, users might see a significant increase in their meeting minute values for Meeting Minutes, Top 10 Users by Meeting Minutes, and Usage by Meeting minutes within the Dashboard for meetings that are over 500 attendees.
  Account owners and admins will likely see an increase in meeting minutes and a decrease in attendee count, with no change in actual user behavior. This affects Business, Education, and Enterprise accounts.
  Note: This change does not require Zoom enablement, as previously communicated. It will take effect for the aforementioned account types on April 1, 2022.
• In-meeting chat disabled when a regulated user joins an internal E2EE meeting with archiving enabled
  When a regulated user joins an end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) meeting with archiving enabled, in-meeting chat is automatically disabled for all participants because the chat cannot be archived. All participants will receive a notification that in-meeting chat is disabled. Account owners and admins can override this setting by enabling Allow chat when a regulated user joins an internal end-to-end meeting in the Zoom web portal.
• Lock meeting/webinar topic settings available at the group level
  Account owners and admins can choose to always show “Zoom Meetings” or “Zoom Webinars” as the meeting or webinar topic for a group of users. Previously, these settings were only available at the account level.
• Hide profile pictures for panelists and attendees in webinars
  Account owners and admins can enable the Hide participant profile pictures in a meeting setting to restrict the use of profile pictures for panelists and attendees in a webinar. Hosts can toggle this setting as needed during a webinar through the Participants panel. This feature requires version 5.3.2 or higher. Previously, this setting only applied to meetings, but it now also applies to webinars when enabled.

New and enhanced features

    Account owners and admins can view and download all messages sent and received by users on the account in the Chat History report, including files, images, emoji reactions, animated GIFs, audio files, and code snippets. Threaded messages are also displayed in a grouped format (instead of the existing flattened and chronological format), for easier viewing and deletion.
  • Bulk update users’ email addresses
    Account owners and admins with proper role permissions for editing user information can bulk update users’ email addresses through CSV file import. This feature must be enabled by Zoom.
  • Support for sharing links to messages and channels in Zoom Chat
    Account owners and admins can allow users to copy links from Zoom Chat (deep linking) by enabling Share links to messages and channels in Zoom Chat. When enabled, a user can create shareable links to public channels or specific messages in the channel, and then share links within or outside of Zoom to open directly in Zoom Chat. Only users with existing access and those who belong to the same account with the channel admin, will be able to join and view referenced channels. This setting is available at the account and group level, and can be locked at either level.
  • Support for video messages in Zoom Chat
    Account owners and admins can allow users to send short video messages to others in direct messages or group conversations by enabling Video Message. Asynchronous video allows users the time to consider their responses and then record as needed to provide thoughtfully crafted responses. This setting is available at the account and group level, and can be locked at either level.
  • Show invitee list in Participants panel
    Account owners and admins can enable the Show invitee list in Participants panel setting that allows hosts, co-hosts, and alternative hosts to view a Not Joined section in the Participants panel of the meeting. This section lists the people who were invited to the meeting but have not yet joined, as well as their calendar response. This feature requires hosts and users to have the Calendar and Contacts Integration (Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar) configured in the user Profile. This setting is available at the account, group, and user levels, and can be locked at the account or group level. This feature requires version 5.9.6 or higher. This feature was initially available to limited account types, and now is available to all account types.
  • Allow host/co-host to rename participants in the waiting room
    Account owners and admins can allow hosts and co-hosts to rename participants while they’re in the waiting room. This setting is available at the account, group, and user level; and can be locked at the account or group level. This feature requires version 5.10.0 or higher.
  • Show meeting encryption type in Dashboard
    Account owners and admins can view detailed encryption status in Dashboard that is at parity with the status shown in the meeting client. They can see if a meeting used enhanced encryption, end-to-end encryption (E2EE), or if there were any exceptions to encryption.
  • Enable/disable Webinar Session Branding
    Account owners and admins can enable or disable Webinar - Session Branding, which allows hosts to visually customize their webinar sessions.

  • Support for hiding sensitive content in push notifications
    Account owners and admins can enable the setting Hide Push Notification Content to hide sensitive content, such as the name of an upcoming meeting or chat content, from displaying in push notifications on both iOS and Android devices. This setting is available at the account level.
  • Allow live streaming to Twitch
    Account owners and admins can allow hosts to live stream their meeting or webinar to Twitch directly, rather than manually configuring the stream as a custom live-streaming service. This setting is available at the account, group, and user level; and can be locked at the account or group level.
  • Enable/disable webinar reactions
    Account owners and admins can enable or disable the use of webinar reactions. If enabled, hosts can control when attendees and panelists can use reactions in webinars, similar to reactions in meetings. The stream of submitted reactions are displayed in the bottom-right corner of the main webinar window, visible to the host, panelists, and attendees. This setting is available at the account, group, and user level; and can be locked at the account or group level. This feature requires version 5.9.6 or higher to be able to send and see reactions.
  • Enable/disable Webinar Backstage
    Account owners and admins can allow hosts to enable webinars with Backstage access. The webinar host and other panelists can move between the backstage area, which is not visible or heard by attendees, and the mainstage, which is visible to and heard by attendees. Panelists in the backstage can still hear and view the mainstage to keep an eye on the presentation and know when to rejoin. This feature requires version 5.10.0 or higher and the host must have a Zoom Events license. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend server update currently scheduled for April 17, 2022.
• User features
  • Webinar Session branding
    If enabled by an account owner or admin, hosts can customize their webinar session’s appearance by uploading a wallpaper image behind the video tiles, setting a virtual background, and applying name tags to panelists.

  • Schedule a recurring meeting with a saved Breakout Room assignment
    When a host saves a breakout room configuration and participant assignments during a Zoom meeting, they can select the saved breakout room assignment they want to use when scheduling a recurring meeting in the web portal. This is limited to 10 saved configurations per account/user.
  • Support for signing in with Apple ID on all platforms
    Users can sign in with their Apple ID on the Zoom desktop client, mobile app, and web portal. This setting is enabled by default, but account owners and admins can disable the Allow users to sign in with Apple ID setting to prevent users from signing in with this method.
• Integration features
  • Support for third-party cloud storage services (SharePoint and Box)
    Account owners and admins can choose SharePoint or Box as the default file storage option for newly created channels. This setting is available at the account level. This feature requires version 5.10.0 or higher and must be enabled by Zoom.

• User features
  • Error code shown for required updates
    An error code is displayed on the Update Required prompt when users try to join a meeting that has features enabled that are incompatible with their current, older version. For example, if the host has enabled 2-way chat in the waiting room, which requires a minimum version of 5.8.0, users see an error code along with the Update Required prompt, which can help assist with troubleshooting. There is no change to functionality, only the addition of an error code within the prompt.
  • UI description updated for the Disable desktop screen sharing for meetings you host setting
    In the Zoom web portal, the description for the Disable desktop screen sharing for meetings you host setting was updated to provide clarity that this option may not be applicable to users joining via Web clients. This feature is not supported in Web clients due to browser restrictions. There are no changes to functionality.
  • New tab opens when starting a meeting or webinar from the web portal

    Account owners and admins can now grant access to Zoom personnel to access specific content. For example, when working with Zoom on a technical issue, account owners and admins can grant limited access to specific content like chat and recordings to Zoom personnel to assist with troubleshooting. Approval allows authorized personnel at Zoom with appropriate permissions to view specified content for a set period of time. Once the time period expires, access is revoked.

    Account owners and admins can choose to reset any virtual background, selected by the admin, for users after any Zoom meeting. When a user changes their pre-approved virtual background for a specific meeting, their background will automatically reset back to the default after the meeting. This setting is available at the account and group levels, and can be locked at either level.
  • Enhancements to attendee authentication for registered meetings and webinars
    Account owners and admins can configure a new authentication option for webinar and meetings registrants: Sign into Zoom with invited email. This option allows for hosts to require attendees to be signed-in to the Zoom account associated with the email they registered to join this session with.

These operations will send email notifications to admins (at most one email per day). This feature requires the Zoom desktop client, version 5.4.0 or higher.

  • Allow busy call queue members to receive calls
    Account owners and admins can allow call queue members to receive inbound call queue calls even if they are on a call. This is disabled by default, meaning the call queue will skip members who are busy on a call. This feature requires the Zoom desktop client, version 5.4.0 or higher.
  • Business/closed hours and call handling settings for Zoom Rooms and common area phones
    Account owners and admins can set business/closed hours for Zoom Rooms with a phone license and common area phones. They can also set ring duration and call handling settings. Call handling settings for common area phones have moved from the Profile tab to the Settings tab as part of this enhancement.

    Account owners and admins can set up speed dial and busy lamp field (BLF) on common area phones that support these features.

    Users who are members of multiple call queues can opt out of specific call queues to disable call notifications from those call queues.
  • Assign common area phone as a delegate
    Users can assign a common area phone to make and receive calls on their behalf (call delegation).
  • Hide outbound caller ID by default
    Users can set their default outbound caller ID to be hidden. Hiding the outbound caller ID may not work for certain countries or regions.
  • Zoom Phone details on profile page
    Users can view the following details on their profile page: company numbers, direct numbers, extension, and Zoom Phone license type.
  • Enable phone screen lock
    Users can display a soft key on supported desk phones to lock their desk phone’s screen, preventing others from using their desk phone. Users can enter their PIN to unlock the screen. This feature is not supported on common area phones.

New and enhanced features

• Setting to request permission to unmute
  Account owners and admins can now enable a setting to request permission to unmute, allowing the host to request permission to unmute meeting participants and webinar panelists. Permissions, once given, will apply in all meetings scheduled by the same person. This setting is available at the account, group or user level and can be locked at the account or group level. This requires client 5.2.0, which is planned for release in early August.

August 16, 2020

New and enhanced features

• General availability
  Zoom Phone is available in 25 more countries.
• Expanded calling to more destinations
  Account owners and admins can enable calling to more destinations. Certain destinations may require admins to contact support to enable. They can also allow calling to “high-risk” prefixes that are otherwise blocked by default. This feature can be enabled by Zoom if you have a legitimate reason to call these destinations.
• Role management
  Account owners and admins can use the role management feature to create Zoom Phone roles and edit each role to control Zoom Phone privileges. For example, they can customize a call queue admin role with privileges to certain settings of specific call queue(s).This enhancement replaces the site admin, call queue manager, and auto receptionist operator roles that could be assigned while customizing the site, call queue, or auto receptionist.
• Support for variable-length site codes and extensions
  Account owners and admins can set variable-length site codes and extensions at the site level. For example, site A with site code 10 and extensions that are 4-digits long in the range of 1000 to 1999; and site B with site code 5 and extensions that are 5-digits long in the range of 20000 to 30000.
• Enhancement to directory backup routing rules
  Account owners and admin can set internal directory routing rules. For example, if the account has variable-length site codes and extensions as stated in the previous example, a rule can prepend site code 5 if a user dials a 5-digit number beginning with 2. This allows users in another site to call users in site B without dialing the site code.
• Control access to personal audio library
  Account owners and admins can control phone users' access to their personal audio library, which is used to change their voicemail greeting and hold music. This new policy setting can be changed at the site level. By default, phone users’ personal audio library is enabled. If disabled, all users in the site will use the site’s default audio.
• Set default custom audio
  Account owners and site admins can set default voicemail greeting, message greeting, hold music, and audio while connecting. These defaults can be set at the site level.
• More options for call queues’ max wait time
  Account owners and admins can set the max wait time to 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, or 45 seconds.

    When account owners and admins set a call queue as an internal safety response team, they will be prompted to change business hours and overflow settings for the associated call queue. This call queue will be labelled as an internal safety response team and some settings will be restricted when emergency calls are routed to the call queue.
  • Control privileges for call queue managers
    Account owners and admins can control if call queue managers can enable or view automatic recordings for the call queue. They can also control if managers can grant access for phone users to view the call queue’s recordings
  • Set default language of audio prompts
    Account owners and admins can set the default language of audio prompts for call queues and auto receptionists. This overrides the site-level setting.

    Account owners and admins can disable the announcement that plays before an ad hoc recording is started. The announcement is enabled by default. They can change this policy setting at the phone, site, or account (single site) level.

Changes to existing features 

• Removing same domain matching for paid accounts with multiple licenses
  Paid accounts with multiple licenses that share the same domain will no longer be able to see each other under All Contacts (formerly Company Directory) in the Contacts tab. The option to “show contacts in the same domain” in IM Management Settings is completely removed for all customers. Additionally, the in-meeting ‘Contacts’ tab will only display users with the same domain on different account that they have chatted with before this change. Users can still search for these contacts by their full name. To continue chatting or displaying contacts who they haven’t previously chatted with, they can add them as external contacts.
• Updated recording password settings
  The setting Require password to access shared cloud recordings will be enabled for all accounts. Cloud recordings will require a complex password of at least 8 characters, with at least 1 digit, 1 letter, and 1 special character. 
• Enforce the setting “Require password for participants joining by phone” if settings are locked
  The setting “Require password for participants joining by phone” will be on and locked if the following three settings for passwords “Require a password when scheduling new meetings”, “Require a password for meetings which have already been scheduled”, and “Require password for participants joining by phone” are locked and enabled.
• Assign host within the account when the host leaves the meeting
  When the host leaves the meeting, the user automatically assigned host control will be another user on the same account. 
• Renaming chat encryption to Advanced Chat Encryption
  Zoom has renamed our End-to-End Chat Encryption to Advanced Chat Encryption to better align terminology with industry standards.

  • Security icon in host’s meeting controls
    The meeting host will now have a Security icon in their meeting controls, which combines all of Zoom’s existing in-meeting security controls into one place. This includes locking the meeting, enabling Waiting Room, and more. Users can also now enable Waiting Room in a meeting, even if the feature was turned off before the start of the meeting.

• • Updated Waiting Room and password settings for Basic and single licensed Pro accounts
    The Waiting Room feature and require a password for Personal Meeting ID (PMI) will be enabled for all Basic users and Pro accounts with a single license, including K-12 education accounts who have the 40-minute limit temporarily waived. The new password requirements apply to both meetings and webinars. Learn more. 
  • Remove contacts in the same domain for free accounts and single licensed Pro users with unmanaged domain
    For free accounts and Pro users with a single license and an unmanaged domain, Zoom is removing showing contacts with the same domain. Consequently, for these Pro users with a single license and an unmanaged domain, Zoom will completely remove the option “show contacts in the same domain” under the Company Contacts settings on their IM Management page.
