Changes to existing features

• Enhancements to user licensing and assignments in User Management 
  In order to deliver more flexibility when provisioning users, Zoom no longer requires admins to choose a user type when adding users to their account. Admins only need to choose to assign purchased licenses to users, or if a purchased license is not assigned, assign the right level of permissions such as Zoom Meetings Basic or unassign the user entirely to prevent them from scheduling or hosting meetings (not available for all account types). This change began rolling out in June 2024 and is expected to roll out to all customers in August 2024. When these changes are introduced to your account, a banner will appear in the Zoom web portal informing you of this change.

New and enhanced features

• Host features
  • Enabled Remind users to watch the live stream setting by default and new Live streaming tab for meetings and webinars 
    The Remind users to watch the live stream setting, which determines whether the livestream link is provided to attendees when a meeting or webinar is full, is set to ON by default. This is so attendees who try to join when the webinar or meeting is full, will be redirected to the live stream. This change applies to all newly scheduled meetings and webinars. For existing webinars, the setting will remain as it was before - typically OFF unless the host had previously enabled it. This setting was not available for meetings before, so it will also remain OFF for any already scheduled meetings. The Remind users to watch the live stream setting is available at the account, group, and user level settings. Additionally, when scheduling a meeting or webinar, hosts will have a dedicated tab to configure Live streaming. Using the new Live streaming tab, hosts can learn more about live streaming and set up a custom live streaming configuration. This ensures hosts are prepared to start live streaming with just a few clicks during a webinar.
  • Support single-use webinars of up to 1 million participants 
    Users can purchase a single-use webinar license for a webinar with up to 1 million participants. This option provides the flexibility to choose a plan that suits their event needs without any long-term commitments. The single-use license is applicable for a minimum of 10,000 attendees and will expire 3 months from the date of purchase.

August 5, 2024

New and enhanced features

• General features
  • Introducing Zoom Docs
    Zoom Docs allows users to collaborate and track projects easily and seamlessly. Users can draft, organize, and share materials and documents whether they are in a meeting or not. To make the most of their meetings, users can transform past and present meetings into actionable documents, wikis, and projects using Meeting AI templates. Zoom's AI Companion features further enhance efficiency by generating and translating content. While creating materials, users have access to basic editing tools, block actions, and various content types that can be added or embedded. In addition, documents can be shared directly with other users or through Team Chat channels. The feature can be enabled or disabled at the account or group level.
      
• Meeting features
  • Enhanced AI Companion Results with OCR and Chat Messages
    Zoom will be enhancing AI Companion results by incorporating screen shared content via optical character recognition (OCR) and in-meeting chat messages. This additional context allows AI Companion to create more accurate, reliable, and complete results. Administrators can manage these settings in Account Settings under the AI Companion tab in the web portal.
  • Allow meeting hosts to retain and access meeting transcripts
    Administrators can choose to have meeting transcripts generated by Meeting Summary with AI Companion saved. Once saved, they are accessible by meeting hosts and can be downloaded as a VTT file from the list of available transcripts. These saved transcripts cannot be shared directly through Zoom. Hosts can also generate Zoom Docs from these meeting transcripts with Docs content generation and revision with AI Companion.

July 22, 2024

New and enhanced features

• Admin features
  • Customer Managed Key: Ability to use new key if ever necessary 
    CMK has always supported Key Management Systems (KMS) key rotation for new data. If a customer's key needs to be discontinued and a new key used instead, customers can now submit a support request that their data keys get decrypted and re-encrypted with the new KMS key before disconnecting from the old key/KMS. With this enhancement, account owners and admins can seamlessly migrate their keys or Key Management Systems (KMS) without losing access to existing encrypted data, allowing more flexibility to change keys or providers, enhancing security, and mitigating risks.
  • Zoom AI Companion universal toggle for easy enablement
    Account owners and admins of Zoom Workplace Pro accounts can enable several AI Companion features with a single click within the Workplace app and Web Portal settings. The single AI Companion admin setting will be available within the Workplace desktop app settings and Zoom Web Portal account settings. Users in the account still will be in control of when AI Companion gets used.
  • Ability to configure separate enforced logout policy between different sign-in methods and device types 
    Account owners and admins can configure settings based on different sign-in methods and device types. The enhanced Security policy is renamed/organized and provides options to prevent automatic sign-out of Home and Personal Zoom Room devices and Zoom Phone Appliances.
    When enabled, the following devices will not automatically sign out according to user desktop client settings. They will remain signed-in until manually signed out.
  • Customizable retention period and deletion notifications for survey and poll responses 
    Account owners and admins can define a custom retention period for survey and poll responses, ranging from 1 day to 2 years. The default retention period is 18 months. Additionally, survey or poll owners are notified 15 days before the results are automatically deleted.
  • Support meeting Q&A settings configuration for admins
    Account owners and admins can preset meetings' default Q&A settings at the account, group, and user levels, and lock the ability for users within their account to enable anonymous questions.

    Account owners and admins can enable or disable the ability of users within their account to seamlessly synchronize their presence from Zoom to Microsoft, maintaining a consistent representation across both platforms.
      
• User features
  • Limit result size in survey result view
    Survey owners can limit the number of results displayed in the survey result view to improve loading times. The overview page displays a maximum of 50,000 results, the launch history page displays a maximum of 100 results, and individual responses are limited to 1,000 results. Survey owners can also filter the launch history by date and time.
  • Ability to synchronize presence from Zoom to Microsoft
    If enabled by the account owners or admins, users can seamlessly synchronize their presence from Zoom to Microsoft, maintaining a consistent representation across both platforms.Users can trigger manual presence changes through their Zoom app. Actions such as making a call or joining a Zoom Meeting will also change a user's presence which will then be pushed and reflected in Microsoft 365 with this capability enabled.

July 1, 2024

New and enhanced features

• User features
  • Enhanced automated captioning and translated caption support for Portuguese 
    Zoom is launching additional support for Portuguese to serve both European and Brazilian dialects. To better cater to the distinct linguistic needs of users, the Portuguese language options within the platform have been differentiated to specifically address this. Users can select from two distinct language options: Portuguese (Brazil) and Portuguese (Portugal). This update ensures a more accurate and localized experience for speakers of both dialects.There will be no change to automated captions and the selection of speaking language.
      

June 17, 2024

Changes to existing features

• Change local recordings label to computer recordings for clarity 
  Zoom is updating the labeling of recording options, from Local Recordings to Computer Recordings , to clearly differentiate between recordings stored on a user's computer and those stored in Zoom cloud. This change aims to improve clarity and simplify the selection of recording options across Zoom's app and web settings, enhancing the overall user experience with Zoom's recording features. Changes to published Zoom support articles that mention local recording will be gradually updated to reflect the new label.
• Enhancements to default survey selection
  Users can select a default survey using a modal pop-up component, providing a more intuitive way to choose surveys. Additionally, account owners and admins can set a default survey for the entire account through this modal pop-up component. The modal pop-up component replaces the previous dropdown menu, offering an enhanced user experience when configuring default survey settings.

New and enhanced features

• Admin features
  • Don't Show This Again option for meeting disclaimer prompts: Admin control 
    Account owners and admins can manage the Don't show this again settings for users within their organization. The Don't show this again option is for common in-meeting disclaimer prompts: Meeting recording (including Meeting recording shared with Zoom Revenue Accelerator), AI Companion, Livestreaming, and durable captions. If enabled, this feature allows users to avoid repeated prompts in future internal meetings after acknowledging them once.
  • Customer Managed Key fallback capabilities for enhanced data security 
    Account owners and admins can enable the Automatic fallback to Zoom's key settings from the Web portal to address data loss concerns when the key broker service is unavailable. This enhancement allows Zoom services to utilize a Zoom-provided fallback key if the customer's key cannot be accessed, ensuring recordings can still be securely stored. Administrators will be notified based on new rules in the "Fallback Status" notification module, and new customers will have the fallback feature enabled by default, with warnings provided if they choose to disable it due to potential data loss risks. Additionally, cloud meeting recordings will default to local recording if a key cannot be obtained, offering a robust fallback solution.
  • Customer Managed Key: Enhanced license management control 
    Account owners and admins can enable or disable the Customer Managed Key (CMK) at the account and group levels before configuring keys and assets. This enhancement allows admins to conduct phased rollouts and adjust license provisioning to meet their deployment needs. Previously, purchasing Zoom One Plus Enterprise Plus (ZOE+) automatically enabled CMK for the entire account.
  • Zoom Mail domain onboarding wizard
    Account owners and admins can use the mail domain onboarding wizard, which provides clear steps to set up their first domain and activate the first user.
  • Zoom Mail: set domain-level encryption preferences
    Account owners and admins can select if a specific domain will be configured to use one of the following end-to-end encryption modes by default: mandatory encryption, encryption by default (users can choose in the client), or no encryption by default (users can choose in the client). End-to-end encryption capability will still depend on a variety of factors, such as whether the sender and receiver have already generated encryption keys, whether they are running the latest Zoom client version, as well as the configuration of user or account level settings. The user interface will indicate whether the email a user is about to send will be end-to-end encrypted or not.
  • New admin control to disable image upload for surveys
    Account owners and admins can disable image upload for surveys. This setting is located in the image banner settings and applies to all surveys created within the account. When disabled, users will not be able to include images in their survey questions or responses. This setting is available at the account and group levels.
  • Display individual real-time poll responses as overlays on video tiles in Zoom Rooms 
    Account owners and admins can enable or disable the poll response overlay feature in the Zoom Rooms web portal. Meeting hosts can enable or disable the overlay during a meeting from the Zoom Rooms controller. When enabled, individual poll responses are displayed as an overlay on each participant's video tile, allowing the Zoom Room to display the poll result after the poll is concluded.
        
• User features
  • Don't Show This Again option for meeting disclaimer prompts 
    Zoom introduces a Don't show this again option for common in-meeting disclaimer prompts: Meeting recording (including Meeting recording shared with Zoom Revenue Accelerator), AI Companion, Livestreaming, and durable captions. If enabled, this feature allows users to avoid repeated prompts in future internal meetings after acknowledging them once. This feature only affects internal meetings and will not appear for disclaimers customized by the account owners or admins.
  • Ability to adjust webinar resources directly during scheduling 
    From the Zoom Web portal, webinar host can manage and adjust the status of webinar resources directly during the scheduling process. This feature allows hosts to enable or disable specific items as needed before the webinar begins.
  • Pie chart visualization for polls and surveys

  • Provide shortened URLs for sharing survey links
    Survey owners can generate a tiny URL when sharing the respondent link for their surveys. When users choose to share their surveys, they can select the option to create a shortened version of the survey URL. This streamlined approach simplifies the process of sharing survey links across different platforms and mediums.
  • Edit polls from Team Chat with Zoom web portal access
    Poll owners can edit their polls from the web portal by clicking the Edit button in the Zoom Team Chat poll menu. A new Edit button is added to the Team Chat poll menu, allowing poll owners to access the web portal and make changes to their existing polls. This enhancement provides greater flexibility and poll management directly from the Team Chat interface.
        
• Zoom Phone Appliances
  • Enhancements to Zoom Phone Appliance device monitoring with alerts and notifications 
    Account owners and admins can set up alerts and notifications to monitor the status of Zoom Phone Appliance (ZPA) devices. New rules can be created for scenarios like ZPA devices going offline or online, or when the rate of offline ZPA devices at a site exceeds a certain threshold. The alerts can be configured to target specific ZPA devices, groups, or accounts. This feature informs admins about potential issues with ZPA devices.

  • Create a custom disclaimer when AI Companion is enabled in meetings
    Account owners and admins can customize a disclaimer that will appear when AI Companion features are enabled in a meeting or when an AI Companion feature is set to auto-start on the meeting.

Admins can choose to show this disclaimer for internal and/or external participants, preview how it will appear to meeting participants, and create language-specific disclaimers. The custom disclaimer setting is available at the account and group levels, and can be locked at the account level. If smart recording is also enabled, the custom AI Companion disclaimer will override any recording disclaimers. This setting is off by default and is available to Enterprise accounts.

This feature will be rolling out to accounts over the next months.

  • Customer test accounts
    Account owners and admins can manage a test account, which is a separate account to test configuration items such as new feature enablement, without impacting production users, settings, or behavior. Customer test accounts include 10% of the production license quantity and are a copy of a production account’s base licensing configuration. This feature is available to Zoom One Business Plus, Zoom One Enterprise Essentials, Zoom One Enterprise Plus, Zoom One for Education Enterprise Essentials, and Zoom One for Education Enterprise Plus accounts, and must be provisioned through their dedicated Zoom Account Executive. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend server update currently scheduled for March 25, 2024.
  • Dynamic emoji reactions for video tiles: Admin control
    Admins can control the use of new, more dynamic meeting reactions that appear and float up and around the user in their video tile, either in gallery or speaker views.

  • Customized waiting room for Webinars
    Hosts can customize the waiting room experience for webinars, allowing customization of the image, text, and other waiting room assets that attendees see before joining each session and providing a more engaging and branded joining experience for attendees. These custom assets can be saved to webinar templates for reuse. Account admins can set defaults for the account, as well as control a sub-setting that allows users to customize their webinar waiting rooms with their own uploaded image or video. This feature and its associated backend architecture will be rolling out to accounts over the next months.
  • Q&A upvotes included in Q&A report
    If upvoting is allowed for Q&A and users indeed upvote submitted questions, the count of upvotes for each question will be included in the Q&A reports available afterwards. This will be available immediately for meeting reports.

• Administrator features
  • Setting for sharing AI Companion Meeting Summary by email
    Account owners and admins can choose whether or not to include the full Meeting Summary text in the email that is sent to users post-meeting once the summary is generated. When disabled, users will receive only an email notification that the summary is ready, along with a URL for access. They will be prompted to sign into the web portal to view the summary content. This setting is available at the account, group, and user levels and is enabled by default.
  • Track email activity
    Account owners and admins can search for emails and view the emails’ associated activity.
  • Domain-level Email Sending Control
    Admins can now exert precise control over email communication within the domain by adjusting sending limits and the maximum number of recipients. This enhancement empowers account administrators to customize sending limits based on user roles, such as granting higher limits for groups like sales and marketing, ensuring efficient and tailored email communication. Users exceeding the set limits will receive clear error messages, and after a 24-hour period, they can refresh their quota for uninterrupted sending.
  • All screens mode: Admin control
    All screens mode allows the host to request all participants share their screen to present the host with a scrollable side-by-side view of the participants and their shared desktop(s).

  • Auto-move to/from Waiting Room: Admin control
    Account owners and admins can automatically move participants to the Waiting Room if the host or alternative host leaves.

These settings are available at the account level, group, and user levels.
  • ZDM enhanced client reporting mechanism
    Account owners and admins can leverage the enhanced client reporting mechanism in Zoom Device Management (ZDM). This mechanism reports a device's enrollment status, including Registered, Waiting to be Registered, and Device is Online but Failed to Register. Admins can choose the behavior for devices that fail to register: Option 1 disables the Zoom client on such devices, while Option 2, by default, does nothing. A GPO/MSI policy, DisableZoomIfNotZDMManaged, is available for the Zoom app to control the behavior of devices that fail to register. Previously, when registration/enrollment failed, customers encountered no error or report; the failure occurred silently.
  • View Webinar Q&A submissions from before joining
    Account admins can allow webinar attendees to view Q&A submissions from other attendees, even if those submissions were from before they joined the webinar. This feature must be enabled by Zoom, and when enabled, applies to all webinars on the account and requires all hosts and attendees to join with Zoom app version 5.17.0 or higher. Those with a lower app version can still join the webinar, but will neither be able to see the Q&A option on their control toolbar nor participate in Q&A.

Additionally, admins can specify who in the group chat or channel can add external users, selecting from everyone in the channel (including external users, if they exist), only internal users, or only account admins and owners. This only affects group chats and channels, and has no effect on 1:1 chats or continuous meeting chats. Changes to these account-level settings will affect the corresponding channel level settings, both when viewed in the Zoom app by the channel owner or when viewed through Channel Management in the web portal by the account owner/admin.External users already in group chats and channels when settings become more restrictive will remain in the channel, but going forward, the new settings will be followed.

By enabling these settings admins and users are giving Zoom permission to use usage data either at the account or user level to provide better, targeted marketing and recommendations of Zoom products and services.

    • Achieve more comprehensive compliance with Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) requirements, as the search index data is now separated and safeguarded using the customer’s key.
    • Seamlessly integrate key configuration with CMK for unified administration.

  • Control visibility of Join from Room option for upcoming meetings
    Admins and users can choose to disable the Join from Room option for upcoming meetings shown on the Zoom app. This setting is enabled by default to maintain the preexisting user experience.

If disabled by admins, this feature will be automatically disabled for all users, with no option to enable it themselves.

Stared polls will be prominently displayed at the top of the library for Meetings, Webinars, and Team Chat, providing a convenient and efficient user experience.
  • Assigning and deleting Polls
    Recent changes to the Survey & Polls user experiences in Zoom resulted in users being unable to assign specific Polls to meeting or webinar instances, impacting the host's ability to filter Polls, particularly in co-host scenarios. Additionally, users lost the capability to delete old polls. In the upcoming enhancement, users will regain the ability to both delete old polls and easily filter selected Polls to a meeting or webinar instance.

  • 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.

    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 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 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.
  • Additional language support for cloud recording audio transcripts 
    The audio transcripts generated from cloud recordings support 19 additional languages, allowing the host to adjust the speaking language and have more accurate transcriptions generated.

• Smart Recording with AI Companion in-meeting enablement
  Additional changes are being made to the Smart Recording feature to better align it under the AI Companion feature suite.

If the feature is locked the host can send a request to the admin to request to enable this feature. If the host is not an admin, an email request will be sent by Zoom to account admins for their consideration on whether to enable it. Similar to other AI Companion features, admins can control the visibility of this in-meeting enablement option through web settings at the account level.

  • Ability to authenticate with the KeyBroker role in the CMK
    Account owners and admins can authenticate with the KeyBroker role in the CMK (Customer Managed Keys) AWS account. This change provides customers with the choice of granting key access at either the root or role level and is a customer-facing feature with no impact on data handling, architecture, or security features in Zoom. Admins can either grant key access to the Zoom key broker as arn:aws:iam::409910850980:root or alternatively specify arn:aws:iam::409910850980:role/KeyBroker in their key policy file.

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.
  • Customer Managed Key (CMK) fallback
    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.

  • Export webinar panelist list
    Licensed webinar hosts can export a list of invited panelists and interpreters for their scheduled webinar. This export includes each panelist’s email address and join URL. This feature is useful when a user other than the host, such as someone providing technical support during the session, needs to help panelists join the webinar.
  • Webinar resources enhancement: Documents  
    In addition to providing links to webinar attendees, webinar hosts can also upload files for attendees to download and view during the live session. 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.

    The Client Version reporting in the Zoom Dashboard has several updates. It shows data for every device that a user signs in to and summarizes data based on whether the device needs an update with respect to the Zoom minimum supported version. It shows a stacked bar chart of the different client versions users are on from oldest to newest. It also shows the percentage of joins on clients requiring updates versus clients that do not require updates.
  • Enhancements to the Failed PSTN Connection report
    Account owners and admins will get a report on failed PSTN connections and can search by multiple criteria: host email, phone number, error code, or meeting ID.

Additionally, account owners and admins can click the meeting ID to view the dashboard page for that meeting.

Changes to existing features

• Support for bandwidth limit management
  The Limit Network bandwidth feature is available to all paid accounts, and is disabled by default. Account owners and admins can enable it to set the appropriate maximum bandwidth for devices according to their network environments. Previously, this feature required Zoom enablement.
• Remove dependency on Contacts setting controlling group-level chat settings
  A setting on the Contacts page in the web portal is being decoupled from the Zoom Chat group-level settings. Previously, when the Contacts setting List all account users under ‘All Contacts’ was enabled, group-level Zoom Chat settings were ignored and all users followed the account-level settings. For accounts with this setting enabled (and therefore not using group-level chat settings), most of their settings have been locked at the account level to preserve existing behavior when the dependency is removed. Account owners and admins can view changes reflected in the Operation Logs. This update will slowly roll out to customers over the following month.

New and enhanced features

• Administrator features
  • Enhancements to Meeting quality score and network alerts on Dashboard
    In Dashboard, accounts have access to view the meeting quality score and network alerts, as well as set custom thresholds for network alerts. Previously, admins had to choose between having customized quality settings or an overall quality score assigned to their meeting in the Zoom web portal. In Dashboard, admins have access to both the Meeting and Webinar Quality and Meetings and Webinars Issues Trend charts.
  • Support for searching by user in Dashboard
    Account owners and admins can search by user in Dashboard to view all meetings or webinars (live or past) that a user has joined or hosted. Previously, you could only search by who hosted the meeting or webinar.
  • Support up to 25 custom languages for interpretation
    Account owners and admins can allow users to add up to 25 custom languages for interpretation when scheduling a meeting or webinar. This option is only available if the Enable language interpretation by default option is selected. It’s available at the account, group, and user levels; and can be locked at the account or group level. This enhancement must be enabled by Zoom and requires client version 5.11.2 or higher. Previously, up to 5 custom languages were supported.
  • Support for multi-language and translated captions in webinars
    Account owners and admins can enable Translated Captions for webinars, which allows users to enable automated translated captions in language pairs in webinars. Additionally, automated captions in Webinars support more languages in addition to English, which has been the only supported language thus far. These settings are available at the account, group, and user levels. Previously, these features were only available for meetings. Translated Captions are currently only available for Zoom One Business Plus and Zoom One Enterprise Plus accounts.
  • Enhancements for sharing cloud recordings
    There are several enhancements to improve the experience of sharing cloud recordings. Account owners and admins can allow sharing of recordings with specific users or meeting invites in addition to the admin’s selected authentication options in the web portal; this setting is available at the account, group, and user level. These enhancements allow users with scheduling privilege to access and manage cloud recordings for their scheduled meeting. Additionally, a recording link will be generated while the video is processing, allowing users to share the recording link.
  • Broadcast voice to all breakout rooms
    Account owners and admins can allow hosts to broadcast their microphone audio to all breakout rooms in a meeting. Previously, only device audio could be shared to breakout rooms from the main session.
  • Only allow internal users to chat in meetings or webinars
    Account owners and admins can choose to only allow internal users in the account to use in-meeting/webinar chat. This applies regardless of whether the meeting or webinar is hosted by a regulated user’s organization or an external organization.
  • Support for archiving in-meeting chat for regulated users on external meetings
    Account owners and admins can require their regulated users' in-meeting chat conversations to be archived when they join Zoom meetings hosted by an external organization. When enabled, users in the meeting are shown a disclaimer that archiving is on. This feature must be enabled by Zoom.
        
• Integration features
  • Support for calendar event bi-directional syncing
    Account owners and admins can enable bi-directional syncing to and from Google and Outlook calendars. This allows Zoom events created or updated on Zoom or external calendars to stay automatically synced across all integrated platforms. This setting is available at the account, group, and user levels. This feature only supports updates made to an individual meeting (non-recurring) or an entire series.
        
• Developer features
  • Set the minimum Zoom SDK version
    Account owners and admins can enable and specify a different set of minimum versions for Zoom Meeting SDK apps. Once the SDK minimum version option is enabled, account owners and admins can select a minimum version, uniquely for each SDK platform. This setting is available at the account level.

As part of the necessary interface changes to support the new languages, the in-meeting buttons and interface for manual captioning will also be adjusted. Users can adjust which languages are available in the meeting through user-level web settings. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is rolling out to different groups of customers over the next month.

  The Cannot contain consecutive characters password requirement was moved from the Enhanced Password Requirement list to the Basic Password Requirement list in account security settings. This requirement is mandatory and selected by default; users must create a password that doesn’t contain consecutive characters.
• Webinar chat settings separating from meeting chat settings
  Account owners and admins can enable or disable in-webinar chat in the Zoom web portal, separately from in-meeting chat. Previously, settings for in-meeting and in-webinar chat were combined and controlled together. This setting also includes the defaults for whom panelists and attendees can chat with, with the default for whom attendees can chat being changed to No One. We recommend Webinar users check their defaults to ensure chat is allowed as desired, while keeping in mind that these permissions can be adjusted during a live webinar as well.

New and enhanced features

  • Prevent hosts from uploading images for advanced polls and quizzes
    Account owners and admins can prevent hosts from uploading images in questions on advanced polls and quizzes in meetings and/or webinars. This setting option is available at the account, group, and user levels; and can be locked at the account or group level.
  • Prevent external users from saving in-meeting/webinar chats
    Account owners and admins can choose to only allow users in their account to save chats from meetings and/or webinars. This option is available at the account, group, and user levels, and can be locked at the account or group level. This feature requires client version 5.11.3 or higher.
  • Admin meeting templates
    Account owners and admins can enable and create advanced meeting templates that apply user-level settings, such as who can share and allow removed participants to rejoin, to meetings. This setting can be enabled at the account, group, and user levels. Once enabled, an admin must create templates and assign them to groups or users for use. If enabled for users, they will have access to the templates when scheduling a meeting. This feature is available to Business and Enterprise accounts.

Features can be restricted by the administrator either for external meetings only or all meetings the user joins as required. This feature must be enabled by Zoom for non-enterprise accounts.

    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. With Zoom Whiteboard, you can brainstorm and collaborate on a persistent, expandable, digital canvas. Manage, share, edit, and duplicate Whiteboards directly from the Zoom web portal, for access to Zoom Whiteboard anywhere.

  • 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.

This enables admins to perform tasks such as filtering on vendors, operating systems, etc. with a complete view across all devices. Admins will need viewing permissions for both Zoom Rooms and Zoom Phones to see the complete list.

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 allow users to select an avatar to represent themselves during meetings. This setting is available at the account, group, and user level; and can be locked at the account or group level. This feature requires 5.10.0 or higher.
  • Enhancements to Chat History report
    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. This feature requires version 5.10.0 or higher to see branding. Panelists that join with a lower version will not have access to the virtual background or name tag.
  • 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)

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.

  • 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. If trying to join without being signed-in or signed-in with the wrong account, they will be notified and given the option to sign-in or switch account.

These controls help preserve confidential information from being exchanged between unauthorized users. This feature needs to be enabled by Zoom.

For example, if a school authenticates meeting participants against their school IDP, they can create an exception to allow a guest lecturer to join the meeting. This feature can be enabled at account or group level.

New and enhanced features

• Zoom SSO certificate rotation
  In keeping up with standard industry practices, Zoom is retiring its current single sign-on (SSO) certificate ahead of its expiration on Friday, March 26. To avoid service disruption, we will publish a new SSO certificate beginning the week of Monday, February 22. No action is required for accounts using an identity provider (IDP) and/or configuration which supports dynamic metadata refresh, as the account’s IDP will automatically download the latest Zoom certificate and rotate it into the account’s configuration. For accounts with automatic rotation disabled or their IDP does not support automatic certificate rotation, admins can begin the certificate rotation process by selecting the new certificate in the Zoom web portal (Admin > Advanced > Single Sign On settings).
