Release notes for September 18, 2023
Changes to existing features
- User requests for enabling Team Chat Compose and Thread Summary with Zoom AI Companion
Paid users on eligible paid plans (may not be available for select verticals and regional customers) may be able to see the Zoom AI Companion chat compose and thread summary options within the Team Chat UI, even if the account admin has not enabled it. If these options are visible but not enabled, users can request admin enablement. Account admins can control the visibility of these enablement options through web settings. By default, these features will be visible to users in Team Chat. - Enhancement to push notification prompt
The enhanced push notification prompt emphasizes that if a user chooses to request a One Time Password (OTP) to continue the sign-in attempt, they need to enter their OTP as the initial step and should use the Resend button only if the OTP was not received upon the initial press, ensuring clarity and ease of use. - Support multiple URLs in Webinar Resources
Webinar resources can display multiple resource links at a time during a Webinar. When multiple links are enabled during the Webinar, attendees will be able to scroll through the links that the host enabled. This allows the presenter or host to provide a diverse range of supplementary materials, such as slides, handouts, reference documents, and relevant URLs. - Zoom IQ for Sales renamed to Zoom Revenue Accelerator
Zoom IQ for Sales, a conversational intelligence add-on for Zoom Meetings and Zoom Phone, is rebranded as Zoom Revenue Accelerator. As part of this rebranding, associated web settings, descriptions, prompts, and other mentions are updated to be aligned with the new name. - Expanded access to audio transcription and Smart Recording for cloud recordings
The ability to generate a post-meeting audio transcript for a cloud recording, as well as the Smart Recording ability, which generates chapters and next steps based on the cloud recording’s transcript, are now both available for Pro accounts and higher. Previously, these features were available for Business accounts and higher.
New and enhanced features
- Administrator features
- Expand chat history filters
Account owners and admins have the capability to search for up to 5 specific users at a time in the Chat History Report. - Reflect Cloud retention period on Edit Channel and Channel Management screens
Account owners and admins can determine the Cloud Storage retention period for any given channel at a quick glance on the Channel Management screen. Additionally, if channel-specific cloud storage has been set, they have the ability to revert back to the default cloud storage setting directly from the Edit Channel screen. These improvements enhance the Admin experience on the Channel Management and Edit Channel screens, providing better retention period management, increased clarity, and control. - Customer Managed Key (CMK) protection for Team Chat messages with external users
CMK encryption has been expanded to protect chats and channels with external users. Previously, CMK only protected chats or channels with internal users.

- Resolved an issue where time zones for recordings are inconsistent across the Web portal, Zoom for Outlook plugin, and email notifications

- Resolved an issue where the Zoom Scheduler video settings do not follow the settings configured in the Web portal
- Resolved an issue where the Dashboard statistics were not properly populated
- Resolved an issue where Zoom sends out email notifications when a meeting is updated from the Web portal
Note: The 2 Continuous Meeting Chat enhancements, Continuous Meeting Chat enhancements for external invitees and “Chat with everyone” links embedded into meeting invites set up with Continuous Meeting Chat, have been pulled from release due to a late bug discovery, and will be available in another upcoming release.

New and enhanced features
- General features
- Support for macOS Sonoma - macOS
With this update, macOS version 14 (Sonoma) is supported. - Additional MSI/PLIST/GPO/MDM options
- Disable Zoom Notes for Meetings - DisableInMeetingZoomNotes - Windows, macOS, Linux
Disabled by default, admins can control the use of Zoom Notes during Zoom Meetings.
- Keyboard shortcuts for desktop client tab navigation - Windows, macOS
New keyboard shortcuts are added to the desktop client, making it easier for users to quickly switch between Zoom product tabs. Additionally, the Windows desktop client is getting a General section in the Keyboard Shortcuts section, which includes the new options below and a few other shortcuts, relocated from other sections. The following shortcuts are added to the Keyboard Shortcuts section of the client Settings page:
- Ctrl+Tab: Move to the next tab
- Ctrl+Shift+Tab: Move to the previous tab
- Ctrl+1 through Ctrl+8 : Move to a specific tab
- Ctrl+9: Move to the last tab
- Calendar and Contacts integration setup for mobile - Android
Zoom mobile app users can more easily set up the standard calendar and contacts integration with Zoom, allowing the Zoom app (both desktop and mobile) to show all their upcoming appointments, not just the Zoom Meetings created by them. - Improved multitasking during meetings - Android, iOS
Mobile users can more easily interact with various Zoom features during a live meeting, while still being able to see most video tiles. This enhancement allows certain meeting controls, such as in-meeting chat and the participants list, to be opened initially over the bottom-half of the screen, still allowing visibility of video tiles above. These panels can be expanded to cover the entire screen, if the additional space is needed. This feature will begin rolling out to free users, with other accounts types to receive this functionality soon after. - Expanded product tabs on mobile - Android, iOS
Tabs available on the bottom of the Zoom mobile app are expanding to include Mail and Calendar tab, making it easier for mobile users to access their email and calendar through Zoom. - Max bandwidth for Zoom Mesh parent-devices - Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS
To better adapt to weaker networks, each parent device is limited to a maximum bandwidth, which, when exceeded by child devices, triggers the parent device to connect to no additional child devices. For ethernet connections, the maximum bandwidth is 60 MBPS, and 15 MBPS for wifi connections. This has no effect on the setting for maximum bandwidth per attendee. - Update to OpenSSL 3.1.1 - Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS
Due to the end of support by OpenSSL for version 1.1.1, the Zoom client is updated to use OpenSSL 3.1.1. Depending on your network security configuration, you may also need to update your network infrastructure devices’ firmware.
- Meeting/webinar features
- Annotation toolbar redesign - Windows, macOS, Linux
When annotating on a shared desktop or specific window, the annotation toolbar is redesigned to improve usability and reduce the screen space used by that toolbar. The toolbar is slimmed down and will snap to the nearest edge of the screen, orienting either vertically or horizontally. - Q&A usability enhancement - Windows, macOS, Linux
Threaded comments to submitted questions in Q&A are capped at displaying 2 comments before they are hidden behind a View More option. This aims to make reading submitted questions and their responses easier by reducing how other questions and expanding threads affect each other in the Q&A window. - Window merge-in enhancements - Windows, macOS, Linux
Side panels, such as the in-meeting chat and participants panels, can be easily popped out from the main meeting/webinar window for ease of use, and with these updates, they are even easier to merge back into the meeting/webinar window. Additionally, the Q&A window for meetings and webinars can be merged into the main window. Previously it was only possible to close or minimize the Q&A window, not merge it into the main meeting/webinar window. - Captioning controls redesign - Windows, macOS, Linux
The in-meeting/in-webinar captioning controls are redesigned to make captioning options easier and more intuitive to enable and adjust. Host controls are clearly separated from other controls available to all participants and some settings are renamed slightly to be more clear to users. - Enhanced manual captioning UI - Windows, macOS, Linux
The window where captions are manually entered more clearly indicates that captions appear for meeting participants or webinar attendees as the captioner types, rather than when hitting the Enter key.
- Webinar features
- Support multiple URLs in Webinar Resources - Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS
Webinar resources can display multiple resource links at a time during a Webinar. When multiple links are enabled during the Webinar, attendees will be able to scroll through the links that the host enabled. This allows the presenter or host to provide a diverse range of supplementary materials, such as slides, handouts, reference documents, and relevant URLs.
- Team Chat features
- Custom emojis - Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS
Users can create their own emojis, adding a personal flair to their conversations. All members in the user's organization can see and use these custom emojis in Team Chat conversations and reactions. Admins can view all uploaded emojis, including the uploader’s name and email address, upload date, and emoji name. Admins can also remove any emojis directly from the web portal. By default, custom emojis are enabled and all users can upload their own, but admins can also limit emoji creation through account settings by choosing whether all users in the organization can create emojis or only the admin(s) and specific users can create emojis. - Scheduled messages - Windows, macOS, Android, iOS
Scheduled messages improve custom workflows and productivity in Team Chat, giving users the ability to schedule messages for future delivery. Users can also delay sending messages until the recipient’s work hours, showing courtesy and ensuring the message appears at the top of the recipient’s inbox. Previously, users had to choose between waiting to send messages (even if it meant working beyond their usual hours) or potentially disrupting the recipient. - Drafted messages listed in Drafts tab - Windows, macOS, Android, iOS
Drafted messages are conveniently listed and accessible through a new Drafts tab within the Team Chat side panel. - Consent required for channel and group chat additions - Windows, macOS
Users will be presented with a consent notice before being added to an external channel or group chat. Adding external users to channels and group chats no longer requires contact requests. However, contact request approvals are still needed for one-on-one chats. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend release, currently scheduled for September 24, 2023. - Team Chat Thread Summary with Zoom AI Companion - Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS
Team Chat users can use Zoom AI Companion to help summarize a chat thread and quickly catch up on the discussion without having to read each response in the thread. - Add timestamp to the lists of existing chats in a dropdown - Windows, macOS
When a user initiates a new group chat with the same members, the user will see a timestamp indicating the last message sent in each existing chat with identical membership. The timestamp will allow users to easily distinguish between multiple group chats featuring the same members. This way, users can quickly identify which chat is most relevant or contains the information they're looking for. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend release, currently scheduled for October 15, 2023. - Enhancements to the Team Chat mobile experience - Android, iOS
Various improvements to the Team Chat mobile experience are being introduced to maintain parity with the desktop client and enable users to quickly catch up on their prioritized conversations, including one-on-one chats, mentions, channels, and group chats with notifications. - Keep formatting when copying and pasting text in Team Chat - Android, iOS
Users can copy text with formatting from external sources, such as documents or web pages, and paste it directly into the Zoom Team Chat while retaining the original formatting. Additionally, formatting will be preserved when copying and pasting text within Team Chat, ensuring that the text appears as intended, whether it’s bold, italicized, in lists, or other formatting styles.
- Mail and Calendar features
- Add a reply message - Windows, macOS
When users RSVP to an event, they have the option to add a reply note to inform the host why they can or cannot attend the event. Additionally, users can include a reply message when they propose a new time for an event. This feature is available for Microsoft, Google, and Zoom calendars. - Compose or refine emails with Zoom AI Companion - Windows, macOS
Users can access Zoom AI Companion for Mail to enter a prompt and generate emails. When responding to an email thread, users can generate an email using information from the thread and/or an inputted prompt. Users can enable or disable the Zoom AI Companion for Mail integration. - Support for the Important label - Windows, macOS, Android, iOS
Users can view and filter emails that are important. They can also mark or unmark emails as important as well as arrange inbox sections into Important/Everything Else. Currently, only Gmail supports this feature. - Updates to outdated events - Windows, macOS
Users will always see the event details whenever they click the event invitation email. Previously, Zoom Mail displayed the following message for outdated events: “This invitation is out of date.” - Use dropdown menu to switch between calendars - Windows, macOS
Users can leverage the Zoom Calendar dropdown menu to easily switch between multiple calendars. Previously, users had to switch calendars in the Zoom Mail tab's Settings dropdown menu. - Propose a new meeting time - Windows, macOS
Users have the option to propose a new time that works better for them when they view events on their calendar. This feature is only supported for Zoom and Outlook service calendar clients. Note: This will not be available for Google Calendar. - Enable Switch & Join in sidebar and calendar view - Windows, macOS
The Switch and Join button is enabled for users in the Zoom Calendar sidebar and main calendar view. Users can switch between concurrent events. Previously, when users joined an event, the join button was disabled for other concurrent events. - Email all guests in calendar invite - Windows, macOS
When composing an email, a user can email all guests in a calendar invite. The user can also select and remove individual guests from the mail list. - Updates to Zoom Calendar scheduler attendee list - Windows, macOS

- Phone features
- Incoming call focus - Windows, macOS
This feature is per request only, and if enabled for your account, users have the choice to opt for either permitting incoming calls to take focus or maintaining their ongoing focus. Existing users will experience no alteration in their behavior after the feature release, with incoming calls prioritizing focus over the application being used. New users will find that the default setting preserves the focus on the application in use when a call is received. - Bridge Zoom Phone call and Meeting audio - Windows, macOS, Android, iOS
When Merge meeting audio to Zoom Phone invite during dial is enabled by admins, users can seamlessly integrate a Zoom Phone call with their ongoing meeting, allowing them to invite participants via phone numbers and navigate phone trees using DTMF tones, ensuring a more interactive and efficient communication experience during meetings. This feature will not be immediately available as it is dependent on a backend server update, currently scheduled for September 28.

- Select camera, speaker and mic - Windows, macOS
While in a video engagement, agents and consumers can select the specific camera, speaker and microphone they want to use. - Video waiting room drop-in - Windows, macOS
