June 17, 2024 version 6.1.0 (198) Changes to existing features Back, Forward and History button to support navigation to additional product area tabsThe Zoom Workplace app’s Back, Forward, and History buttons that initially supported Team Chat are expanded to support navigation to additional product area tabs such as Calendar, Contacts, Clips, Whiteboards, and other products available from the More menu. New and enhanced features General features Synchronized presence from Zoom to MicrosoftWhen configured and enabled by their account owner 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. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on the External Presence Service, currently scheduled for June 28, 2024.Enhanced ability to report application problems within the Zoom Workplace appWhen a user clicks on Report problem, they can easily select the type of problem they would like to report and now have an option to include an attachment and capture a screenshot. Log files are now included with submissions by default (but can be excluded by a user). Diagnostic memory logs are now saved in encrypted form in both local storage and memory and are limited to 3 files that are 20 MB maximum in size each. Meeting/webinar features Change local recordings label to computer recordings for clarityZoom 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. Meeting features Multi-share - View newest share tabThe Multi-Share feature allows participants to share multiple content items and types simultaneously in a meeting. This capability benefits users by organizing each shared item into tabs, making it easier to follow along with the meeting activities. With the latest enhancement to this feature, participants can be directed to the newest share tab so they stay up-to-date with the meeting's flow.Enhancements to in-meeting multi-shareWhen using Multi-Share during meetings, users will be able to see all of the shares including shares from iPad/iPhone, second camera, and shared video files in the tabbed meeting experience. Additionally, new modals will inform users about Multi-Share when sharing restrictions occur, prompting them to enable the feature or request its enablement from the host so hosts and participants are aware of Multi-Share's availability, allowing for enhanced sharing and collaboration during meetings.Don't Show This Again option for meeting disclaimer promptsZoom 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. This feature only affects internal meetings. This feature will not appear for disclaimers that have been set up with a custom disclaimer. Controllable by admins at the Account and Group levels, this feature allows users to avoid repeated prompts in future internal meetings after acknowledging them once. Admins can disable this feature if they prefer users to acknowledge each prompt, and users can reset their preferences from the Web portal settings. Webinar features View main stage in Backstage before webinar starts for attendeesHosts and panelists can view the main stage in Zoom Webinar Backstage even when the webinar is not yet open for attendees. The Live Feed preview will display what's happening on the main stage instead of showing an Off Air message. This enhancement allows hosts and panelists to practice and familiarize themselves with the Backstage experience before attendees join.Enhanced control: Adjusting webinar resources directly during schedulingZoom now enables webinar hosts to 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.Enhancing webinar security: Introducing reporting feature for hosts and panelistsZoom is introducing a reporting feature in webinars, allowing hosts and panelists to report instances of abuse directly from the webinar interface. This feature aims to replicate the reporting functionality currently available in meetings, providing permissions for hosts and panelists to report participants and for hosts to remove them from the webinar. Team Chat features Support 250,000 members in Announcement channelsAnnouncement channels in Team Chat now support up to 250,000 members, enhancing scalability for larger communities. Users can actively participate in these channels by using features like reactions, responses, and tagging, promoting effective communication and collaboration.Enhancements to custom emojisCustom emoji sorting has been improved based on emojis added by the user and the most popular emojis. Additionally, hovering over a reaction or emoji will display its name and a larger view of the emoji, enhancing discoverability. Users can also copy and paste custom emojis within Team Chat, facilitating seamless communication.Improved message editing capabilities for adding images, files, and textUsers can edit any message, including those containing only images or files, and add or modify the text content. They can also add images or files to messages that were initially sent without attachments. This feature allows users to enhance their communications by providing additional context or supplementary information after the initial message has been sent, streamlining the messaging experience.Expanded GIPHY search and display capabilities in Zoom Team ChatUsers can now view up to 30 GIF search results from GIPHY within the Zoom Team Chat app. The search results load incrementally as the user types their query, providing a more dynamic and responsive experience.Enhancements to forward message featureThe message forwarding experience in Zoom Team Chat has been improved. Share message will be replaced with Forward message in multiple locations: Within the More menu associated with the message bubbleIn the title of the share/forward pop-up modalOn the call-to-action button within the modalOn the share/forward card displayed when the message is forwarded, along with its corresponding icon. Share message will be substituted with Forward/Forwarded message in these instances. Additionally, to ensure consistency across mobile and desktop versions, two buttons, Share separately and Create group chat, will be included in the share modal on desktop. Previously, these buttons were only accessible on mobile devices. This modification is intended to harmonize the functionality between the desktop and mobile versions of the feature. Mail and Calendar features Option to fade past events in calendarUsing the Reduce the brightness of past events option, users can fade past calendar events to easily differentiate them from upcoming ones.Event loading status screenWhen accessing the Calendar tab, users will see a loading screen when their calendar events take a while to load and render. This enhancement helps users understand the loading process and improves the overall experience.Enhanced call to action for first-time calendar usersFirst time calendar users will see clear call-to-actions to connect mail and calendar services.Propose new time entry point from Zoom Workplace app to Google CalendarUsers can now propose new meeting times directly within their Zoom Workplace app, eliminating the need to switch between Google Calendar and Zoom interfaces.Customizable week start day in calendar settingsUsers can choose their preferred start day for the week , Saturday, Sunday, or Monday, within their calendar settings. This feature accommodates users' preferences for organizing and viewing weekly schedules more conveniently.Collapsible All day events in calendar displayUsers can collapse all-day events by default when there are more than three per day, improving the user interface by reducing clutter.Ability to configure working hours and locationUsers can set and manage their working hours and location schedules in Zoom, automatically updating their availability status and calendar events.Additional event types - out of office and working locationUsers can add more event types such as Out of Office and Working Location. They can switch between these event types easily by clicking different sub-tabs on the scheduling interface. Clips features Support for Zoom ClipsIn addition to Windows and macOS, Zoom Clips will be available for Linux, Android, and iOS. Zoom Clips offers a convenient solution for capturing both personal video and screen activities, allowing users to effortlessly share their recordings with others. This feature is particularly valuable when demonstrating product features or showcasing various functionalities. Users can conveniently access their Clips through their client or web portal, and receive notifications about views, comments, and replies related to their Clips. The feature can be enabled or disabled at the account, group, or user level and is available for public beta during this release. Phone features Introducing voicemail transcription general availabilityThe voicemail transcription feature is generally available for additional languages, including French (Canadian), Spanish, Portuguese, and German. The default setting is English.Expanded language support for voicemail and videomail transcriptionUsers can select additional languages for voicemail and videomail transcription, including Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), French (France), Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Spanish (EU). Users can set their default transcription language for voicemail, videomail, and call recording transcriptions in the Zoom Workplace app. This feature must be enabled by Zoom.Outbound SMS spam preventionThere are several enhancements to spam prevention rules for outbound SMS messages. When duplicated SMS messages are sent on the Zoom desktop or mobile app, users will receive a risk notice that they must acknowledge. Phone numbers reported for spam are classified into risk categories, and appropriate actions are taken, such as sending notifications, reducing SMS limits, or suspending SMS capability. This feature ensures compliance with messaging best practices.Support for multiple languages for voice call summaryUsers can select from a wider range of languages for the voice call summary feature, including Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish. The feature also includes language identification, automatically detecting language transitions during calls to ensure accurate transcription. This feature must be enabled by Zoom.Post-quantum end-to-end encryption support for Zoom PhoneUsers can enable post-quantum end-to-end encryption (PQ-E2EE) for Zoom Phone calls. When enabled, users are notified that their call is "Post quantum end-to-end encrypted". As users update their Zoom desktop and mobile app to version 6.1.0 or higher, all end-to-end encrypted calls will start leveraging our latest post-quantum end-to-end encryption protocol. If PQ E2EE is unsupported by any participant's device, the call will default to standard end-to-end encryption (E2EE) when enabled. PQ E2EE in Zoom Phone is designed to withstand the threat of an adversary who can capture encrypted network traffic, hoping to acquire a quantum computer in the future and use it to decrypt the captured data. PQ E2EE offers the same security property as standard end-to-end encryption (E2EE), namely that the call is encrypted using cryptographic keys known only to the devices of the caller and receiver. Contact Center features Visibility into agent queue and engagement outcomeAdmins can access the assigned agent queue name and disposition for an engagement through new global variables. The global_system.Engagement.queue variable provides the queue name of the agent assigned to the engagement, which updates if the agent changes. The global_system.Engagement.disposition variable shows the disposition selected by the agent or system for the engagement. These read-only variables are accessible in flows, allowing admins to utilize this engagement data in widgets or scripts. Resolved issues Minor bug fixesSecurity enhancementsResolved an issue regarding Zoom Phone incoming calls to pause activity even when the Alert me but allow me to continue my current activity notification setting was enabledResolved an issue regarding incorrect annotation placements on KDE Plasma when using global scaling May 31, 2024 version 6.0.12 (5501) Resolved issues Minor bug fixesSecurity enhancements May 20, 2024 version 6.0.10 (5325) New and enhanced features General features Persistent More menu and global navigation behavior in the Zoom Workplace appIn the global navigation toolbar on the Zoom Workplace desktop app, users can click any item in the More menu to automatically pin it to the toolbar to keep frequently-used products available for quick access. Additionally, if you attempt to move all product tabs into the More menu, you will be notified that at least one tab must remain active.Spatial audio for an enriched audio experienceZoom desktop app users can enable spatial audio, allowing them to acoustically localize where other participants are located in the Gallery or Immersive view. When enabled in the Audio section of the app settings, speaker audio will change from the default mono to spatial, providing a broad stereo field. Spatial audio is not supported on Bluetooth devices. Meeting features Support for post-quantum end-to-end encryption for meetingsPost-quantum end-to-end encryption in Zoom Meetings is designed to withstand the threat of an adversary who can capture the encrypted network traffic, hoping to acquire a quantum computer in the future and use it to decrypt the captured data. As users upgrade their Zoom desktop and mobile app to version 6.0.10 or higher, all end-to-end encrypted meetings will start leveraging our latest post-quantum end-to-end encryption protocol. If PQ E2EE is unsupported by any participant's device, the meeting will default to standard end-to-end encryption (E2EE) when enabled. Additionally, the user interface is updated so that when meeting participants click the shield icon in the meeting window, next to Encryption, they’ll see one of the following encryption labels: Enhanced, End-to-end encrypted, or Post-quantum end-to-end encrypted.Onsite poll QR code sharingUsers can participate in polls seamlessly during a meeting by scanning a QR code displayed by the host, allowing both online and in-room participants to engage simultaneously. This update includes a browser pop-up for the QR code and options for manual sharing, significantly improving interaction and inclusivity in diverse meeting setups.View custom disclaimer when AI Companion is enabled in a meetingIf enabled by an account owner or admin, meeting participants will see a custom disclaimer when an AI Companion feature is enabled in a meeting for the first time or when an AI Companion feature is set to auto-start. Following similar disclaimers in the Zoom platform, users will have the choice to leave or remain in the meeting. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend server update currently scheduled for May 24, 2024. Webinar features Enhancements to webinar join experience and email collectionWhen the webinar host requires attendees to sign in to Zoom and chooses to collect email addresses for the attendee report, attendees will be prompted to enter their email. The email entered must match the address used to sign in to Zoom. This will ensure the accuracy of collected emails and provide a smoother join experience for webinar attendees.Optimized video quality streaming for simulive webinarsSimulive webinars stream at the highest quality that each attendee's device can handle. Previously, if one attendee's device couldn't handle 1080p, the quality would downgrade for all webinar attendees. The video quality is optimized for each attendee based on their device and network capabilities. Users with sufficient bandwidth and processing power will consistently receive 1080p quality. Team Chat features Alert users of exceeding character limit while composing a messageTo enhance the user experience, real-time notifications will alert users when they reach the character limit while composing a message in Team Chat, continuous meeting chat, and in-meeting chat. This will ensure that users are aware of the limit before attempting to send the message. Additionally, the real-time display of the character count deficit will enable users to promptly edit their message and adhere to the character limit.Consistent unfurling support across in-meeting chat and Team ChatThe functionality of content unfurling in the in-meeting chat feature will now match that of Team Chat. This allows users to preview links shared in continuous meeting chat before opening them. Mail and Calendar features Improved calendar subscription controlIn the Zoom desktop app, users can view others' availability without automatically subscribing to their calendars. Calendar events will be displayed in the main calendar view, and users will have the choice to subscribe separately.Customized sidebar experienceWhen users expand the calendar sidebar, they can adjust its width to create a customized sidebar experience, making it wider or narrower as needed.Enhanced Full Detail pageIn the Zoom desktop app, the Full Detail page has been enhanced to remove the Review entry point in the Send Reply Note and Propose New Time feature. Phone features Select correct Zendesk contact when a phone number matches multiple contacts in Zoom Phone app The Zoom Phone app integrated with Zendesk has been enhanced to handle situations where a phone number matches multiple Zendesk contacts. When a match occurs, users will see an indication next to the contact info showing the number of matches. This indication is clickable, opening a pop-up window where users can view contact details and choose the correct contact. After confirming their selection, a Zendesk ticket will be created for the selected contact. This improves the user experience by preventing tickets from being created against the wrong contact. Additionally, an admin setting has been added to enable or disable this multiple contact selection feature.Enable hosts to temporarily hold participants in multi-party callsThe conference host and co-host of a multi-party call can temporarily put one or all participants on hold. The host can toggle participants between being held or unheld. When a participant is held, they only hear the hold music set at the account level and cannot hear the main call. This enables hosts to have private conversations within a multi-party call. Hosts have options to start calls with all held, hold all at once, unhold all at once, hold individuals, and unhold individuals.Note: Account owners and admins must contact Zoom Support to enable the Multi Party Conferencing feature for their account. Contact Center features New searchable skills drop-down when transferring to queue with routing profileA new search capability to the skills drop-down has been added so agents can quickly find the appropriate skill to complete the transfer. It allows faster completion of transfers to queues with routing profiles. This applies to Zoom Contact Center channels where the skills modal is shown such as Zoom desktop app and Zoom Web App.Persist outbound caller ID selection for agents across sessionsAgents can now persist their last used outbound number when sending SMS. Once an agent selects their outbound number, this selection will be remembered across clients within Contact Center. This enhances the agent experience by removing the need to re-select the same outbound number every time they log in or switch clients. Overall, it saves agents time and simplifies workflows when handling outbound SMS.Configure sound alerts for new unread messagesAccount owners and admins can configure sound alerts for agents when they receive new unread messages from consumers. When enabled, agents will hear a sound notification when they receive a new unread message for a background engagement they have open. This helps ensure agents receive audio reminders of messages needing a response when they are multitasking between engagements or applications. By notifying agents of messages requiring their attention, this improves agent productivity and consumer satisfaction. This feature must be enabled by Zoom. Events and Sessions features Enhancements to the Resources panel navigation in Zoom Workplace appThe Resources panel in the Zoom Workplace app has been redesigned to improve the overall user experience for both hosts and attendees. Hosts can activate multiple resource links at once and manage resources to allow attendees to access only what is available to them. For attendees, the updated panel only displays active resource tabs available to them, reducing clutter. If no resources are active, the Resources icon is hidden from the toolbar. Resolved issues Minor bug fixesSecurity enhancementsResolved an issue where Zoom Phone dials the most recently called number after a user enters a different number on the keypad April 19, 2024 version 6.0.2 (4680) Download type: Manual New and enhanced features Meeting features Support for additional characters in Personal Link Admins can use additional characters, including hyphens (-) and underscores (_) , in users' Personal Link, which is a vanity version of their Personal Meeting ID (PMI). This allows successful mapping of SCIM or SAML fields containing these characters to users' personal links, and resolves provisioning failures experienced by some users with display names containing hyphens or underscores. Resolved Issues Minor bug fixes April 15, 2024 version 6.0.0 (4563) Download type: Manual Changes to existing features Zoom app now named Zoom Workplace app The Zoom app for desktop and mobile is now named Zoom Workplace, in order to align the app name with Zoom’s extensive product offerings that are designed to help users reimagine the way they collaborate. Users updating to this version will see the new Zoom Workplace branding in the app and as the app name in their app directory. This change also affects installer file names, so admins with mass deployments should adjust any scripts to account for the new file names (Zoom Workplace (32-bit), Zoom Workplace (64-bit), and Zoom Workplace (ARM64)).Late joining participants no longer blocked from unmuting or starting video Participants joining a meeting that has already started recording, live streaming, or using an AI Companion feature will no longer be blocked from unmuting or turning on their video. They will still see the applicable consent prompts and have their audio (recording, live streaming, AI Companion) and video (recording and live streaming) muted, but will not be blocked from using these controls while the prompt is still visible. Previously, these consent prompts prevented users from unmuting or starting their video until the prompt was acknowledged and consent provided.Consolidated Meeting and Calendar tabs The Meetings and Calendar tabs are merging to provide the greater visibility of the calendar view with the meeting details needed for your daily tasks. Easily view and filter upcoming meetings, view the invitees and their responses, and review shared materials ahead of the session, while also reviewing previous meetings and their assets, such as recordings, continuous meeting chats, whiteboards, and more. This change will be rolled out to accounts over time and be controlled through a web setting available at the account, group, and user levels. Initially, Basic, Pro, and some smaller Business accounts will have this available with the March release, with this enabled by default for those Basic and Pro accounts. Other accounts can expect this in an upcoming release, which can be managed for eligible accounts through the Feature Release Controls. New and enhanced features General features Zoom desktop app color themes and visual overhaul The appearance of the Zoom desktop app is overhauled with a new color scheme and icons. These color schemes, including bloom (blue), agave (green), and rose (red), are available when running the client in the light mode and can be chosen through app settings. These color themes are applied to the app global navigation bar, and the in-meeting window.Additional MSI/GPO/MDM options Keep only one section open in Team Chat - KeepOnlyOneSectionOpenInChat Disabled by default, this corresponds to the Only allow one section opened at a time setting for the desktop app, found under the Team Chat section of app settings.Organize chats by section - SeparateIMChatAndChannel Disabled by default, this corresponds to the Organize by section setting for the desktop app, found under the Team Chat section of app settings.Disable Team Chat file transfers - DisableIMFileTransfer Disabled by default, admins can enable this policy to prevent file transfers through Team Chat for any account signed-in.Allow file transfers for specific domains - AllowedIMFileTransferDomain Disabled by default, admins can enable this policy by specifying specific domains that their users are allowed to share files with other users associated with that domain. Meeting/webinar features Updated icons and meeting visualsThe in-meeting experience is updated with new icons and other visual changes to menus and toolbars.Improved collaboration with Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive files Sharing files from Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive is updated to make it easier to select files and share them for in-meeting viewing or collaboration. First, the third-party service’s native file picker will be used to select a file, instead of the Zoom file picker. After selecting a file from Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive, choosing Collaborate (which will grant participants file editing permissions), invites all participants to join in collaborating on the document using their system browsers,Improved voiceprint for personalized audio isolation The Personalized audio isolation audio profile is enhanced to allow for users to make a short voice recording of them reading a predefined script. This helps to enhance audio isolation performance whether headset or non-headset microphones are used, even in open environments. Zoom will store and use your voiceprint for this purpose, until you delete it, which you can do at any time in your audio settings.Improved Companion mode Connecting a device in Companion mode allows for easier video, chat, and sharing across multiple devices in any meeting. Connect in Companion mode from the Zoom app to view and respond to in-meeting chat or begin sharing the camera or an image on the device, all without joining the meeting as additional duplicate versions of yourself in the meeting. Start the meeting from another client, then connect on the desktop app and continue sharing a slide deck, managing participants, conducting a poll, and more. Additionally, when connected to a local Zoom Room in Companion mode, the Zoom Rooms Controller app, if enabled by admins, will no longer automatically open, but will still be readily available as an option in the control toolbar. Clicking will open the Zoom Rooms Controller app as a side-panel in the meeting window. This change in behavior to the Zoom Rooms controller app will currently only be available for the Zoom desktop app for Windows, with macOS to follow soon. This feature will be rolling out to accounts over the next few months.Portrait lighting for video The new portrait lighting setting allows Zoom to dim your background while brightening you in the foreground, making you stand out even more in your meetings. This is available through in-app video settings and has hardware prerequisites similar to using virtual backgrounds without a greenscreen.SIP/H.323 interoperability UI enhancements When a Zoom user client calls a SIP or H.323 Room System or destination, the caller ID will indicate the user name, instead of “Zoom” followed by the meeting ID. Also, some indicators embedded in the video stream sent to the SIP/H.323 destination, such as quality bars, participant counts, and participant name labels, are hidden to avoid duplicative or unnecessary information display.Exclude hosts and panelists from survey participation A new web setting can prevent individuals with hosting roles from participating in surveys, streamlining the administration process and ensuring more accurate and unbiased feedback from participants. This includes the host, co-host, and webinar panelists.Consolidated notifications for enabled/disabled features Unnecessary and redundant in-meeting notifications are removed or set to not appear multiple times, clearing up visual clutter that may interfere with the live meeting. The initiator of a feature will not see a confirmation notification, as they are aware of the feature they are selecting, and when certain features are disabled, the corresponding notification is suppressed as well.Automated captioning and translated caption support for Hebrew Automated and translated captioning support is expanding to include captioning for the Hebrew language. This language is enabled by default, but admins can control the availability of this language through the Automated captions and Translated captions settings within the web portal.Greek, Bengali, Norwegian, and Welsh support for translated captions Accounts using the translated captions feature will be able to have automated captions translated from any currently supported language to Greek, Bengali, Norwegian, and Welsh, facilitating easier communication between participants in Zoom Meetings. Translated captioning is not yet supported when translating from these languages, as they are not yet supported for automated captioning. These languages are enabled by default, but admins can control availability of this through the Translated captions setting in the web portal. Meeting features In-meeting AI Companion disable and deleteHosts, co-hosts, and participants (in the absence of a host) can choose to turn off all AI Companion features at once in a meeting. Additionally, they have the option to delete meeting assets generated thus far, such as recordings, summary, and transcript, to help ensure these assets are not unintentionally shared with anyone after the meeting. These options are available to the host and co-hosts by default, with participants able to request disablement as well. In the absence of either the host or co-host in a meeting, any participant will be able to disable and delete assets.In-meeting AI Companion features combined enablement The host and co-hosts in a meeting can more easily enable both AI Companion features in a meeting with just a click of a combined Turn on all option under the AI Companion option in the meeting toolbar. This enables both Meeting Summary and Meeting Questions features for the current meeting.Simplified AI Companion consent notifications for hosts When the meeting host initiates the meeting summary or meeting questions features, they will no longer see the consent prompt, and instead will see a simple toast notification along the top of the meeting window, which will disappear after a few seconds. Other meeting participants will see the consent notification as a prompt along the top of the meeting window, but must acknowledge the prompt before it will disappear.Meeting wallpapers Meeting hosts can customize the wallpaper in their meeting, adding more color and customization to their meeting view. The host or co-host can choose from preset images provided by Zoom or their account admins. With a selection made, they can also adjust how much to blend the participant videos with the wallpaper image. Admins can control use of this at the account level, as well as provide additional default images, which are available to the host and co-host during meetings. Images uploaded through the web portal by admins must be JPG/JPEG or 24-bit PNG with a maximum size of 15 MB. The recommended resolution is 1920x1080px.Dynamic emoji reactions for video tiles Meeting reactions appearing in a user’s video tile, either in gallery or speaker views, are more dynamic with emojis appearing and floating up and around the user. This provides a greater visual indication of other video participant’s reactions for the presenter or speaker. These reactions only appear for video-on participants and can be disabled through the in-meeting Reactions settings.Support for expanded remote control settings regarding external participants The Zoom app supports recent changes to web settings to control the use of the remote control feature when external participants are present, which includes preventing guests from controlling other guests’ screens and preventing internal users from controlling a guest's screen.AV1 video codec To provide higher quality video while conserving bandwidth usage, Zoom continues rolling out this video codec to Pro accounts. Use of codecs, including AV1, is adaptive, and Zoom dynamically chooses the most appropriate codec. Webinar features Full emoji suite support for Webinar Reactions Similar to Meeting Reactions, Webinar Reactions are able to utilize the full suite of available emojis, in addition to the 6 standard emojis. Availability of all emojis versus the standard set can be controlled at the account, group, and user level settings page.Removed email field for webinars not collecting emails For webinars not collecting attendees’ email addresses, meaning registration is not required and the Include email address in attendee report setting is disabled, attendees joining the session will no longer be prompted to enter an email address.Customized waiting room for Webinars Hosts and account admins 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. Additionally, hosts can also view the number of attendees waiting to join while the webinar is in practice mode, allowing them to decide when it is the best time to end practice mode and allow attendees into the webinar. This feature will be rolling out to accounts over the next months. Team Chat features Team Chat Sentence Completion with Zoom AI Companion Team Chat users can use Zoom AI Companion to suggest words while they are in the middle of composing incomplete sentences. Phantom word suggestions will appear in light gray in the compose box, allowing users to accept suggestions by hitting the tab button.Expanded language support Chat Compose and Thread Summary with AI Companion features AI Companion features for Team Chat support a broader range of languages for both Chat Compose and Thread Summary features, expanding from 9 to 37 languages, including English. Supported languages will include English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese Simplified, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Ukrainian, Chinese Traditional, Czech, Estonian, Finnish, Hungarian, Polish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Hindi, Romanian, Bangla, Danish, Indonesian, Malay, Norwegian, Tagalog, Tamil, Telugu, Swedish, Arabic, Hebrew, Cantonese, Thai, and Greek.Meeting assets included with Meeting Summary in Continuous Meeting ChatThe Continuous Meeting Chat experience has been enhanced to provide a quick snapshot of all meeting assets such as recordings, Meeting Summary with AI Companion, files, links, attachments, or Whiteboard links. Depending on the content generated during the meeting and the host's preferences, users will now have a quick and easy way to reference all these items in one place. If the meeting was cloud recorded, the host will see an interactive card in the meeting group chat, visible only to them, prompting them to share the recording with others in the continuous meeting chat. If shared, the posted meeting asset interactive card is updated to include the link to the recording. Other channel members will see Pending host approval until the host decides to share the recording. The same applies to the Meeting Summary with AI Companion if the host has the corresponding setting to share it only with themselves.Increase Team Chat public channel limit to 250,000 members Team Chat public channels support up to 250,000 members, facilitating scalability for larger communities. Certain admin settings have been adjusted to compensate for the increased member count. Mail and Calendar features Zoom Mail sentence completion The Zoom Mail client will auto-complete users’ partially entered text by providing suggestions. Users can press the Tab button to accept the suggestion.Enhancements to the signing in on the Zoom desktop clientUsers must only sign in to the Zoom Calendar/Zoom Mail service once.
