New, enhanced, and changed features
| Type | Feature title | Description | Platforms |
|---|
| Changed feature | Enhancements to sub account resource management | Account owners and admins can now implement a three-tier master-master-sub account structure for more granular license management. Master accounts have controls to grant Zoom Node and module licenses to sub accounts, enabling sub accounts to create their own Zone Controllers and Hybrid Meeting Media Routers. In addition, there is added support for switching sub accounts between Meeting Connector and Zoom Meeting Hybrid resources, with toggles to control dashboard visibility of exclusive and shared resource pools. Master accounts can monitor resource usage across all tiers while maintaining centralized control over license distribution. These capabilities provide service providers with enhanced flexibility in managing licenses and resources across complex organizational structures. | |
| Changed feature | Enhancements to email notification settings | Account owners and admins can add email addresses outside of their organization's domain, when configuring email notifications for Zoom Node services. This allows non-Zoom users to receive notifications about service-related issues. | |
| General features |
|---|
| New or enhanced feature | Support for Hyper-V deployment | Administrators can now leverage Hyper-V virtualization technology to deploy Zoom Node on Windows Server and Azure environments. The system automatically converts virtual machine images to VHDX format using qemu-img conversion tools, ensuring compatibility with Hyper-V systems. The Zoom Web Admin portal includes a dedicated Hyper-V download section where admins can obtain the VHDX image file. Admins can manage their Zoom Node deployment through the familiar Hyper-V management interface. This enhancement provides organizations with Windows-centric infrastructures more flexibility in deploying and managing their Zoom Node instances. | |
| Zoom Hybrid Meeting module |
|---|
| New or enhanced feature | Enhancements to web client meeting routing | Account owners and admins can configure local Real-time Web Gateway (RWG) as a component of the Meeting Hybrid service module on Zoom Node. The local RWG allows the Zoom Web App to connect directly to private meetings hosted on the node, keeping meeting media traffic within the country. Admins can configure RWG settings at the account, group, and user levels to enforce local RWG usage for private meetings. This configuration helps organizations comply with local regulations requiring meeting media to remain within country borders. | |

Released
March 16, 2025
Version: 3.11.0.20250315.272
New, enhanced, and changed features
| Type | Feature title | Description | Platforms |
|---|
| Changed feature | Enhancements to syslog reporting capabilities | Account owners and admins can monitor Zoom Node operations through expanded syslog integration. The system sends detailed logs about node operations including restarts, shutdowns, upgrades, and configuration changes. Syslog reporting includes certificate operations such as new certificates, expired certificates, and automatic re-key events. The system also tracks agent and module operations including additions, removals, and status changes. | |
| Changed feature | Enhancements to recording notifications and logs | Recording services now have comprehensive information about recording locations, including recording zones and services available via API responses. When recordings are split into multiple sessions, the system will display completed recording sessions after timeout, while maintaining a "recording in progress" status for incomplete sessions. These enhancements improve recording tracking and troubleshooting capabilities. | |
| Changed feature | Data center transition for hybrid meeting and recording services | Due to the migration from 2-letter to 3-letter data centers, an automated process is available for migrating hybrid meeting ZCs and recording ZCs. The migration involves domain name changes for hybrid meeting ZCs and requires restarting all Meeting Recording Resources (MMRs) in the affected zone. The system handles all migration tasks without requiring customer intervention, similar to MMR updates. Migrations are scheduled during off-peak hours to minimize service disruption. This transition ensures continued service availability before the May 2025 decommissioning of 2-letter data centers with hybrid resources. | |

| Changed feature | Enhancements to survivability token configuration and deployment settings | Account owners and admins can manage and retrieve survivability tokens within the Zoom Web Portal. Admins can download pre-configured registry files for Windows and plist files for Mac to simplify the token deployment process. The enhanced token management experience helps admins efficiently configure survivability settings across their organization's devices. | Web portal |
| Changed feature | Enhancements to recording file location visibility | Users who record meetings with Zoom Node Recording Connector can view their recordings listed in the Web Portal. When accessing recorded meetings, users can see the complete Network File System (NFS) storage path where the recording files are stored instead of download links. The file path information includes the date and meeting UUID directory structure. This visibility helps users easily communicate the exact recording location to their admins for file retrieval. | Web portal |
| Changed feature | Enable Private Meetings by default | Admins can configure whether users set up private meetings on or off by default or forced on every time (enabled and locked for every meeting). When set to Default Off , private mode is not turned on by default but can be selected by users when setting up a meeting. When set to Default On , private mode is turned on by default but can be deselected by users. This provides admins with more flexibility to encourage the use of private meetings while still allowing users to choose their preferred meeting mode. When set to Forced On , private mode is automatically turned on. | Web portal |
| Recording Hybrid module |
|---|
| New or enhanced feature | Introducing Content Streamer for on-premises recording access | The new Content Streamer service enhances the Zoom Recording Hybrid module to enable users to replay recordings and legacy in-meeting chats generated during hybrid meetings within their browser. The Content Streamer streams media files, providing a similar user experience as cloud-stored recordings, except for audio transcripts and video preview images. In addition, the Streamer Load Balancer service distributes the media load across multiple Content Streamers. | Web portal |

Users can now access the shutdown option, which was previously greyed out. The shutdown option is available alongside the reboot option. - Enhancements to certificate management and notifications
Account owners and admins can receive notifications in the dashboard when Digicert credentials on parameters change or there are changes in certificates. They will also be notified about AutoPKI certificate upgrades, when new certificates are installed, and if certificate renewal fails. There are also alerts for impending certificate expiration and renewal when AutoPKI is used, with different alert language for AutoPKI and Bring Your Own Certificate (BYOC). - Enhancements to network configuration settings
Account owners and admins can move the Gateway field into a separate box between the IP addresses and the DNS address. If an admin does not enter a gateway address, the system prompts them with a confirmation message: "Usually an Internet gateway address is required. Are you sure this node doesn't need a gateway?" The Gateway and DNS address are only required for the primary network interface. For subsequent network interfaces, the system only prompts for IP address fields. - Improvements to Zoom Node dashboard monitoring and alerting
Account owners and admins can configure additional alerting rules for per MMR utilization, Hybrid Meeting Zone capacity, meeting type usage, and module start/stop events. Alerting has been consolidated under Account Management for better notification options like Zoom Team Chat. Admins can customize alert email templates with variables to integrate with existing monitoring systems. The dashboard now graphically represents user counts for SFU and iMMR meetings separately, providing better visibility into meeting types.
