Changes to existing features
- Reorganization of settings related to mail, calendar, profile and contacts, and others
Settings related to mail and calendar, Zoom Scheduler, and calendar and contact integrations are being moved to their own Mail & Calendar tab on the Account, Group, and User Settings pages. Additionally, settings related to client updates, profile and contacts, data storage, and feedback are also moved to their own General tab on the Account, Group, and User Settings pages. - Option to disable Yahoo and Outlook calendar
In addition to Google calendar, account owners and admins can disable newly scheduled meeting invites from integrating with Yahoo and Outlook calendars. - Adding participant user ID in archiving JSON file
Users who have in-meeting chat archiving enabled and have opted-in to get the chat file in a JSON format can see the sender and receiver’s user ID as part of the response. Messages sent to everyone will only have the sender's user ID.
New and enhanced features
- Administrator features
- Enhanced control of language interpretation for cloud recordings
Admins have greater control over which language interpretation is captured by cloud recordings. The Record the Interpretation option has two sub-settings, allowing for sign-language and/or spoken-language interpretation to be captured or not. - Zoom IQ Meeting Summary controls
Account owners and admins can allow the host to initiate an ai generated summarization and next steps from a meeting that gets posted to team chat, web portal, and meeting client post meeting. The ability to receive the meeting summary can be restricted to the host alone, the host along with the company’s employees, or extended to all attendees of the meeting including invitees outside of their organization. This feature is available as a free trial for Zoom Pro, Zoom Business, Zoom One Business Plus, Zoom One Enterprise, Zoom One Enterprise Plus, and Enterprise Bundle accounts. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend server update currently scheduled for June 5, 2023. - Enhanced captioning control
Hosts can have greater control over captioning use and the speaking language chosen for the meeting. A sub-setting under the Automated captions setting is added, restricting caption enablement to just the host or just the host and any co-hosts. This results in meeting and webinar participants having to request captioning be enabled, which prompts the host (and co-hosts) to enable captioning and choose a speaking language. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend server update currently scheduled for June 4, 2023. - Enhancement to retention period for users
Account owners and admins can set a custom archiving retention period for users to 45 and 60 days. Previously, the archiving retention period ranged from 1 to 30 days only. - Enhancement to participant list during meeting archiving
Account owners and admins can choose whether the archiving icon will also show up for internal regulated users. By default, the archiving icon is applicable only to guest users. This setting is specific to meetings hosted by the account holder. This feature can only be modified at the account level. - Enhancement to admin audit logs
Account owners and admins can view operation logs for changes made to audio conferencing plans, specifically countries and regions, as well as view the list of users that were deleted through batch user deletion. - Prevent deletion of user groups when using Information Barriers
Account owners and admins can enable or disable the web setting Do not allow user groups to be deleted if they are part of an Information Barrier Policy that prevents the deletion of groups that have an info-barrier policy applied to them. This setting is disabled by default. - Enterprise feature release controls
Admins on Enterprise accounts will be able to manage the release of new certain new features or products into their environment. Account admins can select a timeline they are comfortable with for evaluating newly released features based on their needs for testing functionality, security, and compliance that are required by their organizational policy. Releases can be done manually or set to automatic release on a specific date. Admins can also track and review the timing of these changes through the Operation Logs report. - Control Team Chat screen capture at Group level
Account owners and admins can configure screen capture within Team Chat at the Group-level settings. Previously, this was only available at the Account level. - Select all entries when deleting Client Versions by Endpoint data
In the Zoom Dashboard, account owners and admins can select all entries when deleting endpoint data. Previously, the 'Select All' option was limited to the current page and allowed deleting only up to 25 entries at a time. - Zoom Rooms and Workspace location management
Account owners and admins can set up centralized location management, which provides a comprehensive view of all Zoom Rooms and Workspaces across their organization, making it easier to keep track of everything in one place. Additionally, the account owner or admin can control other users’ roles in Location Management through role management. - Zoom Mail Service domain configuration
Accounts managing one or more associated domains can use those domains to create corresponding email domains for use with the Zoom Mail Service. Admins can control mailing group creation, mailbox size quotas, calendar access control, and mail auto-deletion and retention. - Zoom Mail Service mailbox management
For each email domain on their account, admins can manage individual mailboxes, and create shared mailboxes for users on their account. Mailboxes can be rate-limited, indexed, deactivated, deleted, recovered, and purged entirely. - CMK adds support for Azure Key Vault
In addition to Amazon AWS and OCI Vault as supported Key Management Service (KMS) providers, Zoom has added support for Azure Key Vault. - CMK adds support for AWS External Key Store
For customers who need more control, AWS KMS also offers a dedicated CloudHSM or the capability to associate with an external KMS. - Chat Compose with Zoom IQ
Admins can allow their users to utilize Smart Compose in Team Chat to write their messages by leveraging context from your conversation. You’ll maintain the ability to change messages by adding tone, inputting prompts, or changing the length of the message to give you confidence in what you’re communicating. This setting is available at the Account level. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend server update currently scheduled for June 5, 2023. - Display video codec in Zoom Dashboard
In the Zoom Dashboard, account owners and admins can view the video codec type for each meeting participant in addition to bitrate, latency, and jitter. This feature allows for tracking video codec usage, which can be helpful for troubleshooting purposes.
- User features
- Enhancement to Simulive recording list
If the host account is eligible and enabled for video upload, users can use their uploaded recordings for their simulive session. Previously only meeting and webinar recordings were available to upload. The video upload feature must be enabled by Zoom to use uploaded recordings for simulive sessions. - Zoom IQ Meeting Summary
If the meeting host enables the Zoom IQ Meeting Summary, participants of the meeting will receive an automatically generated summary of the meeting including next steps after the meeting has ended. The meeting summary gets posted to team chat, web portal, and meeting client post meeting. This feature is available as a free trial for Zoom Pro, Zoom Business, Zoom One Business Plus, Zoom One Enterprise, Zoom One Enterprise Plus, and Enterprise Bundle accounts. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend server update currently scheduled for June 5, 2023.
