Changes to existing features

• No fixed time recurrence option removed from desktop client - Windows, macOS, Linux

New and enhanced features

• General features
  • Dynamic Island support - iOS
    Users with an iPhone on iOS 16 or higher can view live activities on the lock screen or the Dynamic Island, while there is an ongoing meeting but Zoom is not the current active app.
  • Additional MSI/PLIST/GPO/MDM options
    • Allow use of Zoom Mesh - EnableMeshNetworking - Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS
      Enabled by default, this policy allows admins to control use of Zoom Mesh, even if Zoom Mesh is enabled and deployed for their account and location.

  • Custom text color for captions - Windows, macOS
    Users can customize the color of the captioning text with a color palette to suit their needs for automated and translated captions.

Previously, all participants in a meeting, except for the host and co-host, were blocked from unmuting if the host prevented unmuting through the in-meeting security controls.
• Webinar features
  • Webinar automated and translated captions enhancements - Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS
    Translated captions in webinars are enhanced to make it simpler for attendees while providing hosts with greater control before the webinar starts. Hosts can set their own speaking language, as well as the speaking language of the webinar and of each panelist, before the webinars starts. To avoid confusion, webinar attendees will have the speaking language option removed from their controls, but can still choose the language they want captions translated to if translated captions are available in the webinar.
  • Webinar Resources - Speakers details - Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS
    Webinar hosts can also add information about their speakers, which will appear in the Resources tab during the live webinar.

    When the host ends a meeting with Continuous Meeting Chat enabled and guest participants in attendance, the host will be prompted to review the guest attendees and choose if they want them added to the group chat and continue having access to the discussion. By default, guest participants, which are participants not directly invited to the meeting through the calendar event, only have access to the chat discussion while in the meeting.
  • Increase max file size for Team Chat (1:1s, Group Chats, Channels) - Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS
    The maximum file size that Team Chat users can upload and share files with others is increased to 1 GB per file. Account owners and admins who use file transfer controls can allow files of up to 1 GB to be shared in a Team Chat. Previously admins could allow files of up to 512 MB.

    Users can sort their emails to view their unread emails first.
  • Out-of-office notice for internal recipients - Windows, macOS
    When adding an internal recipient to an email and that recipient currently has their status set to Out of Office, users will be notified of that user’s current status. This can set the expectation that the recipient may not respond promptly.
  • Encryption key change notification - Windows, macOS
    Zoom Mail Service users can choose to be notified when a recipient’s encryption key has changed, which can help prompt users to reach out to the recipient through another method, confirming the change is to be expected and there is no security risk with this change.

    Zoom Calendar supports dark mode on mobile devices.
• Phone features

Previously hiding incoming calls was only supported on the desktop client.
• Contact Center features 
  
  • Take over video engagements - Windows, macOS
    If enabled by an admin, supervisors can take over an active video engagement.
  • Transfer to Zoom Phone voicemail - Windows, macOS
    Agents can transfer a voice engagement directly to a Zoom Phone user's voicemail.

    Agents can use the participants list to ask the consumer to unmute. Participants will receive a prompt asking them to confirm the action to unmute.
  • Address book contacts for chat and video - Windows, macOS
