Changes to existing features
- Zoom app now named Zoom Workplace app - Android, iOS
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 - Android, iOS
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. - End of support for x86 and x86_64 Android devices - Android
With this release, Android users will need a device with an ARM processor. Devices with older x86 and x86_64 architectures will no longer be supported and will have 5.17.10 (or any additional patches in the 5.17.X branch) as the last version available. - End of support for iOS 11 and 12 - iOS
With this release, iOS users will need to be on iOS version 13 or higher. Devices still using iOS 11 or 12 will no longer be supported and will have 5.17.10 (or any additional patches in the 5.17.X branch) as the last version available.
New and enhanced features
- General features
- Additional MSI/GPO/MDM options
- Disable Team Chat file transfers - DisableIMFileTransfer - Android, iOS
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 - Android, iOS
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
- Improved Companion mode - Android, iOS
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. - Exclude hosts and panelists from survey participation - Android, iOS
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 - Android, iOS
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 - Android, iOS
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 - Android, iOS
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. - Upcoming meeting reminders - Android, iOS
Mobile app users can enable reminders ahead of their upcoming meetings, choosing how many minutes ahead of the meeting to have the reminder notification appear.
- Meeting features
- In-meeting AI Companion disable and delete - Android, iOS
Hosts, 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 - Android, iOS
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 - Android, iOS
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 - Android, iOS
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 - Android, iOS
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 - Android, iOS
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 - Android, iOS
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 - Android, iOS
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. - Improved Webinar Backstage experience before live session - Android, iOS
Instead of displaying a large Off Air indicator before the webinar is officially started and attendees are allowed to join, the current live webinar feed is displayed if there are panelists in the webinar space, with a smaller indicator showing that the webinar is still Off Air. This makes it easier to know what attendees will see in the webinar prior to attendees joining, making panelists more comfortable and confident ahead of the upcoming live webinar. - Removed email field for webinars not collecting emails - Android, iOS
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 - Android, iOS
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 - Android, iOS
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 - Android, iOS
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 Chat - Android
The 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 - Android, iOS
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. - Enhanced functionality in Team Chat: Tabs, split view, chat settings and resource management - Android, iOS
Team Chat now includes tabs for whiteboards and important links, streamlining access to relevant resources. Owners and admins can pin essential resources in channels for easy access by all members. Users can collaborate on shared whiteboards in real-time within the chat interface. Tabs can be renamed, reorganized, or removed as needed. In group chats and direct messages, all members can manage tab content. Additionally, a split view feature enables simultaneous viewing of tab content and the main chat stream, enhancing productivity. The interface has been reorganized for efficiency, with the search function moved to the top of the chat stream and other options consolidated in the More menu. Chat resources are now accessible via the Resources tab, offering a more convenient experience for users. - Sort chats at folder-level - Android, iOS
To enhance usability, the Team Chat folder will feature sorting view options at the folder level for the desktop app. The available sorting options will include My Custom Order as the default, Unread First, and Alphanumeric with numbers preceded by alphabets. Sorting views for the Starred folder will be introduced in a future release. - Markdown formatting - Android, iOS
Users can use markdown syntax to more precisely format their messages, allowing users to craft visually appealing messages by incorporating headings, lists, and various other formatting elements. Markdown support also enables users greater flexibility in structuring their messages to suit their preferences and requirements. - Sidebar filter and badges enhancements - Android, iOS
Users can easily access their unread messages with the updated sidebar hierarchy:
- Tier 1: One-on-ones, group chats, and mentions are highlighted and float to the top with numbered badges.
- Tier 2: Meeting chats, channels, and apps are also highlighted and float to the top, but without numbered badges by default.
- Tier 3: Muted chats/channels are displayed without floating to the top.
Additionally, the desktop filter view aligns with the mobile experience: - Mentions: Only @me and @group mentions are shown, excluding @all mentions.
- Direct Messages: The first 300 Direct Messages, including read and unread, are visible.
- Unread: All unread messages are displayed.
- Muted: All muted channels, including read and unread messages, are listed.
The default setting for Filters remains unchecked. A numbered badge will appear if selected when adding to a new channel; otherwise, only the channel bubble will appear bold at the top.
- Mail and Calendar features
- Enhancements to the signing in on the Zoom desktop client - Android, iOS
Users must only sign in to the Zoom Calendar/Zoom Mail service once. When users grant their calendar and mail permissions on the Zoom web portal, they do not need to sign in again on the provider sign-in page in the Zoom desktop client. - Switch accounts in Zoom client app - Android, iOS
Users can switch between multiple calendars and manage all their calendar events and meetings. They can use the Zoom Calendar dropdown menu to switch between calendars. - Add silence mode for notifications - Android, iOS
Users can completely turn off email notifications by using the silence mode. When users choose to mute notifications, they will not receive the email count, and the red dot notification will not appear in the Zoom Mail client.
- Phone features
- Common Area support for iPhones - iOS
Owners and admins can set up their iOS smartphones as shared phones retail and other front-line scenarios. In this mode, the Zoom Common Area can be enabled on the Zoom app running on the device to place or receive calls and participate in call queues and other workflows.
