- Meeting/webinar features
- Updated icons and meeting visuals
The in-meeting experience is updated with new icons and other visual changes to menus and toolbars. - 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. - Resized Q&A panel for webinars and meetings
To enhance user experience and consistency across platforms, the Q&A panel on the Zoom Web App can be resized, mirroring the functionality found in the desktop client. This improvement is applicable to both meetings and webinars. - Collapse Q&A responses
Users can quickly scan through Q&A responses and comments without feeling overwhelmed by a long list. By limiting the number of visible responses to two (unless manually expanded by the user), the display becomes less cluttered, enhancing readability and making it easier for users to focus on the content. - Enhanced Q&A viewing experience
A new Q&A viewing experience will be introduced, allowing users to interact with specific questions without being automatically redirected due to frequent rearrangement triggered by upvotes. Additionally, the logic for reordering the list of questions has been modified to enhance the user experience. The list will automatically sort by the number of upvotes in the following scenarios:
- Opening the panel: When a user loads the Q&A panel by clicking the toolbar button, and the Upvote option is already selected.
- Changing the order by option: When a user switches from "Most Recent" to "Most Upvotes," the sorting will be triggered automatically upon window refresh.
- Manual refresh: Users can manually force a refresh by clicking the refresh button at the top of the window.
- Memory usage statistics
Users on supported browsers can open the Statistics tab of the settings window and view memory usage information. This is only available when connected to a meeting or webinar.

Users can share content directly from their computer through an HDMI connection into a Zoom Meeting being conducted on a Google Meet device. - Support for expanded remote control settings regarding external participants

Admins have additional Waiting Room customization options, allowing them to automatically move participants to the Waiting Room if the host or alternative host leaves, as well as automatically admit those participants back into the meeting when the host or alternative host returns. The Web App better supports this feature with improved messages and notifications for participants being moved to/from the waiting room.
- 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.
- Phone features
- Obfuscate sensitive data during a call
Account owners and admins can conceal sensitive data during calls by implementing the Obfuscate sensitive data during a call setting at the account, site, group, and user levels. When enabled, users pressing a dial pad key on the screen or keyboard during a call will mute the client DTMF tones, displaying asterisks instead of the actual numbers for enhanced security.
- Zoom Contact Center features
- Remote Control for Zoom Contact Center supporting UAC prompts
Agents can control the User Account Control (UAC) prompt that may be displayed by Windows during a web remote control session. Agent interactions include viewing and entering their admin username and password to successfully execute their support operations. Additionally, Zoom Contact Center allows you to set configuration policies for the remote control app to help enhance access security. - Zoom Apps support within Zoom Contact Center
Agents using Zoom Contact Center through the Zoom Web App can access relevant Zoom Apps to more efficiently access other apps during the interaction and resolve issues quicker. The Zoom Web App's display and switching rules for Zoom Apps, such as orientation, sizing, pop-out, and landscape, follow those of the desktop client. Additionally, data and user interface synchronization between the Zoom Web App and desktop client is now simultaneous on both platforms. Previously, Zoom Apps were only accessible within the Zoom Contact Center desktop client experience.
