Changes to published Zoom support articles that mention local recording will be gradually updated to reflect the new label.
• Enhancements to default survey selection
  Users can select a default survey using a modal pop-up component, providing a more intuitive way to choose surveys. Additionally, account owners and admins can set a default survey for the entire account through this modal pop-up component. The modal pop-up component replaces the previous dropdown menu, offering an enhanced user experience when configuring default survey settings.

New and enhanced features

• Admin features
  • Don't Show This Again option for meeting disclaimer prompts: Admin control 
    Account owners and admins can manage the Don't show this again settings for users within their organization. The Don't show this again option is for common in-meeting disclaimer prompts: Meeting recording (including Meeting recording shared with Zoom Revenue Accelerator), AI Companion, Livestreaming, and durable captions. If enabled, this feature allows users to avoid repeated prompts in future internal meetings after acknowledging them once.
  • Customer Managed Key fallback capabilities for enhanced data security 
    Account owners and admins can enable the Automatic fallback to Zoom's key settings from the Web portal to address data loss concerns when the key broker service is unavailable. This enhancement allows Zoom services to utilize a Zoom-provided fallback key if the customer's key cannot be accessed, ensuring recordings can still be securely stored. Administrators will be notified based on new rules in the "Fallback Status" notification module, and new customers will have the fallback feature enabled by default, with warnings provided if they choose to disable it due to potential data loss risks. Additionally, cloud meeting recordings will default to local recording if a key cannot be obtained, offering a robust fallback solution.
  • Customer Managed Key: Enhanced license management control 
    Account owners and admins can enable or disable the Customer Managed Key (CMK) at the account and group levels before configuring keys and assets. This enhancement allows admins to conduct phased rollouts and adjust license provisioning to meet their deployment needs. Previously, purchasing Zoom One Plus Enterprise Plus (ZOE+) automatically enabled CMK for the entire account.
  • Zoom Mail domain onboarding wizard
    Account owners and admins can use the mail domain onboarding wizard, which provides clear steps to set up their first domain and activate the first user.
  • Zoom Mail: set domain-level encryption preferences
    Account owners and admins can select if a specific domain will be configured to use one of the following end-to-end encryption modes by default: mandatory encryption, encryption by default (users can choose in the client), or no encryption by default (users can choose in the client). End-to-end encryption capability will still depend on a variety of factors, such as whether the sender and receiver have already generated encryption keys, whether they are running the latest Zoom client version, as well as the configuration of user or account level settings. The user interface will indicate whether the email a user is about to send will be end-to-end encrypted or not.
  • New admin control to disable image upload for surveys
    Account owners and admins can disable image upload for surveys. This setting is located in the image banner settings and applies to all surveys created within the account. When disabled, users will not be able to include images in their survey questions or responses. This setting is available at the account and group levels.
  • Display individual real-time poll responses as overlays on video tiles in Zoom Rooms 
    Account owners and admins can enable or disable the poll response overlay feature in the Zoom Rooms web portal. Meeting hosts can enable or disable the overlay during a meeting from the Zoom Rooms controller. When enabled, individual poll responses are displayed as an overlay on each participant's video tile, allowing the Zoom Room to display the poll result after the poll is concluded.
• User features
  • Don't Show This Again option for meeting disclaimer prompts 
    Zoom introduces a Don't show this again option for common in-meeting disclaimer prompts: Meeting recording (including Meeting recording shared with Zoom Revenue Accelerator), AI Companion, Livestreaming, and durable captions. If enabled, this feature allows users to avoid repeated prompts in future internal meetings after acknowledging them once. This feature only affects internal meetings and will not appear for disclaimers customized by the account owners or admins.
  • Ability to adjust webinar resources directly during scheduling 
    From the Zoom Web portal, webinar host can manage and adjust the status of webinar resources directly during the scheduling process. This feature allows hosts to enable or disable specific items as needed before the webinar begins.
  • Pie chart visualization for polls and surveys
    Users can change the pie chart style to get an advanced view of the results for polls or surveys. This feature provides a pie chart format that allows users to visualize results from polls or surveys.
  • Provide shortened URLs for sharing survey links
    Survey owners can generate a tiny URL when sharing the respondent link for their surveys. When users choose to share their surveys, they can select the option to create a shortened version of the survey URL. This streamlined approach simplifies the process of sharing survey links across different platforms and mediums.
  • Edit polls from Team Chat with Zoom web portal access
    Poll owners can edit their polls from the web portal by clicking the Edit button in the Zoom Team Chat poll menu. A new Edit button is added to the Team Chat poll menu, allowing poll owners to access the web portal and make changes to their existing polls. This enhancement provides greater flexibility and poll management directly from the Team Chat interface.
• Zoom Phone Appliances
  • Enhancements to Zoom Phone Appliance device monitoring with alerts and notifications 
    Account owners and admins can set up alerts and notifications to monitor the status of Zoom Phone Appliance (ZPA) devices. New rules can be created for scenarios like ZPA devices going offline or online, or when the rate of offline ZPA devices at a site exceeds a certain threshold. The alerts can be configured to target specific ZPA devices, groups, or accounts. This feature informs admins about potential issues with ZPA devices.
    Note : This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend server update currently scheduled for June 21, 2024.

Users can also check in to their reservations via the Zoom chatbot in Slack. This integration allows users to stay updated on their workspace activities within their communication tool.
  • Receive workspace and visitor notifications in Microsoft Teams

    When deleting a user account, account owners and admins have the option to transfer that user's outstanding visitor invitations to another licensed Visitor Management user. They can view all outstanding visitor invitations for the deleted user account and input a new user account to transfer the invitations to. If no user account is selected for transfer, the outstanding invitations are automatically deleted.

    Account owners and admins can check visitors out after they have checked in. They have a visitor check-out button in the admin Invitations list.

Release notes for Zoom Events and Sessions 

Changes to existing features

• Remove the Event Detail Page tab from the event creation setup navigation menu 
  Users can now customize the event landing page directly from the registration link under Links and Event Access. The left navigation for registration and lite events has been standardized, removing the need to navigate separately to the event detail page. Change history tracking has been updated to reflect this workflow enhancement. If the page builder is available, users will be redirected to it for a seamless editing experience. Otherwise, they can access the existing event detail page configuration with breadcrumbs for navigation. This change simplifies the process of customizing the event landing page, reducing the need for hosts to switch between multiple sections.
• Changes to recurring sessions events ICS file
  For recurring session events following a recurring schedule, the ICS file will be simplified to improve compatibility with email providers. This will improve the rate of auto-added calendars for Google for recurring events. There is no change to the attendee experience, and the generated ICS file for recurring sessions events will have a single entry instead of multiple entries. This will only impact recurring sessions events that are on a recurring schedule. If the host customizes the schedule, this will not have an updated behavior.

New and enhanced features

• Admin features
  • Cloud recording settings for Zoom Events
    Account owners and admins can enable or disable cloud recording independently for each Zoom Events session type. These settings allow admins to enable recording for webinars without allowing recording for regular meetings. The separate settings can be configured at the account, group, and user levels. This provides more granular control over recording permissions. Previously, the recording setting applied to all session types together.
    Note: This feature will be rolling out to accounts over the next months and will be fully available to all users on July 15, 2024.
• Attendee features
  • Join Zoom Sessions with meeting ID and passcode
    In the event creation setup, hosts can view and share the session ID and passcode, allowing registrants to enter the session on the Zoom client to join an event. Hosts can also enable the join ID option that allows registrants to enter the session ID and passcode on the Zoom client to join an event. Registrants will receive a join ID (shared session ID and unique passcode) in the ticket email and the event ticket. Additionally, every group join link has a shared session ID and a unique passcode. Registrants can enter the session ID and passcode on the Zoom desktop client to join their event.
• Event setup features
  • Introducing Page Builder
    Hosts can create custom registration pages for Zoom Events that match their brand and meet the unique needs of their event using a new drag-and-drop page builder. The page builder allows customizing the layout and components on registration pages. Registration pages will automatically inherit event branding, styling, and native components. Each content component supports the drag-and-drop function, the Duplicate button, the Delete button, the Text Spacer component, and the Button Divider component.
  • Enhance email management by integrating speaker reminder email into email builder 
    Hosts have more control over all event-related communication, including reminder emails. This helps ensure that the special role reminder email is visible within the Other Emails section of the email management system. Additionally, it transforms this email into a fully customizable template within the email builder, granting hosts the capability to adjust its content as per their requirements. Previously, hosts could not view, disable, or modify the special role reminder email sent to speakers.
  • Track email builder changes and email management in event change history 
    The email builder and email management changes are included in the event change history. This expanded visibility allows admins to effectively monitor and audit modifications to email templates and settings.
  • Enhanced automated approval flow for registration forms
    Hosts can view, add, delete, and export the allow list for automated approval flow on registration forms. This provides more control and flexibility in managing the allow list.
  • Enhancements to recurring sessions scheduling
    Hosts can see updated event cadences when the original cadence has been modified. They also receive a warning message if editing all sessions will overwrite any previously added sessions. The event end date is automatically updated to the last session end date in the series.
  • Enhancement to event detail page for single session full events 
    Hosts can move the rich text description field for single-session full events to the session section of the setup flow. Helper text is added to let customers know that the information will be used in the detail section of the lobby. This enhancement improves the event setup experience for single-session full events.
  • Set default event access permissions for registration and group join 
    Hosts can set their default permission settings for event registration and group join separately. The registration authentication settings will match the event access and contain any allow lists. The join authentication settings will also match the event access and contain any allow lists. The default settings will be applied to newly created events within the hub. This allows hosts to customize the default event access settings to better suit their use case and prevent mistakes.
  • Customizable survey invitations for Zoom Events
    Event hosts can customize the survey invitation for attendees when adding external surveys to their Zoom Events. They can curate the headline, body copy, brand logo, and call-to-action buttons on the invitation. Additionally, event hosts can apply the same customizations to the Zoom survey invitation, maintaining a consistent style. This feature enables event hosts to tailor the survey experience to their branding and event theme.
  • Duplicate moderator roles when duplicating Zoom Events
    Event organizers can duplicate the moderator roles when duplicating an event. After duplication, the moderator roles are duplicated along with the event details. This allows for consistent moderation across duplicated events.
• Host features
  • Enable single choice required registration question
    Hosts can create a multiple-choice registration question with only one answer option available. This single-choice question can be set as required, making it mandatory for attendees to select the provided option to successfully register for the event. Additionally, hosts can include instructions or terms that attendees must acknowledge by selecting the sole option. This feature provides hosts with greater control over the registration process and ensures attendees review and accept any necessary information or agreements.
  • Customize collectable attendee information
    Hosts can opt out of collecting registrants' last names and customize the terminology for the first name field. When the last name is not collectible, the platform will auto-fill a placeholder value, which the host can customize. Instead of first and last names, hosts can require attendees to enter an alternative identifier, such as a username or handle, during registration. Attendees will be identified by this alternative identifier in the participant list and event reports.
• Hub features
  • VOD and simulive upload controls
    Account owners and admins can separately enable or disable VOD and simulive upload capabilities for specified accounts. VOD and simulive upload controls are decoupled for better control and management.
  • Customize hub page header
    Hosts can customize the hub page header for their Zoom Events. They can choose to display their company logo, a Video Selection icon, an Events Selection icon, an Events Hub icon, and a Powered by Zoom Events icon. Clicking these icons will take attendees to different pages within the hub. Attendees can also be directed to the order management page or sign-in page by clicking the Powered by Zoom icon. When an event enables a company logo, it will be displayed on the event detail page and sub-pages, overriding the hub logo configuration.
  • Introducing customized category management for Video On Demand 
    Hub owners and hosts can now create and manage customized categories for Video On Demand (VOD) content within their event hub. From the hub profile page, they can define categories to be applied to VOD channels and recordings. When setting up a channel, hosts select applicable categories, and when editing a VOD recording in a playlist, they assign relevant categories. Attendees benefit from a unified "Category" filter to explore both live events and VOD offerings based on their interests. This feature streamlines content organization for hosts and improves the attendee experience in finding desired content.
  • Enhancements to hub profile and settings page
    Hub hosts can edit the hub profile and settings page, including customized categories and content hub settings. This allows for better team collaboration and centralized management of the virtual event experience. However, hub hosts cannot delete the hub, which is only eligible for the hub owner.
  • Improved event deletion capabilities for hub owners and hosts 
    Hub owners and hub hosts can now delete one or multiple draft events that are not part of canceled events. They can also delete past events if there are no registrations associated with the event. However, they cannot delete upcoming events or past events with registrations. This provides greater control over event management and helps maintain a clean and organized event hub.
• Integration features
  • Enable in-app custom object updates for the Marketo integration 
    Account owners and admins can update custom objects for the Marketo integration directly within the Zoom App Marketplace. When configuring the Marketo integration, admins can click Update Custom Object to add new fields or data points to existing custom objects. This allows account owners and admins to leverage the latest features and functionality of the integration without needing to recreate the custom object through the API.
  • Map registration fields in campaign action step in Eloqua 
    Hosts can map Eloqua contact fields to Zoom Event fields from within the action step. When an Eloqua contact goes through the action step, they will be registered for Zoom. The mapped fields will pass from Eloqua to Zoom.
  • Support webinar Q&A in the HubSpot custom object
    HubSpot custom objects support Q&A from webinar sessions in Zoom Events. The Q&A asked by attendees during a Zoom Events webinar session and its data will be synced to HubSpot's custom object.
• Meeting & Webinar features
  • Access revoked license details and event cancellation triggers on the event portal banner 
    Account owners and admins can view detailed information about revoked licenses directly on the event portal banner. This includes details such as the license type and its expiration date. Additionally, the banner displays the event cancellation trigger date, which occurs seven days after the license expiration date. This enhancement provides greater transparency and clarity regarding license revocations, allowing admins to better understand the impact on their events and take appropriate actions.
  • Create reusable scene templates in Production Studio
    Hosts can create and manage reusable scene templates for Production Studio. They can save, edit, and delete templates to streamline the creation of scenes for webinars and events. Hosts can also name and add a description for each template. Templates can be shared across hubs, accounts, or organizations, allowing for greater efficiency and consistency in webinar production.
    Note: Hosts can create up to 200 templates.

  • Increase compose box size on the Zoom mobile app - Android, iOS
    Users can expand the compose box on the Zoom mobile app by dragging it upwards, allowing for easier composition and viewing of longer messages. The expanded compose box remains fixed in the dragged position until minimized. When minimized, the text truncates with an ellipsis. The cursor position is maintained at the end of the text during expansion. This feature improves the user experience when composing messages on the mobile app.
  • Simplified one-to-one chat invitations with external users - Windows, macOS, Android, iOS
    Users can initiate a 1:1 chat with an external user by entering their email address. The system will prompt the user that this is a contact request and will be sent as an email invitation as well as an in-client notification. Invitees can accept or decline the invitation from the client after signing in or signing up. If accepted, a 1:1 chat is created with the inviter's message populated. This provides a clear and safe way to invite and communicate with external users in a 1:1 chat. The invitation will expire after 30 days. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend release, currently scheduled for June 20, 2024.
  • Expanded GIPHY search and display capabilities in Zoom Team Chat - Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS

    • On the call-to-action button within the modal
      Additionally, to ensure consistency across mobile and desktop versions, two buttons, Share separately and Create group chat, will be included in the share modal on desktop. Previously, these buttons were only accessible on mobile devices. This modification is intended to harmonize the functionality between the desktop and mobile versions of the feature.
• Zoom web portal features
  • More granularity for Enable Team Chat setting

This feature enhances communication reliability and prevents information silos within the organization.
  • Granular control over chat modernization settings
    The meeting setting New meeting chat experience will be deprecated, but all nested settings will remain and have their own toggles.

Additionally, we will introduce a new setting, Allow participants to edit messages in meeting chat.
  • Suppress system notifications for user additions or removals via synced user groups

• Meeting features
  • Remove the Mask feature for Meetings
    Users will receive a message if their system cannot load the Virtual Background. The message will state, "Failed to enable Virtual Background. Your video has been turned off."

Previously, the Web App would prompt users to "Enable Mask," which displayed only a small visible area of the user's face while masking the rest of the screen.
  • Enhanced reporting for third-party devices joining through Zoom Web App 
    Account owners and admins can now view more granular information about the devices used by participants joining Zoom meetings through the Zoom Web App (ZWA).
