| New or enhanced feature | Production Studio toggle for webinar setup | Account owners and admins can enable or disable Production Studio for webinars through a toggle switch in event setup. When disabled, the feature allows integration with third-party production tools while still broadcasting through Zoom Webinars. Previously, Production Studio was automatically enabled when one or more scenes were created. This toggle provides webinar producers with the flexibility to use their preferred professional production applications. This feature must be enabled by Zoom. | Web portal |
| Events features |
|---|
| New or enhanced feature | Production Studio Gallery Scene automatically hides panelists with cameras off | Production Studio Gallery Scenes automatically display only participants with active video feeds, creating professional broadcast compositions for live events. Event Producers don't need to manually manage layouts or compromise on visual quality when panelists turn their cameras on or off during broadcasts. The filtering functionality updates scene compositions in real-time, ensuring that only video-enabled participants appear in the produced output. This new standard behavior applies automatically to all Gallery Scenes without requiring configuration settings or toggles. | Web portal |
| General features |

| New or enhanced feature | Reduced stream key expiration time for webinars | Stream keys for RTMPS expire 4 hours after the scheduled end time of webinars, replacing the previous 4-day expiration period. When a webinar ends before its scheduled end time, the stream key will still expire 4 hours after the originally scheduled end time. If a webinar runs longer than scheduled, the expiration time automatically resets to 4 hours after the actual end time. This enhancement provides improved security by significantly reducing the window of potential unauthorized access to streaming credentials. | Web portal |
| Host features |
|---|
| New or enhanced feature | Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) datacenter location visibility | Hosts can view the specific datacenter locations for their primary and secondary RTMP streams in the metrics panel. This information shows which Zoom datacenter locations the stream connects to when establishing the media stream connection. The feature provides visibility into both primary and backup stream routing to help hosts understand their stream's geographic distribution. This transparency allows hosts to better evaluate their streaming redundancy and connection paths. | Web portal |
| New or enhanced feature | Enhancements to webinar templates with alternative host support | Hosts can add alternative hosts to webinar templates and have them automatically applied when scheduling new webinars. Alternative hosts that are configured in the original webinar will be saved as part of the template. When users apply the template to create a new webinar, the alternative hosts will be automatically populated, eliminating the need to remember to add them manually. This feature streamlines the webinar scheduling process by preserving all host configurations within templates.Note: This feature is scheduled for release shortly after October 20 and may not be available at this time. | Web portal |
| New or enhanced feature | Enhancements to webinar host emails with calendar files | Hosts and alternative hosts receive ICS calendar files in their webinar email notifications. Previously, ICS files were only included in attendee webinar emails but were missing from host and alternative host communications. When hosts and alternative hosts receive webinar emails, the messages will include ICS calendar files that can be imported into their calendar applications. | Web portal |
| New or enhanced feature | Automated poll scheduling for simulive webinars | Event organizers can schedule polls to automatically appear at specific times during simulive webinars. They can set the exact timing for when polls are pushed to attendees, specify when polls disappear, and schedule when poll results are shared after the poll ends. | Web portal |
| User features |
|---|
| New or enhanced feature | Enhancements to webinar start time messaging | Users viewing webinar details will see unified and grammatically correct text strings for webinar start times. The system displays consistent date and time formatting whether users are viewing regular webinars or simulive webinars. Same-day webinars show only the start time, while webinars scheduled for future dates include the day and date information. The updated verbiage clearly distinguishes simulive webinars while maintaining formatting consistency. This improvement provides users with clearer, more professional webinar scheduling information. | Web portal |
| New or enhanced feature | Enhancements to webinar email unsubscribe experience | Users can unsubscribe from webinar emails through an improved experience that removes personal details from email footers and provides clearer context. When users click the unsubscribe link in webinar emails, they are directed to a dedicated page that explains which account they are receiving emails from and allows them to unsubscribe from that specific account's webinar communications. Users also have the option to globally unsubscribe from all Zoom webinar emails, with clear explanations of what this action includes. Confirmation emails are sent after successful unsubscription, and users can easily resubscribe if needed. | Web portal |
