TypeFeature titleDescriptionPlatforms
Changed featureChaperone exception for information barriersWhen creating an Information Barrier policy, account owners and admins can also designate user groups with chaperone permissions. The chaperone permissions allow the users to host meetings where participants from different information barrier groups can join together. Multiple chaperones can be present in a meeting. As long as a chaperone is present in the meeting, users from otherwise restricted groups can participate in the same session. If the chaperone leaves without another qualified chaperone present, users from information barrier groups will automatically be removed from the meeting.Web portal
AI Companion
New or enhanced featureMeeting scheduling conflict resolution with AI CompanionWhen scheduling a meeting, AI Companion can assist the host with resolving time and date conflicts before sending the meeting invite. AI Companion will actively monitor participant availability, identifies optimal meeting times, and coordinates with conflicting invitees via email or team chat to find suitable alternatives. Hosts receive notifications when their input is needed and can track coordination progress through the AI Companion panel.Windows

General features
New or enhanced featureEnhancements to joining personal meeting roomsUsers can join personal meeting rooms more efficiently when multiple users share the same personal link name. When there is no overlap in personal link names, users directly join the personal meeting ID (PMI). If an overlap exists with a user in the same account, they can choose to join that specific PMI or enter a full URL/meeting ID for a different one. For overlapping personal link names outside their account, users can enter either the full URL or meeting ID to join the correct meeting. This improvement helps users avoid joining incorrect meetings while protecting privacy and account information.Windows

New or enhanced featureSupport 5G network slicing for meetingsUsers connecting to Zoom Meetings on Android devices can leverage 5G network slicing technology for superior video performance. The feature helps maintain sustained connectivity in both light and dense environments, from cell tower proximity to edge coverage areas. This implementation matches existing iOS capabilities that use mobile device management for high-priority applications. The feature operates transparently with cellular rate plans and requires no user intervention.

  • A cellular service provider subscription is required.

New or enhanced featureEnhancement to camera anchor in Vision ProUsers joining meetings through Vision Pro can maintain consistent eye contact with meeting participants through an improved camera anchor system. The camera anchor remains fixed to the main meeting window that displays participant views, even when switching between multiple windows.

This enhancement leverages Apple's latest cameraAnchor API for visionOS to deliver more engaging and realistic virtual interactions.visionOS

In-meeting features
New or enhanced featureHost controls for managing participant speaking languages and translationsMeeting hosts can adjust the speaking language settings for any individual participant when any participant in the meeting has Translations enabled. When Translations is active, participants retain their own speaking language settings, which can sometimes conflict with default caption language updates.

This feature helps hosts resolve situations where transcriptions become inaccurate due to mismatched language settings, improving the overall translation and captioning experience for all participants.Windows

The updated Share modal features clearer layout options to help users apply a presenter layout to any type of screen share. The presenter toolbar has a new layout button and modal to help presenters adjust or add a presenter layout to an existing screen share. The three-dot menu for each share tab in the meeting window provides an additional way to manage layouts during active sharing sessions. These improvements make it easier for users to enhance their presentations with professional-looking layouts when they start a screen share or while presenting.
Note : The ability to adjust the presenter layout from the screen share preview image on the presenter toolbar has been removed, and the updated presenter layout feature in the Share modal cannot be hidden.

The toolbar's behavior adapts based on display settings, maintaining separation from video tiles in always-on mode or allowing overlay in fade mode. This enhancement delivers a more balanced and visually appealing gallery view.iOS
