This provides users with easy access to stay informed about new features and improvements.Web portal
Integration features
New or enhanced featureVideo on demand registration supportHosts can enable registration for video on demand channels through integration with Salesforce campaigns. When a video channel is published in Zoom Events, a corresponding Salesforce campaign is automatically created. Attendees can register for video channels using hosted Zoom forms, and their registration data syncs to the linked Salesforce campaign. Hosts can map registration fields from the video channel within Salesforce using existing event mapping capabilities. The feature follows the same contact and lead linking logic as live events, allowing mapped fields to populate or update based on form submission data. This integration enables customers to adopt video on demand solutions while maintaining their existing Salesforce workflow for lead management.Web portal
New or enhanced featureVideo on demand attendance tracking in SalesforceVideo on demand channels can sync attendance and engagement data with Salesforce using the same integration available for live events. When users watch recordings in a video channel, the system generates attendee objects for each video viewed and links them to the main video channel. Users can submit questions and poll responses during video playback, which sync to the linked response objects using the same format as live events. The system follows existing linking logic to connect data with Salesforce contacts or leads. This enables consistent tracking and reporting across both live and on-demand event experiences.Web portal
New or enhanced featureAllow list API support for VODDevelopers can programmatically manage access allow lists through new CRUD API endpoints for Video On Demand channels and events. The APIs support creating, reading, updating, and deleting allow lists that control registration and access permissions. Administrators can add or remove individual email addresses and entire domains through the API endpoints.API
Licensing features
New or enhanced featureEnhancements to metering transparency across plan and event pagesUsers can access clear explanations of capacity metering rules directly within their event planning workflow on both Plan details and Event configuration pages. The feature distinguishes between different event types, showing that:
  • Single and Recurring session events count each session attendance separately.
  • Multi-session events count lobby visits and any session participation.
  • Paid Events count attendees upon registration regardless of actual attendance.
Event-specific metering information appears contextually during event configuration to provide relevant guidance at the point of setup. This transparency helps users make informed decisions when planning events and managing attendee capacity.
Web portal
Ticketing features
New or enhanced featureTicketing as a feature for single session eventsHosts can enable an optional ticketing system for single session events that have an event page.
  • When ticketing is enabled, hosts can create multiple offers (ticket types) with custom access rules, use promo codes, and set advanced registration settings.
  • When disabled, a simplified registration flow with a single price field is used for paid events.
Ticketing will be default disabled for single session events similar to how Webinar functions.
Web portal
New or enhanced featureRemoval of geo-blocking warning messagesUsers will no longer see warning messages about join-time geo-blocking restrictions on registration pages and confirmation emails. The core geo-blocking functionality that prevents users from completing registration in specified countries remains fully intact.Web portal
Video On Demand features
New or enhanced featureReplace recordings for customer managed key enabled accountsUsers can replace event recordings when customer managed key (CMK) encryption is enabled on their accounts. The Replace Recording option becomes available once the original recording's CMK encryption process has completed. Users can upload a new video file that automatically gets encrypted using the same CMK associated with the original event. During the replacement and re-encryption process, the recording status updates to show it is temporarily unavailable for playback. Account admins can specify the replacing capability by recording type and grant the capability to select users in their account. This feature removes unnecessary restrictions and enables recording replacement for CMK-enabled customers.Web portal
New or enhanced featureEnhancements to VOD API embed script thumbnail linksDevelopers can access permanent thumbnail links through the VOD API embed scripts. The API generates embed scripts that include permanently valid URLs for custom thumbnails selected by hosts, replacing the previous temporary links that would expire and default to generic images. The new permanent links match those used by the native Zoom Events website VOD player, ensuring visual consistency across all platforms. The implementation maintains backward compatibility with existing integrations while eliminating the need for manual script corrections. This enhancement ensures that custom thumbnails display correctly in embedded content without expiration or manual intervention.API
Webinar features
New or enhanced featureToggle Production Studio on or off for webinarsAccount 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
New or enhanced featureEnhancements to webinar scheduling display consistencyUsers 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 featureEnhancements to webinar email unsubscribe experienceUsers 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
New or enhanced featureEnhancements to video scene uploads with aspect ratio guidanceWebinar hosts see supporting text when uploading videos to video scenes in Production Studio. The guidance recommends uploading videos in 16:9 aspect ratio for optimal display quality. Videos that don't match this aspect ratio will display with black bars on the sides, known as pillar boxing. This enhancement helps hosts understand video requirements and avoid display issues during their webinars.Web portal
New or enhanced featureEnhancements to stream key expiration timingStream keys for RTMPS now 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
New or enhanced featureDisplay datacenter locations for RTMP streamsHosts 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 featureAutomated polls for simulive webinarsEvent 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

New or enhanced featureEnhancements to hub team management with CSV upload for licensed hostsAccount owners and admins can use CSV upload to add licensed hosts to their hub in batches, improving the efficiency of team management. This feature extends the existing CSV upload functionality that was previously only available for free hosts. When uploading a CSV file, the system verifies that each host has the proper licensing before adding them to the hub. If some hosts in the CSV file lack proper licensing, the system will still successfully add all properly licensed hosts while displaying error messages for those that could not be added. This enhancement significantly speeds up the process of adding multiple licensed team members to maximize collaboration flexibility.Web portal

This alignment with core meeting capabilities eliminates the previous workflow that required manual support team intervention for meetings exceeding 1000 capacity.Web portal
New or enhanced featureEnhancements to concurrency settings for eventsHosts can see more accurate information about event concurrency in the event listing page. The updated copy clarifies that a hub can host one event per the license status. When setting up an event, the default capacity is now set to match the hub's linked license capacity rather than automatically using the highest available capacity. Users can still adjust this capacity based on their concurrent license status. A new disclaimer provides additional context about capacity settings during event setup. These improvements reduce confusion and help users better understand their concurrency limitations.Web portal
New or enhanced featureChanges to Webinars premium features and capacity rulesUsers with both a larger Zoom Webinars license and a lower-capacity Zoom Webinars Plus / Zoom Events license can choose between higher attendee capacity with standard features or premium features at lower capacity when scheduling webinars.

Webinar features
New or enhanced featureGallery view scene added to Production Studio for enhanced webinar customizationUsers can add a gallery view scene in Production Studio, allowing them to display more video tiles simultaneously during webinars. Previously, Production Studio only supported spotlighting up to 9 video tiles, but this enhancement enables users to show a gallery view with additional participant videos visible. This new scene type provides greater flexibility for webinar producers who need to showcase multiple participants at once. The gallery view scene helps create more dynamic and inclusive webinar experiences by allowing more participants to be visible on screen.Web portal
New or enhanced featureEnhancements to webinar HD video settingsAccount owners and admins can benefit from improved webinar HD video settings that apply 720p as the default when enabled at the account level. Previously, even when admins enabled 720p for webinars, hosts had to manually select this option during scheduling, often missing this step. With this update, accounts with only 720p enabled will automatically apply this resolution to all webinars without showing a scheduling option.

Accounts with both 720p and 1080p can manage each resolution separately, with 720p applied automatically when enabled, while 1080p remains an opt-in choice during scheduling. This update standardizes HD video settings to behave like other web settings, reducing confusion and ensuring intended video quality is consistently delivered.
Web portal
New or enhanced featureEnhancements to simulive delay start timeThe maximum delay start time has been reduced from 10 minutes to 5 minutes, giving hosts more precise control over when their events begin.

When syncing between OTP and Zoom identities, users are directed to authenticate through the relevant method. After consolidation, the system maintains the highest security authentication state, with Zoom taking priority over OTP and No-auth methods. This prevents users from missing out on special role permissions and ensures consistent access across all authorized sessions.Web portal
