Automatic Focus Mode and Workspace Reservations are among the new capabilities added by Zoom. Here’s a closer look
With Zoom’s December upgrade, you’ll be able to book office space, send video messages, share cloud recordings, and even use the app on your Amazon TV.
With its most recent version, Zoom has included some new functions. Users will be able to book an in-office meeting room, exchange cloud recordings, and send video emails.
Zoom Meetings are online meetings that take place over the internet.
Hosts will have more control over meetings now that they may schedule Zoom meetings with Focus Mode enabled from the beginning, reducing participant distractions. Preferred ‘Gallery Views’ can also be saved to each individual meeting ID, allowing the host to load presets rather than having to change the camera placement in every meeting, saving time.
Zoom Video Chat
Missed video calls will now be shown in a convenient location in your conversation, allowing you to easily verify what you’ve missed. You can also get to the channel or meeting by clicking on the notification. GIFs will now be displayed in your message box, and movies set using Zoom Chat will now be saved locally on your mobile devices for the convenience of access.
Users will be able to book workspaces using an interactive map that can be accessed on-site or remotely with Zoom Rooms Workspace Reservation. Later this month, the update will be made available for public beta testing.
For Mac and Windows users, the platform now supports “local-only screen share.” Previously, the capability was only available on Zoom Rooms Appliances, which let the host to share their notes and screen with an in-room (locally present) individual while keeping it hidden from other participants. This will be accomplished on the new platforms via an HDMI connection.
Zoom for Home is a paid service that now supports the iPad, giving consumers a versatile, space-saving device for their remote or on-site workspaces. In addition, the business is working with Neat Devices to develop a new portrait-oriented frame/tablet that will take up less space in your home while providing excellent sound.
Additionally, Amazon Fire TV owners will be able to download the app and make Zoom calls from their living room, however, video calling will require a 1080p webcam.
Users can now send video mails from their mobile devices, which will be delivered to the recipient’s voicemail inbox. Other upgrades include privacy options for Outlook and Google Calendar connections, which allow the host to mark meeting and scheduling details as private.
They can also share or provide external access to cloud recordings, eliminating stakeholder friction.
