[Release notes for Web]

Improvements

  • Administrator features
    • Chat Etiquette Tool
      Account owners and admins can create Chat Etiquette policies to identify defined keywords or text patterns/regular expressions (such as account numbers) and then determine what action occurs when a policy is triggered. When a user attempts to send a message through Zoom Chat and/or in-meeting and webinar chat that triggers a Chat Etiquette policy, the user is either warned or blocked from sending the message. Chat Etiquette policies are configured at the account level, and can be activated at the account or group level. Admins can create up to 50 policies on the account. This feature requires client version 5.6.0 or higher.
    • Bulk update SSO users' email addresses
      Account owners and users with proper role permissions for editing user information can bulk update email addresses for users with the SSO login type through CSV file import. This feature must be enabled by Zoom.
    • View Children's Education Status reporting for all sub-accounts
      Account owners and admins on bulk license accounts can easily view a report that shows the Children's Education Status information for all of their sub-accounts.
    • Support for archiving configuration settings at the group level
      Account owners and admins can set archiving configurations at the group level. Previously, archiving configurations were only available at the account level.
    • Data center for dial-in and call out numbers
      When account owners or admins customize the dial-in numbers available for meetings, they can see the associated data center regions that are used to route calls. In addition, when customizing the call out numbers available for meetings, the list of available countries/regions is no longer impacted by the account's enabled data centers.
    • Currency in usage reports
      Account owners and admins can see the associated currency they are billed in when viewing audio conferencing usage reports. Previously, all amounts were displayed in US dollars.
    • Control email notifications for recording transcription
      Account owners and admins can control if email notifications are sent when cloud recording transcriptions are done processing. This setting is available at the account, group, and user level; and can be locked at the account or group level. This setting is also enabled by default.
    • Support for Gesture Recognition
      Account owners and admins can enable or disable Gesture Recognition, which allows for visual hand gestures, such as a raised hand, to automatically display a corresponding meeting reaction. This feature currently supports Raise Hand and Thumbs Up reactions and requires client version 5.10.3 or higher. This setting can be enabled at the account, group, or user level; and can be locked at the account or group level. This setting is disabled at the client level by default.
    • Enable/disable chat on H.323/SIP room systems
      Account owners and admins can enable or disable if meeting chat is visible on room system displays. This setting is available at the account level in the H.323/SIP configuration page.
    • Separate settings for manual and auto-generated captions
      Account owners and admins can enable or disable manual captions and auto-generated captions (live transcription) separately. Admins might want to turn off manual captions as it can be a way for users to potentially "chat" during a meeting. Previously, these two features were controlled using one setting.
    • View breakout room activities from main session
      Account owners and admins can enable a breakout room to allow hosts to view the level of activity in each open breakout room. Hosts and co-hosts can quickly view participants' audio and video status, if they are sharing their screen, and any active reactions or nonverbal feedback. Once enabled, participants are notified before they join the breakout room that their activity status is shared with the host and any co-hosts. This setting is available at the account, group, and user levels. This feature requires hosts and participants to have client version 5.10.3 or higher for activity statuses to appear.
    • Customizable user questionnaires in Workspace reservation
      Account owners and admins can enable and create a Reservation Questionnaire and a Pre-Check In Questionnaire for employees to answer when using Workspace reservation. The Reservation Questionnaire is presented to users when making a reservation, while the Pre-Check In Questionnaire is emailed to users a set amount of time prior to the start of their reservation. Admins can set up the questionnaires at the account level or subsequent location levels.
    • Workspaces dashboard
      Account owners and admins can access the Workspaces dashboard to view and download metrics associated with Workspace reservations. Metrics include reservations made, questionnaire results, check-in rates, workspace utilization, and popular rooms and desks.
  • User features
    • Enhancement to Waiting Room participants order
      Hosts can choose to sort participants in the Waiting Room in chronological or alphabetical order. This is available in the list of Waiting Room Options at the account, group, and user levels, and requires desktop client version 5.10.3 or higher.
    • Central library of polls
      Users can manage a central library of polls for meetings. They can create or edit polls and use them for Personal Meeting ID (PMI) and non-PMI meetings. Previously, polls for PMI and non-PMI meetings were managed separately. When a poll is marked as available to all meetings, it will appear in the list of polls that can be launched in a meeting. This new central repository will not replace the existing "Personal Meeting (PMI) polls"; polls created here will only appear in PMI meetings.

This new central repository will not replace the existing "Personal Meeting (PMI) polls", instead polls created here will only appear in PMI meetings.
    • View Breakout Rooms activities from main session
      Hosts can get an idea of how active their breakout rooms are by viewing the list of open breakout rooms. Each participant in those breakout rooms will show their current video and audio status, if they are sharing their screen, and any active reactions or nonverbal feedback.
