Release notes for Web

New, enhanced, and changed features

• Remove Merge Meetings and Calendar tabs toggle
  The web setting to merge the Meetings and Calendar tabs has been removed from the Zoom web portal. For Zoom Workplace app version 6.2.0 and higher, the tabs are now permanently merged to enhance visibility of calendar views and meeting details. This update allows for easier access to upcoming meetings, invitee information, shared materials, and past meeting assets like recordings and chats. If your Zoom Workplace app version is lower than 6.2.0 and you have the Merge Meetings and Calendar tabs toggle disabled prior to September 16, 2024, you will still see separate tabs for Meetings and Calendar. Once you upgrade to version 6.2.0, the Calendar and Meetings tab will merge, and you won't have the option to return to separate tabs.

Admin features

• Support number management for SMS in meetings
  Account owners and admins can provision and assign phone numbers for their account to be used for SMS in meetings. They can enable local or international SMS where available, and control access to SMS use in meetings with this common account-based phone number.
• Participant profile cards displayed by default in meetings
  For all accounts, the Show participants profile card in a meeting setting default status will be changed to ON by default. This setting is responsible for allowing participants to see other participants' profile cards in a meeting. Account owners and admins can still modify this setting as they would prefer.
• Combined report for meetings, webinars, and active host usage
  Account owners and admins can access a unified report that combines data from the previously separate Meeting, Webinar, and Active Host reports. This new report additionally includes features used across different event types, enabling admins to analyze and compare data from a single source. The meeting and webinar registrations now appear as a separate report. Access to the original active hosts, meetings, and webinars reports will still be available until January 1, 2025. This feature will be rolling out to accounts over the next months.
• Allow Zoom Rooms to become the host if they join before meeting host
  Account owners and admins can control whether a Zoom Room may automatically take the host role in meetings before the host or other participants join. A new setting, Allow Zoom Rooms to become the host if they join before meeting host and other participants , is added and is available at the Account, Groups, and User level settings. If enabled, Zoom Rooms configured to Make Zoom Rooms the host if it joins before meeting host and other participants will be permitted to assume the host role if they join before the meeting host and other participants.
• Ability to pre-approve users for automatic local recording
  Account owners and admins can configure settings to automatically grant internal and/or external meeting participants permission to record meeting content to their computers without needing the host to approve those requests during the meeting. The new Auto approve their permission requests setting is available at the account, group, and user level and is disabled by default. Previously, Zoom only allows hosts to grant permission for users to record, requiring host intervention before a recording can start.

User features

• - Manage signed-in devices and sessions
  From both the Zoom Workplace app and the Web Portal, users can manage devices and sessions where they are logged in, with the ability to log out of individual devices or log out of all devices and sessions. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend server update currently scheduled for September 23, 2024.
• Enhancements to calendar and meeting data synchronization
  The Show invitations for meetings I've been added to as an attendee setting has been renamed to Show Zoom meetings I'm invited to when no other calendar is connected .If enabled, Zoom meetings users are invited to will be visible in their Zoom Workplace app even if they don't have third-party calendar connections (Google, Exchange, Office 365). Once a calendar is connected, the setting will be disabled and meeting invites on their calendar will automatically display within their Zoom Workplace app. This setting is to ensure users can view invited Zoom meetings accurately on their calendars and the Zoom Workplace app. This update ensures consistency across interfaces and enhances the scheduling experience.
