New features coming to Zoom
Zoom’s latest update for its iPhone app also adds multiple new features to the video-calling platform. These features include:
All screens mode: This mode will allow the host to request all participants share their screen to present the host with a scrollable side-by-side view of the participants and their shared desktop(s). This feature is designed to provide a more streamlined and straightforward proctoring experience, focused on seeing both the participant video and their desktop share. When activating during a meeting, the host can also choose to allow participants to also view all shared desktops. Admins can control the use of this feature with account and group level settings, with hosts also being able to enable this for individual meetings as well.
Auto-move to/from Waiting Room: Admins will have additional Waiting Room customisation options that will allow them to automatically move participants to the Waiting Room if the host or alternative host leaves, as well as automatically admit those participants back into the meeting when the host or alternative host returns. Upon leaving the meeting, the host will be notified that the participants have been moved, and the participants will remain in the Waiting Room to wait for a host to return. This feature supports up to 50 participants in the Waiting Room.
Apart from this, Zoom also rolled out some minor features and bug fixes with its latest update.
