Zoom Update – Helpful New Features in Latest Zoom Meetings Client

by ·Comments Off on Zoom Update – Helpful New Features in Latest Zoom Meetings Client

Zoom is regularly making updates to add features and improve security. The most recent updates to the Zoom Zoom Meetings client (aka desktop app) provide hosts with greater ability to control what they see AND what participants see with these new features…

  • Multi-pin and Multi-spotlight: With host permission, users can pin up to 9 participants on their end. The host can also spotlight up to 9 participants for everyone in their meeting.
  • Custom Gallery View Organization: Hosts and co-hosts can now re-order the gallery view to suit their needs, and choose whether to deploy this view to participants, or allow participants to create their own custom views. Simply click and drag videos to the position you want them in gallery view, and this layout will remain in place until released.

To access these and other recently added Zoom features, you will need to be on the latest version of the Zoom desktop app (5.2.3). To check your version, open the Zoom desktop app (found in the Apps list on Windows and in the Applications folder on Mac) and click your profile icon in the top right and choose Check for Updates. If an update is available, please install it. For step-by-step instructions, see the Denison Zoom guide.
