Additional MSI/PLIST/GPO/MDM options

Set default service used when click-to-dial - ClickToCallDefaultAllows admins to choose which Zoom service is used when clicking a phone number to place a call. Admins can choose between Zoom Phone (default) and Zoom Contact Center.Set custom update channel - AU2_UpdateChannelCandidatesEmpty by default, admins can define additional update channel options. The format should follow <channel ID>:<channel name>, with multiple channels separated by a semicolon. For example: 0:Slow;1:Fast;3:Private ChannelAny custom channels must be created in the web portal and require the user be authenticated before the custom channel is recognized, otherwise the Slow channel will be used by default. The default Slow and Fast tracks are always available, even if not included in the policy string. This feature must be enabled by Zoom.Restrict Check for Updates to custom update channel version - AU2_LimitManualUpdateVersionDisabled by default, as well as dependent on AU2_EnableAutoUpdate and AU2_EnableManualUpdate policies, this allows a user to manually check for updates to the desktop client, and if their installed version is lower than the version specified by their update channel (Slow, Fast, custom), they will update to that version instead of the latest version available.

Meeting/webinar features

Self enablement of automated captionsMeeting and webinar participants can enable automated captions themselves through in-meeting controls. Previously, participants needed to request captions be enabled. The host can still disable automated captions before the meeting through web settings, or during the meeting through caption settings.Interpreter can move language interpretation windowParticipants assigned to provide audio language interpretation can adjust the location of the window that provides their interpreter controls, to avoid the window obscuring chat notifications.Support for multiple audio input channelsUsers can enable an additional option under client Audio settings, allowing them to select multiple audio inputs.Support for SIP URI redirects to the Zoom desktop appWindows users can click on a SIP URI provided by another service, which can be opened by the Zoom desktop client and invited into the Zoom meeting automatically. This enhancement allows Windows to recognize Zoom as an app that can open SIP URIs, as well as automating the process of opening a Zoom meeting and inviting the SIP connection.Camera-off avatarsVirtual avatars can be enabled and animated based on user speech, even with video disabled.Transfer Zoom App to local Zoom RoomWhen using a Zoom App on the Zoom app, users can transfer that Zoom App to a local Zoom Room. This can only be done when using Zoom Apps outside of a meeting.

Meeting features

Additional enhanced formatting for in-meeting chatMeeting participants can react to messages with emojis and reply in threads to in-meeting chat messages.Continuous meeting chatMeeting hosts can schedule a meeting and invite contacts, which are added to both the calendar event for the meeting and the dedicated Team Chat group chat. This group chat and its messages are accessible before, during, and after the scheduled meeting. This feature must be enabled by Zoom.Create breakout rooms based on poll resultsWhen the Allow host to create breakout rooms from poll results setting is enabled, hosts can choose to create breakout rooms based on the participants’ poll answers. For example, the meeting host may want to split breakout rooms based on participants who share similar interests.Waiting room customization support for imagesThe waiting room can support displaying a full-sized image. Images must be PNG, JPG, GIF and be 1 MB or less. Images should be a minimum of 400x200, and while higher resolutions are supported, we recommend images remain within the 2:1 ratio. Previously, hosts could display a small logo image or a video. This requires your account to have the new join flow, which is currently rolling out to customers.Enhanced access to participant attendance status listAll participants in a meeting can view the participant attendance status. Previously, only the host and co-hosts could view each participants’ RSVP.
