Software-update: Zoom 5.14.10

Versie 5.14.10 van de videoconferencingsoftware Zoom is uitgekomen. Dit programma maakt het mogelijk om onder meer onlinevergaderingen, conferenties en colleges bij te wonen. Het is verkrijgbaar voor de gangbaarste besturingssystemen en is beschikbaar in een gratis en betaalde uitvoering met meer mogelijkheden. Het programma is sinds kort ook in het Nederlands te gebruiken. In deze uitgave zijn enkele beveiligingsproblemen en kleine niet nader omschreven fouten verholpen.

Changes to existing features
  • Desktop client dropdown menu consolidationThe dropdown menu, located in the top-right corner of the desktop client, has been enhanced to consolidate the various options. Non-essential items are removed, some options accessed through sub-menus, and the order of menu items was adjusted. Lastly, the option to switch between portrait and landscape views will be removed, although still accessible through keyboard shortcuts.
  • Show meeting controls settingThe Always show meeting control setting will be permanently available in the client, regardless of whether it is enabled or disabled in the web portal. The web setting will no longer be used to control the availability of this feature in the client, and users will not be able to toggle it on or off through the web portal. Previously, the state of the web setting directly controlled the visibility of the corresponding client setting.
  • General features
  • Support for name pronunciation in Profile cardUsers that have added a description of how to pronounce their name in their Profile page in the Zoom web portal, will have an additional tooltip next to their name in their Profile card, indicating how their name is properly pronounced. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend server update currently scheduled for June 5, 2023.
  • Additional MSI/PLIST/GPO/MDM optionsRemove Sign up option - DisableUserSignUpDisabled by default, this policy allows admins to disable the Sign Up option on the Zoom app, which would otherwise be displayed with Join a Meeting and Sign In options upon opening the Zoom app.
  • Remove Sign up option - DisableUserSignUpDisabled by default, this policy allows admins to disable the Sign Up option on the Zoom app, which would otherwise be displayed with Join a Meeting and Sign In options upon opening the Zoom app.
  • Meeting/webinar features
  • Enhanced captioning control for hosts/co-hostHosts can have greater control of captioning use and the speaking language for the meeting. If enabled in web settings, captions can only be enabled by the host. Participants in the meeting can request captioning be enabled, which prompts the host (and co-hosts) to enable captioning and choose a speaking language. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend server update currently scheduled for June 11, 2023.
  • Zoom IQ Meeting SummaryHosts can initiate an AI generated summarization of the current meeting. This summary is emailed, as well as posted to Team Chat. The ability to receive the meeting summary can be restricted to the host alone, the host along with users on their same account, or extended to all attendees of the meeting, including invitees outside of their organization. All meeting participants will be notified that the summary is being generated, and the meeting host can stop the summary at any time, if necessary. This feature is available as a free trial for Zoom Pro, Zoom Business, Zoom One Business Plus, Zoom One Enterprise, Zoom One Enterprise Plus, and Enterprise Bundle accounts. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend server update currently scheduled for June 5, 2023.
  • Persistent audio channel selectionWhen utilizing multiple audio channel inputs, those selections will be persistent between meetings, removing the need to set these audio preferences each meeting.
  • Meeting features
  • Raise hand enhancementsThe visibility of participants that have raised their hand is enhanced to make it easier for hosts to be aware of raised hands and take action to address that participant. A new notification will appear for those who raised their hand, with the option to immediately open the Participants panel and take action, such as requesting their unmute to ask their question. Users can enable an audio chime through client settings for when someone raises their hand. Lastly, after speaking with your hand raised, Zoom will start a countdown to lower your hand, unless manually canceled by the user. This feature must be enabled by Zoom.
  • Continuous Meeting Chat file and images synchronizationFiles and images shared during the meeting synchronize with the dedicated group chat created for the meeting, allowing participants to access them after the meeting. In the same fashion, files and images shared in the dedicated meeting group chat will synchronize with in-meeting chat.
  • Team Chat features
