Software-update: Zoom 5.16.0

Versie 5.16 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 de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:

Changes to existing features
  • User requests for enabling Team Chat Compose and Thread SummaryPaid users on eligible paid plans (may not be available for select verticals and regional customers) may be able to see the Zoom AI Companion chat compose and thread summary options within the Team Chat UI, even if the account admin has not enabled it. If these options are visible but not enabled, users can request admin enablement. Account admins can control the visibility of these enablement options through web settings. By default, these features will be visible to users in Team Chat.
    • General features
  • Additional MSI/PLIST/GPO/MDM optionsDisable Zoom Notes for Meetings - DisableInMeetingZoomNotesDisabled by default, admins can control the use of Zoom Notes during Zoom Meetings.
  • Disable Zoom Notes for Meetings - DisableInMeetingZoomNotesDisabled by default, admins can control the use of Zoom Notes during Zoom Meetings.
  • Keyboard shortcuts for desktop client tab navigationNew keyboard shortcuts are added to the desktop client, making it easier for users to quickly switch between Zoom product tabs. Additionally, the Windows desktop client is getting a General section in the Keyboard Shortcuts section, which includes the new options below and a few other shortcuts, relocated from other sections. The following shortcuts are added to the Keyboard Shortcuts section of the client Settings page:Ctrl+Tab: Move to the next tabCtrl+Shift+Tab: Move to the previous tabCtrl+1 through Ctrl+8 : Move to a specific tabCtrl+9: Move to the last tab
  • Ctrl+Tab: Move to the next tab
  • Ctrl+Shift+Tab: Move to the previous tab
  • Ctrl+1 through Ctrl+8 : Move to a specific tab
  • Ctrl+9: Move to the last tab
  • Max bandwidth for Zoom Mesh parent-devicesTo better adapt to weaker networks, each parent device is limited to a maximum bandwidth, which, when exceeded by child devices, triggers the parent device to connect to no additional child devices. For ethernet connections, the maximum bandwidth is 60 MBPS, and 15 MBPS for wifi connections. This has no effect on the setting for maximum bandwidth per attendee.
    • Meeting/webinar features
  • Annotation toolbar redesignWhen annotating on a shared desktop or specific window, the annotation toolbar is redesigned to improve usability and reduce the screen space used by that toolbar. The toolbar is slimmed down and will snap to the nearest edge of the screen, orienting either vertically or horizontally.
  • Q&A usability enhancementThreaded comments to submitted questions in Q&A are capped at displaying 2 comments before they are hidden behind a View More option. This aims to make reading submitted questions and their responses easier by reducing how other questions and expanding threads affect each other in the Q&A window.
  • Window merge-in enhancementsSide panels, such as the in-meeting chat and participants panels, can be easily popped out from the main meeting/webinar window for ease of use, and with these updates, they are even easier to merge back into the meeting/webinar window. Additionally, the Q&A window for meetings and webinars can be merged into the main window. Previously it was only possible to close or minimize the Q&A window, not merge it into the main meeting/webinar window.
  • Captioning controls redesignThe in-meeting/in-webinar captioning controls are redesigned to make captioning options easier and more intuitive to enable and adjust. Host controls are clearly separated from other controls available to all participants and some settings are renamed slightly to be more clear to users.
  • Enhanced manual captioning UIThe window where captions are manually entered more clearly indicates that captions appear for meeting participants or webinar attendees as the captioner types, rather than when hitting the Enter key.
    • Meeting features
  • In-meeting chat history without CMCIn-meeting chat history will be visible to all participants, even if participants join late. Previously, chat history from before joining the current meeting was only available when using Continuous Meeting Chat. This feature must be enabled by Zoom and is enabled for the entire account.
    • Webinar features
  • Support multiple URLs in Webinar ResourcesWebinar resources can display multiple resource links at a time during a Webinar. When multiple links are enabled during the Webinar, attendees will be able to scroll through the links that the host enabled. This allows the presenter or host to provide a diverse range of supplementary materials, such as slides, handouts, reference documents, and relevant URLs.
    • Team Chat features
  • Custom emojisUsers can create their own emojis, adding a personal flair to their conversations. All members in the user's organization can see and use these custom emojis in Team Chat conversations and reactions. Admins can view all uploaded emojis, including the uploader’s name and email address, upload date, and emoji name. Admins can also remove any emojis directly from the web portal. By default, custom emojis are enabled and all users can upload their own, but admins can also limit emoji creation through account settings by choosing whether all users in the organization can create emojis or only the admin(s) and specific users can create emojis.
  • Scheduled messagesScheduled messages improve custom workflows and productivity in Team Chat, giving users the ability to schedule messages for future delivery. Users can also delay sending messages until the recipient’s work hours, showing courtesy and ensuring the message appears at the top of the recipient’s inbox. Previously, users had to choose between waiting to send messages (even if it meant working beyond their usual hours) or potentially disrupting the recipient.
  • Drafted messages listed in Drafts tabDrafted messages are conveniently listed and accessible through a new Drafts tab within the Team Chat side panel.
  • Add Activity Center Cards for emoji reactions in chat messagesAn activity center card for emoji reactions in chat messages is being added to enhance communication and engagement within Team Chat. This will serve as a centralized hub, making it effortless for users to track and understand emoji reactions to their messages across various chat groups and channels.
  • Team Chat Thread Summary with Zoom AI CompanionTeam Chat users can use Zoom AI Companion to help summarize a chat thread and quickly catch up on the discussion without having to read each response in the thread.
  • Add timestamp to the lists of existing chats in a dropdownWhen a user initiates a new group chat with the same members, the user will see a timestamp indicating the last message sent in each existing chat with identical membership. The timestamp will allow users to easily distinguish between multiple group chats featuring the same members. This way, users can quickly identify which chat is most relevant or contains the information they're looking for.
    • Mail and Calendar features
  • Add a reply messageWhen users RSVP to an event, they have the option to add a reply note to inform the host why they can or cannot attend the event. Additionally, users can include a reply message when they propose a new time for an event. This feature is available for Microsoft, Google, and Zoom calendars.
  • Compose or refine emails with Zoom AI CompanionUsers can access Zoom AI Companion for Mail to enter a prompt and generate emails. When responding to an email thread, users can generate an email using information from the thread and/or an inputted prompt. Users can enable or disable the Zoom AI Companion for Mail integration.
  • Support for the Important labelUsers can view and filter emails that are important. They can also mark or unmark emails as important as well as arrange inbox sections into Important/Everything Else. Currently, only Gmail supports this feature.
  • Updates to outdated eventsUsers will always see the event details whenever they click the event invitation email. Previously, Zoom Mail displayed the following message for outdated events: “This invitation is out of date.”
  • Use dropdown menu to switch between calendarsUsers can leverage the Zoom Calendar dropdown menu to easily switch between multiple calendars. Previously, users had to switch calendars in the Zoom Mail tab's Settings dropdown menu.
  • Propose a new meeting timeUsers have the option to propose a new time that works better for them when they view events on their calendar. This feature is only supported for Zoom and Outlook service calendar clients. Note: This will not be available for Google Calendar.
  • Enable Switch & Join in sidebar and calendar viewThe Switch and Join button is enabled for users in the Zoom Calendar sidebar and main calendar view. Users can switch between concurrent events. Previously, when users joined an event, the join button was disabled for other concurrent events.
  • Email all guests in calendar inviteWhen composing an email, a user can email all guests in a calendar invite. The user can also select and remove individual guests from the mail list.
  • Updates to Zoom Calendar scheduler attendee listThe time selector and attendee list have been updated. The attendee list is moved to the right side and is scrollable.
    • Phone features
  • Incoming call focusIf enabled by their admin, users have the choice to opt for either permitting incoming calls to take focus or maintaining their ongoing focus. Existing users will experience no alteration in their behavior after the feature release, with incoming calls prioritizing focus over the application being used. New users will find that the default setting preserves the focus on the application in use when a call is received.
    • Contact Center features
  • Select camera, speaker and micWhile in a video engagement, agents and consumers can select the specific camera, speaker and microphone they want to use.
  • Video waiting room drop-inSupervisors can drop in to the video waiting room to video chat with a consumer that is waiting. This allows supervisors to assist the consumer that is waiting for an agent. Account owners and admins can customize which roles have access to drop-ins. They can also view the number of drop-ins.
  • UI enhancements to video experienceThe performance and layout of the video display in video engagements has been enhanced. Agents and consumers can also set the video layout to speaker or gallery view, and hide their own self-view video.
