V 2.5: Webinar: Introducing registration form customization, Online Meeting: Introducing moderator controls, lock meeting, and a lot more.

Hello There,

 

We're constantly rolling out new features and enhancements in Zoho Meeting. Here are a list of new features and enhancements rolled out in this month (July 2018).

 

New updates in webinar solution:

Introducing customize registration form

Now add predefined fields or custom fields to your webinar registration form. Get more information from your webinar registrants before-hand and understand your leads better. All these can be viewed by the webinar organizer from the registrants' report. Learn more on what you can do with custom registration form.


New-look for webinar registration page

We have also redesigned the registration page to have a fresh and new-look along with the custom registration form. The registrants can now view the time of the webinar scheduled in their local timezone along with the scheduled timezone. 


Webinar thank you email

We have now added the automated follow-up email for the webinar attendees thanking them for attending the webinar. 

 


 

New updates in online meeting solution:

Zoho Contacts synced with Zoho Meeting

Zoho Contacts is now synced with Zoho Meeting and it gets listed as autosuggest in invite participant while scheduling meeting. The participants invited for a meeting will also be added to your Zoho Contacts.

Introducing lock meeting

Host private meetings by locking the meeting using the Lock Meeting option on the left panel in the Presenter app. The participants can then knock and join the meeting only after the presenter's approval. The presenter can choose to accept or reject the participant from joining the meeting. 



Introducing moderator control for audio

The presenter can now take control of their web meeting's audio. Mute the participant with some background noise and make the meeting smooth. Mute individuals or all the participants during the meeting (the participant will be able to unmute themselves if desired). 


Remove participants from meeting

The meeting presenter can now remove any participant and disconnect them from the meeting using the 'Remove' option beside the participant in the Attendee List.
