As you might have noticed, we have added some webinar features in our recent update. This includes registrations, session recording, a new plugin for WebRTC-unsupported browsers, phone audio enhancements, improved connection speed and stability and some bug fixes.

Introducing Registrations for Webinars

You can now invite participants to register for your meeting/webinar. Enable registration when scheduling a webinar, post the registration link on your website or blog to attract more participants, and export and track the list of registered participants. Once registered, participants can join the webinar using the link sent to their email address.

Audio and Screen Recording

You can now record your meeting/webinar from the browser-based presenter toolbar. Once you are connected to computer audio and have started sharing your screen, you can begin recording the webinar. You can share the recorded webinar with your participants using the replay link sent to your email address. 

Introducing new plugin for WebRTC unsupported browsers

Because we are moving towards browser-based screen sharing, which uses WebRTC technology, and some browsers like IE and Safari have yet to support this, we have introduced a one-time downloadable plugin to host the webinar.

Improved connection speed and stability

We have extended the turn servers in four more regions to improve connection speed and reliability. We have also implemented dedicated monitoring systems to enhance the stability of connection and conferencing.

Enhancements made for phone audio

We have extended the phone audio dial-in numbers to five more regions: New Zealand, Ireland, Israel, Italy, and Belgium. To improve readability, we have also used region-specific numbering formats for the dial-in numbers.

Other enhancements

• We have made some tweaks to the Meet Now flow from Zoho CRM.
• Upcoming meetings can now be cancelled, while the same option has been removed from past meetings.
• Moved to latest security milestone.
