Zoho Meeting Updates: Bug Fixes in Meetings and Webinars, and Desktop App Enhancements

Zoho Meeting Updates: Bug Fixes in Meetings and Webinars, and Desktop App Enhancements

Hi there,
We hope you are all safe and well. Following our previous feature release, we have added some enhancements and bug fixes for the improved functioning of Zoho Meeting. Let's take a look at last month's updates:

Online meeting updates
  • The microphone button remained active even when a user switched to phone audio. This issue has been fixed.
  • An error caused the microphone status of participants to be wrongly displayed in the meeting toolbar and the attendees list.This issue has been fixed.
  • There was a problem with displaying the name of the active speaker during meetings. This has been fixed now.
  • The issue of Leave site prompt not being shown when a user clicked the Back button or refreshed the page has been fixed.
  • Meetings were duplicated in the meeting lists available from mobile apps. This has been fixed.
  • The microphone icon will now stay animated until the audio connection is established with the server.
  • An issue prevented some meetings from getting added automatically to email client calendars upon receiving the invitation email. This has been fixed.
  • The issue that caused occasional breakage in the RSVP response buttons of meeting invitation emails has been fixed.
  • Previously, if a meeting was canceled, it was not always updated in meeting participants' calendars. This issue has been fixed.
  • When a user reconnects to a meeting after facing connectivity issues, the audio was sometimes connected through the default computer microphone instead of the external microphone which they had chosen for the meeting. This issue has been fixed.

Webinar updates
  • Organizers and co-organizers can now mute each other and their attendees (if they speak in the webinar).
  • Calendar links for webinars now contain the joining link of the webinar instead of the webinar registration link, so registrants will be taken directly to the webinar at the time of the webinar.
  • In some cases, the names of all webinar attendees were not visible in the attendees list. This has been fixed.
  • An issue that caused the organizers' and/or co-organizers' webinar pages to freeze when many attendees joined a webinar has been fixed.
  • Bug in Let attendees ask questions in Q&A setting is fixed.
  • Bug in Add to calendar option for recurring webinars is fixed.
  • In webinar email customization, users were sometimes unable to select email templates from preview and use the Insert HTML option. This issue has been fixed.

Common updates
  • The issue of toll-free and recording add-ons not getting activated immediately after subscription has been fixed.
  • When a deleted user was added back to an org, the old role was automatically reinstated. This issue has been fixed.
  • The issue causing some disabled video feeds appearing blank instead of being removed from active meeting and webinar windows has been fixed.
  • If a user connected to audio using an external microphone and later disconnected it, the audio sometimes failed to automatically connect via the default microphone of the computer. This issue has been fixed.
  • Abrupt muting and unmuting of the microphone caused complete disconnection of audio for some users who connected via phone audio. This issue has been fixed.

Desktop app updates
  • The Zoho Meeting Desktop app can now automatically update itself when new versions of the app become available.
  • The Zoho Meeting Desktop app is now available for Linux users. Download Zoho Meeting desktop app
  • The desktop app sometimes failed to open properly in older versions of Windows. To overcome this issue, you can download and use version 3.0.8 or higher of the Zoho Meeting Desktop app.
  • Users from China could not use the desktop app as it did not support a login option for that region. Now, the option to log in to the app has been added for the Chinese region and they can use the desktop app for meetings and webinars. 

We hope these enhancements and bug fixes will help you get even more out of your Zoho Meeting experience. Stay tuned for more updates from us and stay safe.
