Latest Enhancements and Bug Fixes in Zoho Meeting

Hello there,

We hope you're doing well. The latest updates from Zoho Meeting include enhancements like adding names for instant meetings, renaming participants, enabling text notifications for participant entry/exit, viewing details of bandwidth optimization, and UI improvements. We've also implemented some bug fixes. Let's take a look at what's new:

Common updates for meetings and webinars

Enhancements

View bandwidth optimization details: Users can now see the details of how their bandwidth is optimized during a meeting or webinar from Settings.
We've made design and text changes in the UI for improved user experience.
We now show a pop-up if no audio is detected while starting or joining a meeting and when users mute and unmute their microphones.

Audio bug fixes

A bug in Google Chrome caused audio to be captured from users' internal microphones, even after they switched to using their Bluetooth device. This has been fixed from our end.
Some users encountered errors while trying to select the microphone device during meetings and webinars. This issue has been fixed.

Meetings

Enhancements

Rename instant meetings: Previously, instant meetings were named after the presenter's name by default. Now, you can add names for the instant meetings that you conduct. During the meeting, this name will be displayed at the top of the Attendees list, Chat tab, and Settings tab. Adding names also makes it easier for you to identify a meeting in the Past Meetings list after it's over. Learn more.

Rename participants: Participants can now rename themselves in a meeting. Presenters can rename themselves, as well as participants. With this option, users can replace their official names with nicknames during a meeting. Learn more.

Entry/exit notifications: Text notifications can now be enabled for attendee entry and exit, in addition to sound notifications.

'Leave meeting' option: Previously, meeting presenters had to end a meeting before exiting the meeting. Now we've added a 'Leave meeting' option, so that a presenter can leave a meeting without ending the meeting when there are multiple presenters.

Remove participants during screen sharing: Presenters were unable to remove participants engaged in screen-sharing during a meeting. Now, presenters can remove participants even if they are sharing their screens.

If a participant gets disconnected from a meeting and the session changes to a video conference, there's now a notification to the participant informing them about the change when they rejoin.

If a user's microphone is in the muted state while they speak, we now show a notification informing them to unmute their microphone.

The icons that appear on the video feed of users have been re-aligned for better UI interaction.

Bug fixes

Screen sharing error: If a participant moved away from the meeting tab after raising a request (to the presenter) for screen sharing, they were shown an error when they returned to the meeting tab. This issue has been fixed and participants can share their screen after the presenter accepts their request, even if they navigate to a different tab temporarily.

Audio state mismatches in the UI have been fixed.

Some users who joined meetings using Mozilla Firefox faced issues with frozen/black video feed while switching to computer audio. This issue has been fixed.

Bugs related to attendee entry/exit sound notifications have been fixed.

UI interaction issues with adding participants while scheduling a meeting have been fixed.

Issues with editing meetings and changing presenters in the web application have been resolved.

The issue of reminder emails for recurring meetings displaying incorrect meeting dates has been fixed.

Webinars

Page freeze issues during webinars have been resolved.

Webinar organizers were unable to add more than one webinar to their calendar, as the entries got overwritten. This issue has been fixed.
