Introducing Share Screen for meeting participants 
Now the meeting participant doesn't need to wait for the presenter to make them as a presenter to share the screen. They can just click on the Share screen option on the left pane to share their screen/application. Following this, we have removed the Make Presenter option for the meeting presenter.  Learn more






Introducing Invite Participants in presenter's left menu 
Presenter can now see Invite Attendee option on their left pane to invite participants during the meeting while the other meeting participants share their screen. We have also added  Copy link option to copy the meeting join link to the clipboard.





Participant's audio connection status 
Presenter can view the meeting participants' connected status using the icons shown in the below images. Now the participant's who join from the phone audio will be shown in the  Attendee list with a phone icon beside their name. 









Webinar Registration Moderation 
Webinar presenter can choose to automatically approve anyone who registers for your webinar or can also manually approve registrants.







Webinar Registration enhancements 
We have also added a setting for webinar registration notification email .If the setting is enabled webinar organizer will notify by email for every registration they get for the webinar. 

Webinar registrants can now change the time zone to view the webinar time in their preferred timezone. We are yet to handle the advanced  Add to Calendar  options in registration page.


 


Reordered home page and menu  
We have done a few changes in the UI by re-ordering meeting/webinar buttons and the menu on the home page. We have also introduced  Meet Now button on the home page to start an online meeting instantly.





Introducing integration setup  
You can enable or disable integration with other Zoho services for both meeting and webinar editions. 





Introducing subscription view

Enhancements made for User Management

Enhanced recording quality  
We have made few tweaks to the session recording which includes better recording video quality. 



Other enhancements and bug fixes.

  • When participants/presenter is facing issue while joining meeting/webinar from the browser, one time desktop app download will be prompted now.

  • Give keyboard and mouse control option is now available for all the paid and trial licenses. Presenter from Windows OS can now share their computer's keyboard and mouse control to their meeting participants. This feature requires the desktop app.
