New & fresh logo 

We have changed the product logo with a new fresh look. Here you go with our latest logo.

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 

To give more clarity on the editions and add-ons available/purchased by the user, we have now introduced Subscription tab under Settings module.

Enhancements made for User Management 

We have enhanced User Management module to let the admin choose a designated role along with the editions for every user that they add.

Enhanced recording quality  

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

Other enhancements and bug fixes. 

Webinar enhancements

• Your registrants can now choose the Already purchased option while registering for your webinar, if you have added the pre-defined custom registration field, Purchasing Time Frame in your webinar registration form.

Desktop App Launcher

We have introduced a launcher for desktop app to quickly start/join the session from WebRTC unsupported browsers like IE, Safari, Opera etc. From now on, you, your participants and webinar co-organizers will be needed to download and install the desktop app only once, after which the launcher will automatically run the existing app when you join from unsupported browsers.

• 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.
