V 2.2: Introducing Android app, Zoho CRM integration for online meeting, export reports for webinars, and a lot more.

Hello There,

We're constantly rolling out new features and enhancements in Zoho Meeting. Here are a list of new features and enhancements rolled out in this month (May 2018).

Zoho Meeting add-on for Zoho CRM

We have come up with a tighter integration for online meetings with Zoho CRM events. You can now schedule and host meetings; invite your CRM leads, contacts, or users; and view recordings and reports in your CRM portal. You can also access all those meetings in your Zoho Meeting portal. This comes as an add-on to Zoho CRM paid and trial users. You can try it free for 14 days, after which you can get this add-on at just $1/user/month. See how to setup the add-on .

Introducing Android App

We are happy to announce our new android app for web meetings. You can start a meeting from your computer or iOS devices and your participants can join your meeting from their android devices using our android app. Get the Zoho Meeting app from the play store to join a web meeting.

Introducing Report Generation for Webinars

We have good news for those who've waited for the downloadable webinar reports functionality in Zoho Meeting. You can now generate various reports like registrants, attendees, polls, Q&As, and performance reports for your webinar from the Webinar Analytics section. All the reports are downloadable in XLS and CSV formats.

Enhanced connection speed and stability

We are continuously focused on improving performance, stability, and connection speed. We have made some enhancements to the server connections and added new protocols to improve the stability of audio/video connections, so you'll see an improvement in the connection speed.

Screen Quality Improvements

We have come up with a new implementation to enhance the screen sharing quality. This helps your attendees by reducing blurriness, browser memory consumption, and bandwidth usage.. This feature is currently available in our early access servers. Contact support@zohomeeting.com to enable this feature on your account.

Enhanced Google Chrome extentions

Keep all your Zoho Meeting events handy. The Google Chrome extension for Zoho Meeting is now fully-featured with your meetings and webinars. You can start instant meetings, schedule a meeting or webinar, and view and start the upcoming meetings and webinars. Add the chrome extension now and get quick access to your Zoho Meeting sessions.

Hold Phone Audio Conferencing

You can now hold phone audio conferencing with Zoho Meeting. Once you schedule meeting and invite participants, the audio conference details will be sent to the invitees along with the invitation email. Your participants can join the conference directly from the phone using international numbers and conference code without joining from the web. However for security reasons the presenter has to start the meeting from the web. This feature is currently available in our early access servers. Contact support to enable this feature on your account.

Meeting Duration

As requested, we have now added meeting duration. You can now set the duration of your meeting, ranging from fifteen minutes to three hours, while scheduling. This will be sent along with the invitation email so your meeting participants can plan accordingly.

Exit Session

We have now introduced the option to end the meeting or webinar at the bottom left of the Presenter app. Your meeting participants/webinar attendees will be notified once you exit the session.
