As mentioned in the earlier post, we are now moving to the new WebRTC technology. In the recent updates to this new version, we have added some most awaited features, redesigned the toolbars, enhanced the usability, introduced desktop plugin for Mac, and fixed some bugs.

We have done a complete UI makeover for the web application which you would see once you log into the Zoho Meeting service. We strive to make the user experience pleasant for you and have redesigned schedule meeting, meeting details, meetings list on the home page, manage organization and settings.

Added video on/off controls in toolbar

Along with the other usability enhancements, we have added the on/off controls to toggle sharing of your webcam and mute/unmute option for your microphone in the video feed box. Also, you can hide the video feed if required, without affecting the video conferencing flow.

Added change presenters option

The most awaited change presenters option is now available in the new version. You can choose from the participants' list to change presenter, allowing that participant to share the screen/application with just a click of the button.
