Zoom, the video conferencing platform, which got immensely popular during the pandemic, is rolling out updates for an enhanced virtual meeting experience. These updates include enhanced screen annotation for Zoom Meetings and Zoom Video Webinars, new hardware solutions for Zoom Rooms, and expanded management capabilities for Zoom Chat. Zoom notes that the upgrades are based on user experience based on customer feedback. The new features will help users express themselves better, collaborate, and manage their communications more effectively, according to Zoom.Zoom has added vanishing pen annotation, auto-shapes to the mobile app, and more emojis to meeting reactions. The vanishing pen will enable a user to highlight text or objects on the shared screen without having to undo or erase highlight annotations. These annotations will disappear over time and users will not have to erase or undo them again. It will also help in gaining attendees' attention. The new features also include whiteboard auto shapes on the Zoom app. This feature will help users draw accurate lines and shapes when annotating on their tablet. It is an essential tool for organisations for live whiteboarding during all-hands, training meetings, and customer or sales webinars. The feature automatically corrects annotations into their intended shape. While the disappearing annotations will work on Windows, macOS, and Linux and will vanish within a couple of seconds, the shape annotations will be a feature of Android or iOS tablets.More Related News
