Zoom has rebranded as "Zoom Workplace"
New Features
This update is designed to make the interface more user-friendly and visually appealing, allowing users to tailor their workspace to their preferences. Here are some of the new features:
- Customization options include choosing a color scheme and setting a meeting wallpaper
- In-meeting toolbar that allows users to add and remove features
- Multi-speaker view which dynamically adapts the meeting’s video layout to highlight current and recent speakers.
- Desktop App Navigation: Notice a simplified navigation in the Zoom client with the ability to drag and drop tabs to customize your view.
- Survey and Polls/Quizzes: Manage all your surveys, polls and quizzes from one integrated library and launch polls and quizzes anytime without having to enable them prior to a meeting.
- Changes to Reaction Emojis and Annotation: There is a new look and feel for Zoom’s annotation tools when sharing your screen. There are now options for magnification and annotation that can be found by selecting the three dots icon next to the label of the Share view. There are also more dynamic, animated emoji effects. There is the React feature with several common emojis, and the Send with Effect feature that produces animated versions of the selected reaction where emojis appear and float up and around you.
