Zoom introduced innovations that will accelerate the evolution of the post-pandemic work life, empower employees to adapt to the new era, and make the transition to hybrid work as smooth as possible by facilitating collaboration.
In 2021, businesses faced serious challenges as they worked to facilitate the connection of remote professionals and contribute to productivity while organizing a safe return to the office. Zoom Video Communications, Inc. has been facing these challenges all year long with the solutions and features its users need to succeed in their new work environments.
Zoom aims to create a more efficient, collaborative, and engaging user experience while simplifying processes by connecting and organizing workflows with the innovations it has introduced in the last period of the past year and has recently introduced. Let’s take a look at these exciting innovations.
Huddle View
Huddle View is a feature that can provide a visual channel layout to help teams feel connected while working virtually. For example, channel members can choose a unique virtual background for themselves so they can easily see who is in the channel and quickly see if they are busy or available, bringing teams closer together.
Zoom Events Behind the Scenes
Zoom’s new Behind the Scenes feature brings the green room into the virtual environment, giving speakers, panelists, and production teams a space to chat, watch, and mingle before the live broadcast begins.
Zoom-whiteboard (new)
With the all-new Zoom Whiteboard, in-office and remote participants can come together anytime, anywhere on the digital whiteboard in real time, without setting up a meeting. This new feature is available anywhere Zoom Meetings is active on a laptop, conference room, mobile device, or Zoom for Home device.
Zoom-widget
Zoom Widget is designed to connect teams and streamline their workflow. It helps people in meetings manage time and expectations, and keep teammates informed. Users can also see who is in the meeting and notify the host or hostess via Zoom Chat if they are running late.
Zoom Apps for Mobile and Webinars
Zoom Apps, which was added to the Zoom Desktop Meeting experience in early 2021, is now also available for mobile devices and webinars. This way, you can use your favorite applications that you use while working on your mobile device in meetings or webinars. This innovation gives you more opportunities to interact with games and other applications. Zoom also offers "Immersive Apps" that let you create custom "Immersive Views" for both you and your participants.
Video Participation Center
With the Zoom Video Participation Center, institutions can create engaging experiences where they can develop trust-based interactions by bringing their experts together with their customers on video in a structured and comprehensive virtual environment. With this solution, Zoom offers enterprises cloud-first scalability and a reliable video architecture.
Advanced Translation and Transcription
Zoom meetings are becoming more inclusive with real-time, automated translation and live transcription capabilities. The platform’s translation capabilities have also been expanded to support multiple languages.
Zoom Jumpstart
As part of the mission to drive and enable innovation through the Zoom Developers Platform, we are launching Jumpstart, a new app creation tool that helps developers work faster. This tool generates code that seamlessly integrates Video SDK functionality into your current implementation after specifying basic configurations, a few pre-built features, some branding inputs, and platform options.
