Zoom regularly provides updates to their platform in order to make the application more efficient & effective for their users. Below are a couple feature updates that recently were made. In order to make these new features available, you will need to be running the latest version of Zoom.
Enhanced Zoom Co-Host Privileges over Breakout Rooms
With the latest feature update, Zoom has announced an enhancement that will allow co-hosts to have the same breakout room controls as the meeting host, such as starting or ending breakout rooms, assigning participants, etc. Hosts and co-hosts will now also have the option to assign a participant back to the main session, rather than ending all breakout sessions.
Enabling Screen Sharing and Chat for Participants
A security change impacted several agency users who have reported that screen sharing and chat capabilities have been reset to “Host Only” rather than “All Participants.” To re-enable these settings, first verify that you are signed into Zoom and running the latest version, 5.4.7 and follow the steps outlined in this document.
If you have any questions or need technical assistance on any of the new Zoom updates, please contact the Help Desk at 319-273-8231 or helpdesk@centralriversaea.org.
