Keep calm and update zoom

A new version of the Zoom app will be available next week for download at https://zoom.us/download. Zoom will also be performing a staggered release for iOS and Android on applicable app stores. This update will include the release of the Immersive Views feature (see description below) and minor bug fixes.

April 26, 2021 version

New and enhanced features

  • Meeting/webinar features
    • Immersive Views 
      Recreate the feel of your class or conference room by placing video participants onto a single virtual background. Participants are automatically placed onto provided scenes, but the host can upload their own custom background and adjust the arrangements as needed. This requires client version 5.6.3 or higher and works best when using Virtual Background, but not required.

Resolved issues

  • Minor bug fixes
  • Resolved an issue for a subset of users regarding crashes when switching audio devices
  • Resolved an issue for a subset of users regarding an inability to end a webinar
