Has anyone tried the new "Shared Content Only" view mode in Zoom Webinar? I was really looking forward to using this new feature and I congratulate Zoom for adding it. It sounds like a very useful way to enable webinar hosts to force a shared screen on attendees while hiding all panelist video tiles, even for videos that are currently on. However, I have discovered that this feature only works if attendees have upgraded to the most recent version of the Zoom client. Which, in my opinion, makes this new feature completely useless! Why would a webinar host want to impose a specific view on only SOME of the attendees? The whole point of the feature is to force the shared screen on ALL attendees. Until all attendees are required to upgrade to the latest version (which I think is currently 6.2.11), this feature is pointless. I can think of many uses for this feature, but now I'm just disappointed that it seems to have no practical use at all 😞
