  • Two-way chat now available in a Waiting Room.
  • Meeting attendees can now stop all incoming video.

  • Live Transcription - now available on all accounts. - Great for expanded accessibility. I've been using Zooms transcription service and other services that utilize StreamText for sometime and one of the best ways to be inclusive as we can be on Zoom.

  • Two-way chat now available in a Waiting Room. - Very cool, participants will love to get their questions around prompts, exercises, timing, tech etc answered without leaving the room. Now we just need Zoom to add live audio broadcast into the Breakout Rooms... hopeful 🙂

  • Meeting attendees can now stop all incoming video. - Great for low bandwidth situations where participants only need to listen to the meeting audio.
