Below are a few details regarding Zoom&#8217;s latest update to its desktop application and how they will enhance you and your student&#8217;s experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With version 6.0.4, Zoom gave its desktop app a new name \u2013 formerly <em>Zoom Desktop Client<\/em>, now <strong><em>Zoom Workplace<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 as well as a significant facelift. The former program is now <strong>Zoom Workplace<\/strong> and comes with a customizable navigation and meetings toolbar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon starting a Zoom meeting, you&#8217;ll notice the meeting toolbar has a new set of icons. Though the functions remain the same for all buttons, they&#8217;ve received visual updates for a modern look. If you use the &#8220;light&#8221; appearance for the app, you&#8217;ll also notice that you can <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/support.zoom.com\/hc\/en\/article?id=zm_kb&amp;sysparm_article=KB0061932\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>change the color theme<\/strong><\/a> applied to your app\/meeting window.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.fau.edu\/canvas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/zoom-flavor_all.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"184\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.fau.edu\/canvas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/zoom-flavor_all-1024x184.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.fau.edu\/canvas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/zoom-flavor_all-1024x184.png 1024w, https:\/\/wordpress.fau.edu\/canvas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/zoom-flavor_all-300x54.png 300w, https:\/\/wordpress.fau.edu\/canvas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/zoom-flavor_all-768x138.png 768w, https:\/\/wordpress.fau.edu\/canvas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/zoom-flavor_all-530x95.png 530w, https:\/\/wordpress.fau.edu\/canvas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/zoom-flavor_all-130x23.png 130w, https:\/\/wordpress.fau.edu\/canvas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/zoom-flavor_all-150x27.png 150w, https:\/\/wordpress.fau.edu\/canvas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/zoom-flavor_all.png 1088w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>Updated Zoom Meetings Toolbar in 4 Different Themes (top to bottom): Classic, Bloom, Agave, Rose<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another change you might notice is a new name for your meeting&#8217;s security options, now titled <strong>Host tools<\/strong>. This button still has the same functionality for keeping your sessions secure and customizing your students&#8217; and attendees&#8217; Zoom experience. Most of these security features are on by default, but if you wish to lock down the meeting down further, check out the options available within the <strong>Host tools <\/strong>button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few other features for meetings include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A simplified and customizable toolbar to turn on the AI Companion, screen sharing, and host tools.<\/li><li>A multi-speaker view allows multiple speakers to be in sight in a meeting.<\/li><li>Themes and AI-powered portrait lighting that can brighten you up in dimmer rooms.<\/li><li>Enhanced sound quality with voice isolation to help your voice sound clearer and suppress background noise.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information related to Zoom&#8217;s feature updates, please check out the resources below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=P1f4dvDMk6g\" target=\"_blank\">Zoom Meeting Innovations video<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zoom.com\/en\/blog\/5-collaboration-features-from-zoom\/\" target=\"_blank\">5 collaboration tips to level up your workday with the new Zoom Workplace<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zoom.com\/en\/blog\/new-zoom-features\/\" target=\"_blank\">What&#8217;s new: 50+ features you need to know about<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, if you need help or would like more details about Zoom&#8217;s updates or related instructional tools, we are happy to assist.
