New zoom updates available

Several updates to Zoom have been released in September with interesting new features for your teaching, including:
  • Self-selection of breakout sessions: You can give participants in your meeting the right to choose which breakout session they go to.
  • Create a virtual seating plan: The video tiles in the gallery view can be moved by the host via drag and drop. This can be helpful, for example, if you conduct group work phases during your meeting and you want to be able to see who is in which group in the plenary.

You can find out more about the latest features for virtual teaching here on the Zoom blog. You can also find regular information about all updates on the Zoom website here. In general, we recommend that you update your Zoom app regularly, otherwise some features will no longer be supported.

How do I update my Zoom app?

To do this, go to your profile picture in the Zoom app and then “check for updates”.

PS We’d rather not tell you that there is a new feature for video filters, because that can be quite distracting…
