Avatars are currently available in beta for all Zoom users globally.
Zoom has added avatars to its collection of filters to make meetings more flexible and fun.
Video conferencing platform Zoom has announced human avatars in its meeting app, which will let users appear as cartoon versions of themselves.
To make meetings more flexible and fun, the company added avatars to its collection of filters.
“With multiple personalization combinations, you can showcase ‘Virtual You’ in a way that is original and fun! Avatars reflect your body language and facial expressions, allowing you to present yourself dynamically without the need to appear on video and the more attractive use of static profile pictures to inject more fun and energy into your meetings provide options,” Zoom said in a blogpost.
Avatars are currently available in beta for all Zoom users globally.
The company said that as they progress into beta, they will continue to expand with additional facial features, hairstyles, and more customization options when creating your human avatar.
Meanwhile, Zoom also announced meeting templates, threaded messages and in-meeting chat experience, and Q&A in meetings, among other features.
With Meeting Templates, users can now create, save, and select custom meeting templates that automatically apply the right settings for their needs.
“Using a meeting template will put you at ease knowing you have the right kind of meeting scheduled, focused on your content, rather than wasting time,” the blogpost states.
In addition, to enhance the in-meeting chat experience, later this month the company will release threaded messages and reactions, which will allow meeting participants to create message threads in in-meeting chats and consolidate emoji responses.
This feature will help organize chat messages and clarify which messages participants are responding to.
In addition, the Q&A feature will allow meeting hosts to stay more organized by having a place to view and answer questions.
“No longer do you have to scour meeting chats to make sure you’ve answered all the questions. From the Q&A pop-out, the host and co-host can view, answer, or dismiss questions,” the blogpost noted.
Q&A in a meeting is available on Zoom One Business, Zoom One Business Plus, Zoom One Enterprise, and Zoom One Enterprise Plus accounts.
