The five tabs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Zoom’s latest update introduced five new tabs<\/strong> that organize each of the main functions<\/strong> of the app. The following list of functions and improvements will be split into five different tab categories. Tackling the tabs one at a time is the most efficient way to highlight all the new features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Change<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The home tab<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main page is the first thing you will see when loading the software. The expanded view of the home tab <\/strong>now allows you to view upcoming appointment details<\/strong>. With a single click, you can join any of the meetings listed on this screen. The home tab also provides the option to change your background picture<\/strong>. The elevated search functionality<\/strong> has been improved by suggesting relevant files, chats, messages, and contacts as you begin typing. To make navigation easier, a collection of keyboard shortcuts has also been added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Get<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The chat tab<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first of the new tabs act as a messenger hub<\/strong> for all your contacts. Each person now has their own chat channel<\/strong>, and you can create group channels<\/strong> for multiple users. Each channel gives you the option of starting a meeting with the group<\/strong> via a right-click. There is even a personal chat channel for your notes<\/strong> and other storage. When chatting for extended periods or late at night, you can toggle the dark mode interface<\/strong> from the sidebar settings. You can also assign special importance to a chat by starring it. A star keeps the chat pinned to the top of your list of ongoing communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chat<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The phone tab<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest additions is the Zoom Phone add-on<\/strong> available to businesses who subscribe to the cloud service. Employees can make and receive phone calls<\/strong> on any device connected to the company network. Company extensions are supported with the virtual dial pad<\/strong> that enables you to enter numbers with a click or tap. Employers can see call history<\/strong> and use existing PSTN phone lines <\/strong>to connect with modern computers. Voicemail functionality<\/strong> is also included, so the Zoom Phone add-on is an all-in-one-telephone solution for businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Make<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The meetings tab<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Meetings are the bread and butter of the Zoom software. There are a variety of quality-of-life improvements to go over on this tab. For starters, you can now blur your background<\/strong> to conceal the space directly behind where you are sitting. You can also conceal background noise<\/strong> to further enhance your privacy. There is even the option to insert a PowerPoint presentation<\/strong> as a background overlay. To round off the accessibility features, live call transcription is a toggle away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once a meeting is wrapped up, the host can clip and share highlights<\/strong> instead of posting the full recording. The backend also features increased data protection that keeps the connection secure during calls and meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blur<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The contacts tab<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This tab organizes your contacts<\/strong> into a convenient list. Here, you can sort, star, delete, and add new accounts you wish to connect with. The “+” button allows you to invite additional people via email. In addition to individual contacts, this tab displays the group channels you belong to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
