The halfway point of the term is here, which means that now is a great time to make sure that your Zoom client is up to date in order to ensure you have the most recent bug fixes and the new features which Zoom has released this month! You will want to be sure to check for updates in your Zoom client even if you primarily utilize Zoom from the web. This is because Zoom accesses the on-device client in order to operate your camera, mic, and meeting controls, making it important to have the most recent version to prevent any in-meeting issues.
More information on how to update your client can be found via Zoom’s support site: Update your Zoom Client. Note, if you do not have the Zoom client pinned to your computer desktop or dock, you may need to follow these directions to locate the program on your computer.
New Feature this Month- Alternative Hosts Can Now Add and Edit Polls!
In the past, only a meeting creator could add or edit a poll for a meeting- which could prove problematic, especially in team teaching situations or when working on a group presentation. Going forward however, this ability can be extended to Alternative Hosts by the meeting scheduler. To do so, schedule the meeting from the web portal (this feature does not yet work from the desktop clients), and check the box below the search box for Alternative Host assignment. Note: to access the feature, you must have already assigned an Alternative Host. As always, be sure to Save your changes!
