Zoom 5.4.3 Feature to Windows or PC
Today we are going to look at the top new features in zoom video conferencing zoom has been investing heavily and so that means there are lots of new features to check out feel free to use the timestamps in the description if you want to jump around otherwise.
Let’s jump on the pc and let’s see what’s new before we jump into all of the new features if you want to take advantage of them well you have to make sure that your zoom client is the latest version with the zoom.
App open go up into the top right-hand corner where you see your profile picture and click on that, within this menu towards the the bottom there’s an option for check for updates let’s click on that this opens up a prompt and if you need to update zoom go ahead and do that I’m currently on the latest version which is Zoom version 5.4.3.
If you have that you should be able to follow along with this video the first new feature you can use a powerpoint slide deck as a virtual background how do we do that well within zoom let’s go down to the bottom bar and click on share screen this shows all of the different items that.
We can share and let’s click on the option that says advanced here we see a new option for PowerPoint as virtual background let’s click on this and then click on share this opens up a windows file picker where we can select our powerpoint file i have this file right on my desktop.
I’ll click on open this opens up my powerpoint slide deck and check this out i am on the slide right here i can advance this slide deck just like i can any other slide presentation and i appear on top of all the slides so pretty cool right not only am i stuck down here in the bottom right hand corner if i click on myself this exposes a blue box.
I can drag myself wherever i want on the slide so I can position my video anywhere along with being able to adjust the position I can also adjust the size i simply click on the corner of this box and whoa there i can make myself really large on top of the slide down.
Below there’s an ellipses and when i click on this here once again i can resize my video that’ll bring the blue box around my video I can also split the video from the powerpoint.
When I click on this my video just comes right back up here where it typically is if i want to bring myself back into the slide i simply click on the ellipses again and then i can merge myself into the slide deck again pretty cool stuff new feature number two you can now share multiple windows at the same time in the past if you wanted to share multiple windows you would typically share your entire desktop because sharing one window.
And then another window was just too much of a hassle to share multiple windows simply hover your mouse get the controls to appear and then click on share screen this opens up the sharing prompt and you can select what you want to share now in the past you could select one item.
Now if you press the control key you can select a second window you can even select a third window so you could select however many windows you want when I click on share now.
I see this window is highlighted and my other window is highlighted indicating that both windows are now being shared the nice thing about this is I can now share multiple windows.
I don’t have to share my entire desktop leaving me a little bit of extra privacy new feature number three you can now have multiple people share their screen simultaneously in the past you could only have one person share their screen at a time and frequently what would happen if someone else would say well actually let.
I show you this so you would stop sharing and they would start sharing it was a big pain instead, now you can have people share simultaneously on your meeting controls at the bottom click on this up arrow next to share screen and there’s a new option.
Where you can allow multiple participants to share simultaneously let’s click on that once multiple people start sharing you could have two or even three or four people start sharing at the same time at the very top you’ll have a new option called view options and here.
I can toggle between all of the shared screens so here i see that nester is sharing my youtube page thanks nesser that’s a kind gesture and here you can make the experience even better under settings and under general there’s the option to use dual monitors instead of toggling back and forth between the multiple shared screens instead.
You can have one shared screen on one monitor and the other shared screen on the other monitor so you can see both at the same time it’s a pretty neat new feature new feature number four i can now share reactions to express.
