Zoom launched over 400 features in 2020 to serve users better

Zoom launched over 400 features in 2020 to serve users better: Zoom Video Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: ZM) has released more than 400 features and announced several new offerings in 2020 to better serve users’ communication needs to get business done, continue learning when schools were closed, seek care via telehealth, get married, or stay in touch with family and friends.

 

Some of these highlights include:

· Zoom Apps was announced, which will bring best-of-breed apps directly into the Zoom experience for use before, during, and after your meetings to enable seamless collaboration and meeting management, and improve engagement

· Zoom for Home, allowing remote workers to outfit their home workspaces with devices that enable seamless communication and collaboration on Zoom

· OnZoom, a virtual events marketplace built to host, discover & attend immersive online experiences

· Zoom 5.0, with 256-bit AES-GCM encryption for all meetings and other advanced security enhancements and host controls

· End-to-end encryption, which gives users the ability to host meetings where nobody except each participant – not even Zoom’s servers – has access to the encryption keys being used to encrypt the meeting

 

Those last two points were core to another high-priority focus area for Zoom: security. As global usage rapidly increased, Zoom devoted all engineering resources to increasing security for all users. The product and engineering teams focused on security enhancements like adding the Security icon for comprehensive in-meeting controls, the “Report a User” function, and more granular data routing options.
