So you have plenty of options for connecting with others this holiday season. Click on the Video category from the left pane to find the option to change your default camera for Zoom meetings.


Google, meanwhile, has rolled out a handy Meet feature that allows you to jump straight into your meetings from Gmail, both in-browser and on your phone.Īlso of note, the web version of WhatsApp is reportedly adding voice and video calls in a future update. Next, click on Zoom in the menu bar and choose Preferences from the dropdown menu. For example, a series of Microsoft Teams updates is adding custom layouts, breakout rooms, and "Together mode," which takes everyone in the call to special screens designed to emulate real-world meeting places like auditoriums and coffee shops. These new updates, along with the new Silicon-first version of the app, should work in Zoom's favor, considering all the other video chat competitors out there. This adds the ability to virtually raise your hand during a conversation so as to not interrupt the speaker, as well as new reactions, better cloud contact integration and security integrations, and SMS/MMS support. For everyone running Zoom, there's a new update to check out regardless of which version you have installed.
