- Create a virtual seating chart
What it is: Video reordering
About the feature:
Zoom’s industry-leading Gallery View allows you to see the video of up to 49 participants at a time. Now, you can easily drag and drop video tiles and rearrange the order in which students appear in your Gallery View. This view gets locked into a fixed configuration, so it won’t shift when a new person speaks or enters the virtual classroom.How it helps: You can drag and drop students for a virtual seating chart – and choose to have students follow your view for a custom seating arrangement that everybody sees. This is especially handy for activities that involve “going around the room” in a certain order, or placing students into virtual groups.
- Better support deaf & hard-of-hearing students
What it is: Multi-pinning
About the feature: Our Pin Video feature allows you to disable the active speaker view and view only the pinned videos in your individual view. With multi-pinning, hosts can pin up to nine other students on-screen in their custom personal view. Students also are able to pin up to nine other videos with the teacher’s permission.
How it helps: Teachers and students using sign language won’t necessarily appear as the active speaker in the Zoom classroom. With multi-pinning, students who are deaf or hard of hearing can pin both teacher and interpreter on the screen for a more accessible learning experience. If the teacher spotlights a screen, the students’ pinned videos still appear in their previous order across the top.
- Enhance select presenters and group work
What it is: Multi-spotlight
About the feature: Teachers can now spotlight up to nine participants during a Zoom session for the whole class to see.
How it helps: Multi-spotlighting allows you to create a custom, focused group view that’s visible to the entire class. This view is great for when you want a select group of students to present to the class together.
- More easily manage unmuting
What it is: Unmute with Consent
About the feature: We’ve added an unmute with permission feature where teachers can ask to unmute their students only once and have that permission carried over into other classes.
How it helps: Once the student or parent gives permission, that permission carries to every class that the teacher hosts. So whenever that student joins a class hosted by that teacher, the teacher can always unmute the student instead of asking permission every time.
