Zoom’s Immersive View feature
Zoom’s new Immersive View feature will take on Microsoft Teams’ Together Mode, allowing meeting hosts to place (manually or automatically) video participants and webinar panellists into a single virtual background. Immersive View’s present scenes can have up to 25 participants, while additional participants will be displayed in a thumbnail strip on the top of the scene, Zoom noted in a blog post. Hosts can also move participants around a scene, resize a participant’s image, and change the scene or revert to Speaker or Gallery View at any time, it added. Hosts can select an available scene, upload their own, and even use their own video as a scene. Recording of Immersive View is not yet supported, Zoom noted. In another development, Google is adding new features to Meet including a refreshed look on the web and a few other features powered by artificial intelligence.
