It's important to keep your Zoom software up to date. A new version of Zoom (5.2.0) was released this week. Update instructions are here: https://ithelp.brown.edu/kb/articles/keeping-your-zoom-client-updated
The most interesting things you’ll see in the new release:
Video filters: Users can apply video filters to alter the look of your video with color grading, foreground, and frame filters. Filters can be turned off in your Web settings at any time.
Adjust Touch Up My Appearance: New ability to adjust the skin smoothness applied with the Touch Up My Appearance feature.
Adjust lighting: Users can choose to adjust the brightness of their video automatically or manually with a slider in their video settings. This feature is useful, especially in low-light environments.
Improved background noise suppression: You can adjust the background noise suppression applied, choosing to enable Low, Medium, High, or Automatic background noise suppression.
Improved Waiting Room notifications: The meeting host now receives more notifications about attendees entering the waiting room, including during screen share, and when Zoom is minimized/hidden.
Improved video and content sharing: Upgrades to video and content sharing to improve video quality, decrease bandwidth and CPU usage, and improve text clarity.
Additional meeting reactions: In addition to the clapping and thumbs up reactions, meeting participants can now react with a heart, surprised face, laughing face, or party emoji. Those receiving the reactions will also need to have the latest version of the Zoom client to see them.
Security section when scheduling a meeting: To allow easier access, Passcode and Waiting Room settings are displayed under the Security section when scheduling a new meeting.
