Zoom Introduces Human Avatars: Add a Fun Twist to Your Meetings

In today’s fast-paced world, video conferencing has become an essential tool for staying connected with colleagues, friends and family. 

Zoom, one of the most popular video conferencing platforms, has just announced a new feature that is sure to add a fun and dynamic twist to your virtual meetings: human avatars.

With this new feature, Zoom users can now express themselves in a cartoon form on Zoom calls. This feature will allow users to add a more engaging and dynamic presence to their virtual meetings. 

Your virtual presence becomes more engaging and lifelike as a result of the avatars’ mimicking of your motions and facial expressions.

Plus, with numerous personalization options, you can create an innovative and entertaining “virtual you” to represent yourself on Zoom calls.

But that’s not all.

Additional Features

Zoom has also added a few other features to enhance your virtual meeting experience. 

One of these is Meeting Templates, which allows you to compose, save, and select from a variety of personalized meeting templates that have the appropriate settings applied automatically. 

This means you can focus on the content of your meeting, rather than spending time fiddling with the settings.

Threaded reactions and messages, will enable meeting attendees to add threads of messages and emoticons in the meeting chat. It will also be made available by the company later this month.

This feature makes it clear what messages each participant is replying to and organizes the chat conversations.

Last but not least, Zoom has implemented a Q&A tool.

This tool makes it easier for the hosts of the meeting to keep organized by giving them a single location to browse and respond to queries.

It is simpler to maintain track of questions and answers throughout the meeting when hosts along with co-hosts are able to read, respond to, and also dismiss questions from the Q&A pop-out.

Overall, these new Zoom features will make your online meetings more entertaining, interesting, and well-organized.

Global Zoom users can presently access the feature in beta. As the beta test goes on, the company will add more hairstyles, facial characteristics, and customization possibilities.
