Release Notes

Version 2.16 — August 31, 2023

Overview & Highlights

This release makes the Class 2.0 experience that was released earlier this month the default experience for all customers. This release also introduces an updated Play Video experience and several performance and stability improvements. Additionally, as of this release, the main Classroom will continue to be recorded by default when Breakout Rooms are started and Cloud Recording is in use.

Zoom SDK Version: 2.14.0

Enhancements

Play Video

In order to improve the performance of the Play Video feature across different devices, we have made several modifications to this experience.

  • Videos may be muted by default on some platforms to prevent issues with playback;
  • A blue banner has been introduced at the top of the video frame to indicate who is controlling playback;

Additionally, we now support Vimeo as an additional content provider! Vimeo videos can be uploaded and controlled using the same process and workflow as YouTube videos.

Ability to Clear Chat

Class chat threads will automatically clear after 8 hours. If, however, an instructor needs to clear the chat history sooner than this point, they can now do so using the option shown below.

Class for Web

As of the August 31st release, the Class 2.0 experience will be enabled for all customer instances. This can be reverted in the Class admin portal by going to the configuration page and unchecking the option shown below:
