General features
- Automatic updates - Windows, macOS
- Users can enable the desktop client to update itself when updates are available for install. Users can choose between 2 different update cadences: Slow (default) for fewer updates and better stability, or Fast for the newest features and updates. This will be enabled by default for standard installations, but disabled for the package for IT Admins for managed installations. Enterprise users with the existing automatic update option disabled are unaffected.
- Additional MSI/PLIST/GPO/MDM options
- Set auto-update frequency - SetUpdatingChannel - Windows, macOS

- Compatibility enhancements for Smart Gallery - Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS
- Various enhancements for how the client handles the multi-stream Smart Gallery view from a Zoom Room, such as moving all Zoom Room participants into a Breakout Room together, in-meeting chat messages are sent to the Zoom Room as a whole (instead of sent to individual members), and assigning the Zoom Room host controls, rather than an individual participant.
Webinar features

Phone features
- Caller verified icon for incoming calls - Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS
- Zoom Phone will show "caller verified" check marks to help users identify robocalls and spam calls.

Previous release notes
Changes to existing features
- MSI flag required for Outlook IM Integration on MSI deployments - Windows
- Due to a potential conflict with components shared with other Microsoft products, such as Skype and Teams, the integration for Outlook status syncing will not be automatically available with MSI deployments.

General features
- SSO logout notifications - Windows, macOS, Android, iOS

- Seamlessly transition meetings from mobile to desktop and back to mobile, allowing you to take advantage of the mobility of the mobile client and the more feature-rich desktop client to suit your needs. This feature will not be immediately available for all, as it will be rolled out to customers over time.
- Watermark enhancements - Linux
- Watermarks will display the entire email address over a participant's shared screen and video tile, as well as displayed over their video in most video layouts (Speaker, Gallery, Side-by-side). The watermark is also visibly more apparent as a tiled pattern across the video or shared screen. This brings the Linux client into parity with the same recent enhancements for Windows and macOS clients.
- Optimize for video auto-detect - Windows
- When Optimize for video clip is enabled but no video is detected, the client will automatically disable this feature to provide better visual quality of the shared content, then automatically re-enable when video is detected again.

Meeting features
- Limit screen sharing for meetings with external participants - Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS
- Admins can apply restrictions to specific users or to groups through web settings to prevent these users from screen sharing when a guest participant (a user external to the host's account) joins a meeting. These users will still be able to screen share when there are no guest participants.

- Privacy feature for shared lines - Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS
