Zoom has initiated a new characteristic called ‘Immersive View’. It is practically a fresh video background option that strives to imitate in-person conferences. The characteristic is now accessible to each user, comprising free and Pro. It struggles with committees and webinars with up to 25 members.

Zoom had initially unveiled the Immersive View at its Zoomtopia meeting in October previous year. The demo then showcased the practice case for a classroom or courtroom-like format. The interface is similar to the Together Mode in Microsoft Teams.

The Immersive View seeks to lend a life-like back screen. Meeting hosts can facilitate the Immersive View through the menu. It is worth reporting that Zoom already has Speaker View and Gallery View procedures. Once you activate the Immersive option, Zoom automatically positions attendees in various actual spectacles such as a theater or board room. Meeting hosts can manually sight the members as well.

The Verge brings up that the recent layout arrives with limited restrictions. For specimen, calls that have an additional than 25 participants, the persisting attendees will occur in a strip of video thumbnails at the prime. There is moreover a discrepancy in what you will witness and others with not operating the latest iteration of the video conferencing outlet. As per the report, the background swaps to an older setting before the Immersive View is turned on. The news also characterized that the recordings of Immersive View conferences will occur in Zoom’s default Speaker or Gallery option.

“When Immersive View is facilitated, those on Zoom desktop & mobile application that does not benefit Immersive View will proceed to see other conference participants in either Gallery View or Speaker View, just with a reasonable black background. Others in the conference will still glimpse these baseless parties in the Immersive View event with their new backgrounds,” says Zoom in the FAQ paragraph.

The Immersive option is not accessible in Breakout Rooms.
