Spotted in the Zoom blog post about
their Zoomtopia 2019 event:
"Simultaneous interpretation: Users
bring their own interpreters and Zoom provides multiple audio channels
that mix the original and interpreter audio at an optimal ratio that
enables the listener to understand the interpreter but also hear the
tone of the original speaker."
This would obviously be interesting to test when Zoom (and presumably ICANN will enable)
Other things of note :
"Zoom Chat -
Comments and reactions (beta): These
enhancements organize conversations happening in parallel and allow
users to react to specific messages with emojis, greatly improving the
user experience."
"Zoom Meetings
- Live transcripts: Following the success of recording transcripts, this AI-based functionality powered by Otter.ai transcribes Zoom meetings in real-time and saves transcripts for future reference.
- Meeting notes, action items, and timelines: Users
may take notes directly in the Zoom interface or use Zoom’s live
transcription (see above) for voice note taking. Notes and AI-derived
action-items are automatically made available to invited meeting
participants after the meeting via Meeting Timelines.
- Video and slideshow virtual backgrounds: New
capabilities for mixed-reality virtual backgrounds include support for
videos and Microsoft PowerPoint files, in addition to existing JPEG
support."
