A host of new features are arriving for
Zoom
to expand certain services and make some existing ones easier to use in order to, ideally, foster better communication.
The bulk of the features will come to
Zoom One
, the company's service platform that brings together “a variety of [company] tools” into one package.Â

Zoom One's new tools
Apple
CarPlay will now also be supported on Zoom, allowing people to hop into meetings while driving via the CallKit controls or look at their schedule for the day. Although, we strongly recommend not checking your itinerary mid-drive; please wait until you're parked.
Regarding phone calls, Zoom Phone will have new ways to manage audio files via an expanded Asset Library. This is a centralized hub where hosts can upload and share audio files “including greetings, music on hold, [and] prompts,” according to Zoom. Administrators of groups can set up an emergency call system by mapping out numbers to external teams or third-party systems. Plus, they can activate the
new Survivability tool
in order to provide basic phone functionality during an outage.
And the final major update to Zoom One is Zoom Whiteboard Plus. The
base version of the tool
allows participants to draw on a digital whiteboard to share ideas with each other. Whiteboard Plus adds three new features: Tables to help organize a team’s thoughts, Mind Map for creating flow charts to further organization, and @mentions to tag people outside of the meeting.
Quality-of-life changes
The more minor changes are focused on quality-of-life changes. Zoom Rooms, in particular, will have a different user interface. It'll sport “larger fonts, sharper colors, and a better layout” to make certain aspects, like the meeting schedule, easier to see. Displays in a Rooms meeting will be redesigned to have a better layout so that notifications and the in-meeting chat window aren’t blocking the view.

Originally exclusive to the desktop app, Workspace Reservation will be making its way to iOS and Android devices. With this tool, you’ll be able to book on-site work resources and spaces. It appears all of the original desktop tools will be present on mobile including personalized suggestions for locations from an AI and user questionnaires.
The announcement comes shortly after Zoom implemented a new suite of features for the
Team Chat tool
, and looking at the company's latest news, it’s hard to imagine what will be revealed at the
Zoomtopia event
.
We should also mention a disturbing trend happening lately of Zoom users being targeted by malicious websites. Be sure to check out
TechRadar’s recent coverage of these malware campaigns
so you can stay safe.Â
Update 10-3-2022:
A representative confirmed to us everything in the update is now live. They also confirmed that certain features will be exclusive to certain tiers. For example, in order to use Sign Language Interpretation, you will need a license for either the Pro, Business, Education, or Enterprise plans, plus the Webinar add-on. And Whiteboard Plus will have to be bought separately.
Here's our pick of the
best video conferencing software
around

Starting with Zoom Meetings, there will be a new designation for Sign Language Interpretation. A host can select multiple participants in a meeting to speak through a sign language interpreter for those who need it. In turn, people can select which of the interpreters they want to watch.

A host of new features are arriving for [Zoom](https://www.techradar.com/reviews/zoom) to expand certain services and make some existing ones easier to use in order to, ideally, foster better communication.
The bulk of the features will come to [Zoom One](https://www.techradar.com/news/zoom-is-undergoing-some-serious-changes-that-you-migh-actually-like), the company's service platform that brings together “a variety of \[company\] tools” into one package.

## Zoom One's new tools
[Apple](https://www.techradar.com/uk/tag/apple) CarPlay will now also be supported on Zoom, allowing people to hop into meetings while driving via the CallKit controls or look at their schedule for the day. Although, we strongly recommend not checking your itinerary mid-drive; please wait until you're parked.
Regarding phone calls, Zoom Phone will have new ways to manage audio files via an expanded Asset Library. This is a centralized hub where hosts can upload and share audio files “including greetings, music on hold, \[and\] prompts,” according to Zoom. Administrators of groups can set up an emergency call system by mapping out numbers to external teams or third-party systems. Plus, they can activate the [new Survivability tool](https://zoom.sjv.io/c/221109/1531360/17910?subId1=trdpro-gb-1024342803192450760&sharedId=trdpro-gb&u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.zoom.us%2Fzoom-phone-local-survivability-module%2F) in order to provide basic phone functionality during an outage.
And the final major update to Zoom One is Zoom Whiteboard Plus. The [base version of the tool](https://www.techradar.com/news/your-zoom-calls-may-soon-get-a-lot-more-physical) allows participants to draw on a digital whiteboard to share ideas with each other. Whiteboard Plus adds three new features: Tables to help organize a team’s thoughts, Mind Map for creating flow charts to further organization, and @mentions to tag people outside of the meeting.
## Quality-of-life changes
The more minor changes are focused on quality-of-life changes. Zoom Rooms, in particular, will have a different user interface. It'll sport “larger fonts, sharper colors, and a better layout” to make certain aspects, like the meeting schedule, easier to see. Displays in a Rooms meeting will be redesigned to have a better layout so that notifications and the in-meeting chat window aren’t blocking the view.

Originally exclusive to the desktop app, Workspace Reservation will be making its way to iOS and Android devices. With this tool, you’ll be able to book on-site work resources and spaces. It appears all of the original desktop tools will be present on mobile including personalized suggestions for locations from an AI and user questionnaires.
The announcement comes shortly after Zoom implemented a new suite of features for the [Team Chat tool](https://www.techradar.com/news/zooms-answer-to-slack-is-getting-a-new-name-and-some-new-tools), and looking at the company's latest news, it’s hard to imagine what will be revealed at the [Zoomtopia event](https://zoom.sjv.io/c/221109/1531360/17910?subId1=trdpro-gb-8212188796738702345&sharedId=trdpro-gb&u=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.zoom.us%2Fev%2FAmI6_1Mt8-7eDXMuTIJfdjzFJe-YPfJzAcEi9TRMzCUeedRviNuI~AoCZrVz5GKkRySO4wZ0zOTqlTK5vlam_IeCNp-xGZ9E9NujzLlw7bbV5-g).
We should also mention a disturbing trend happening lately of Zoom users being targeted by malicious websites. Be sure to check out [TechRadar’s recent coverage of these malware campaigns](https://www.techradar.com/news/these-fake-zoom-websites-want-to-trick-you-into-downloading-malware) so you can stay safe.
**Update 10-3-2022:** A representative confirmed to us everything in the update is now live. They also confirmed that certain features will be exclusive to certain tiers. For example, in order to use Sign Language Interpretation, you will need a license for either the Pro, Business, Education, or Enterprise plans, plus the Webinar add-on. And Whiteboard Plus will have to be bought separately.
