During the duration of Zoom's Zoomtopia conference this Wednesday, new features such as end-to-end encryption, OnZoom, customizable SDKs for developers to build apps and enhanced communications platforms were announced.
"Zoom is for you, the courageous, hardworking and creative community of our users, and so is Zoomtopia. "We are working hard to create world-class, virtual events," said Eric Yuan, CEO. ”
“One thing we've learned in this difficult time is that remote work works. The future will bring a hybrid of better in-person and virtual communications. The announcements we're making today at Zoomtopia show that Zoom is built for now and for the future. We have her platform to support what the world needs, today, tomorrow, and in the future.”
Zoomtopia is a two-day conference that takes place online on October 14 and 15. It is free for the public.
The end-to-end encryption feature will be available for technical preview to free and paid Zoom users from October 18-24. This feature can be enabled at account, group and user level. If configured this way, it can be turned on and off by the owner of a device per meeting. When enabled, this feature encrypts communication between participants in a meeting using encryption keys known only to participants' devices.
Zoom also revealed that it is adding improvements to the application SDKs. This will allow developers and companies to upgrade their custom applications that use video with the Zoom platform, which is available on Android, iOS and the web.
Zoom also launched a public beta for OnZoom, an online events platform and marketplace for paid users who want to create, host and monetize classes, concerts or fundraisers through the Zoom Meetings platform. Users can list and sell tickets for events through OnZoom to 100 to 1.000 attendees, depending on permission of Zoom Meeting.
