Zoom has learned to replace useless calls with short videos
Miscellaneous / / November 10, 2023
Record a short video and send it to your colleagues directly on Zoom.
On Zoom appeared a tool called Zoom Clips. It allows you to record, edit and share short video messages with colleagues.
To do this, the organizer needs to record a video inside the platform, and then change the sharing settings, providing it to specific people. After this, all specified colleagues will be able to view it at their place. If you wish, you can comment on the post or leave reactions under it.
All such videos are saved in the new “Clips” tab. Analytics are also available there, allowing the author to make sure that the recipients watched the recording.
In addition, Clips supports virtual backgrounds and noise reduction technology, just like regular calls.
There are two versions of Zoom Clips: Zoom One customers get access to Clips Plus as part of their plan at no additional cost. Everyone else can now use only Clips Basic with a number of restrictions - you can record no more than five clips up to two minutes long. Starting in December, the extended plan will be available to everyone via a separate subscription for $7 (≈600 rubles) per month.
The company hopes that the new tool will help teams reduce the number of meetings they participate in and improve employee productivity.
