  • Enhanced data privacy notices - Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS

• Chat features
  • Manager field available in contact card - Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS
    When a manager is added to your Profile details, either manually or mapped through SSO, this will also be available in the desktop and mobile clients. Only users in your account will be able to view your manager in your contact card.
  • Enhancements to deactivated user visibility - Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS
    Deactivated users will no longer be searchable, unless there is existing chat history with that user. Profile information and available interaction options will be reduced in line with their diminished user status. Deactivated users will be listed at the bottom of any contact list or group.
• Phone features

    If enabled by the admin, users can restore their soft-deleted history, voicemail, or recording within 30 days. After that, it will be permanently deleted from the account. This feature needs to be enabled by Zoom.
