You will also get the update from 5.2.2 that includes:
  • Custom gallery view organization – you can move your student’s video feeds around in the order you wish and it will remain as such until the end of the session.
  • Multi-pin and multi-spotlight – your VCM can spotlight you and other students at the same time (new Active Speaker view). IMPORTANT: your students must be on Zoom version 5.2.2 or later to see this. If using an earlier version, students will only see the person who is speaking (active speaker).
