Live Captioning<\/strong>
\nLive captioning\u00a0automatically generates closed captions<\/u>\u00a0for all\u00a0Zoom\u00a0meetings\/classes in real-time, allowing participants to read along.\u00a0 In addition to increasing accessibility for the hearing impaired, this feature allows users in loud environments or without headphones to easily understand what is going on. It also helps students during live classes in situations where they did not fully hear what was being said. Please note that\u00a0only the meeting host can turn this feature on<\/u>.<\/p>\n

Click\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0to learn how to activate Live Captioning.<\/p>\n

Blurred Background<\/strong>
\nThe blurred background feature allows users to automatically blur their background.Now you don\u2019t need to use the \u201cfake\u201d virtual backgrounds or sit in a neat place.\u00a0Furthermore, blurred background is available to almost all types of computers, including those that do not meet the minimum requirements for the standard virtual backgrounds. Note that this feature is\u00a0only available with the latest release<\/u>\u00a0of Zoom, so please make sure to upgrade asap (learn\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0how to do that).<\/p>\n

Click\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0to learn for a short video explaining how to blur your background.<\/p>\n
