Some cool updates from Zoom's Zoomtopia event today:

1) OnZoom: An online events platform and marketplace. Users can create, host, monetize (and discover) events like fitness classes, concerts, music lessons, etc all on the Zoom Meetings platform. Host up to 1k attendees.

2) Zapps: These are apps you can use within Zoom to help improve productivity and create more engaging experiences. Initially 25 launch partners are included (Atlassian, Asana, Slack, Coursera and others). Brings the native app experience into Zoom Meetings

3) UCaaS Platform Updates: Increased functionality around Zoom meetings including (but not limited to):

- Immersive screens (example shown below)
- New reactions / animations
- Recording highlights
- Enhanced whiteboarding features

4) Expanded Zoom SDK offering: A more customizable SDK that allows developers to bring Zoom's high-quality video, audio and instant chat into your own app

5) End-to-End Encryption (E2EE): Typically Zoom’s cloud generates encryption keys and distributes them to meeting participants using Zoom apps as they join. With Zoom’s E2EE, the meeting’s host generates encryption keys and uses public key cryptography to distribute these keys..

...to the other meeting participants. Zoom’s servers become oblivious relays and never see the encryption keys required to decrypt the meeting contents

Some cool announcements! I wanted to see more around Zoom Phone, and potential applications (ex something around call centers). Might see more of this tomorrow!
