ZOOM, undoubtedly has been our favourite companion during the ongoing pandemic. The popular online meeting platform Zoom has announced a new feature called Focus mode. Zoom says that the feature is meant to keep students from getting distracted while they’re in a virtual classroom.
“Focus Mode allows educators to see their students’ videos, and students to see their teachers without seeing other class participants. With this feature, teachers can supervise their class, but students won’t be distracted by their peers’ video feeds or feel self-conscious about turning on their own camera.” says Zoom help centre in a blog post.
How the focus mode will work on ZOOM?
When a user turns on Focus mode, the participants attending the meeting will not be able to see other participant’s videos or screen shares. Access to those screen shares will be limited to the user alone.
How is this feature different from Webinar mode?
Well, the feature offers similar controls to that of the Webinar mode. However, Webinar mode does not come with the free account and provides less flexibility when compared to normal Zoom meetings.
You can turn on and off feature on the online meeting platform at your disposal, which will help you to use the feature for specific use cases. Focus mode is additionally available to free accounts, which can further help more teachers to show students during a less destructive environment.
When focus mode is on,
- participants will also be able to see their own video
- names of other participants
- emoji reactions by others
How to turn ‘FOCUS MODE’ on?
The feature can be enabled for user accounts, groups, or even individual users. To access Focus mode, you can click on the “More” button that appears on the bottom panel of the screen while you’re in a call.
