In this article we will demonstrate How to Use Focus Mode in Zoom. Zoom updated its famous video conferencing product this week. Today, the app is rolling out a new "Focus" mode that is intended to keep students focused during online classes.
Due to the fact that online classes have become more than required throughout the world as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, audio and video calling apps are continually adding new features and enhancing their services to provide a better user experience. Zoom now offers a Focus mode that may be used by anyone but is especially useful for teachers.
The business first announced the functionality in a blog post earlier today. Once the host activates Focus mode, the other participants on the call will lose their ability to see each other. While the host will retain access to all participants' webcams, other participants will be uninhibited by their peers' live videos.
In the blog Zoom stated Focus Mode enables educators to view their students' videos and students to view their teachers without being able to watch the rest of the class. Teachers can watch their classes using this tool, but students will not be distracted by their classmates' video feeds or feel self-conscious about putting on their own camera.
The capability can be activated for accounts, groups, or even individual users, according to Zoom. Focus mode is accessed via the More button that appears during a call.
