Video conferencing app Zoom has seen tremendous growth over the past few years and this tool continues to get better thanks to new features like Focus Mode. Perfect for remote workers and students of all ages, this new feature helps to minimize distractions in the background so that it's easier to keep attention fixated on the main presenter or speaker.
When Zoom's Focus Mode is activated, users will not be able to see anyone other than themselves and the speaker or teacher, and the host will still be able to see all participants on the call. This new mode also helps to limit distractions by preventing users from sharing their screens with others on the call. Now, this feature is available to all Zoom users, including those who have opened free accounts.
