Zoom announced, and shared instructional videos, today about some new features for educators (none of which I thought were really that very useful).

They had also previously announced that today was going to be the day they introduced a self-selecting option for breakout rooms (see ON SEPT. 21ST, ZOOM IMPLEMENTS A FEATURE TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO CHOOSE THEIR OWN BREAKOUT ROOMS).
