======================================================================

Zoom has announced the open beta availability of AI-powered name tags for 
Zoom Rooms, which it says will make it easier for virtual participants to 
identify co-participants. 

With the launch of digital name tags, the video conferencing company hopes to 
address inclusivity concerns surrounding modern hybrid working setups, 
harnessing a sense of connectivity. 

The system is based on an opt-in automatic recognition system, powered by 
artificial intelligence , however users concerned about their privacy with 
the digital solution can also opt to manually add their own name tags. Zoom 
Rooms gets new smart name tags 

By implementing this option, Zoom hopes to eliminate the awkward moments when 
co-participants are unsure of one anothers names by overlaying tags over 
individuals, even when appearing on a single video feed such as via a single 
camera in a shared office space. 

The California-based software maker said: This innovation is particularly 
beneficial when teams are meeting for the first time or when meetings include 
external parties, as it helps participants quickly connect and collaborate. 

An admin enables smart name tags, but individuals must then enroll and 
consent to the feature. 

The addition of smart name tags comes in response to an overwhelming majority 
(95%) of business leaders stating that their organization has become more 
flexible over the past two years, with another four in five (82%) planning to 
boost flexibility over the coming two years. 

Proudly proclaiming that Zoom Rooms has more than two million licenses, smart 
tags are likely to have a profound effect, even if, for the most part, they 
go unnoticed. More from TechRadar Pro Bad news  up to a million people can
