In recognition that many employees are still working from home , and 
conference rooms still play an important part in colleague collaboration, 
Zoom has announced a new AI feature to make sure everybody is in view. 

Intelligent Director for Zoom Rooms combines multiple cameras with artificial 
intelligence to make sure each participant on a call is captured in the best 
quality and from the best angle possible. 

Capable of adjusting to movements like head turns and repositions, 
Intelligent Director for Zoom Rooms promises to be a clever framing tool for 
up to 16 participants in medium- to large-sized rooms. Intelligent Director

Zoom Chief Product Officer Smita Hashim described Intelligent Director as the 
solution that can bring employees together, regardless of location, so they 
can truly connect face-to-face. 

This is indeed something we have already seen before with the launch of Zooms 
Smart Gallery feature. Instead, that uses a single camera combined with AI to 
cater to small- and medium-sized rooms. 

The company explained that remote participants can now have face-to-face 
conversations with each Zoom Rooms participant, allowing in-room participants 
to be seen and heard. 

While Zoom may be behind the software and artificial intelligence 
advancements that have helped to deliver this feature, recognition is given 
to Apple, AVer, Dell, HP Poly, Intel, Logitech, and Yealink for providing the 
necessary hardware. 

Whether or not remote working is here to stay, video conferencing continues 
to prove a vital part of any companys IT portfolio for keeping colleagues 
connected, and continuous feature additions and improvements are one way of 
securing a healthy market share for Zoom. In need of some work-enhancing 
software? Here are the best productivity tools
