Zoom makes it easy to connect with your personal and professional contacts via video calls. To make things interesting, you can use Captions in your Zoom call to improve your presentation. To encourage and share participants’ feelings, Zoom now allows them to use React to express their views and thoughts.
Of course, that requires you to update the Zoom app on your device. We’ll show you how to use Animated React in the Zoom desktop and mobile app.
