Zoom adds a Focus Mode to its video calling app: How to enable it

Zoom has added a new Focus mode to its video calling app. The new feature has been introduced to keep students from getting distracted while in a virtual classroom. The company announced this feature in a blog post, which was first spotted by The Verge.

When the feature is enabled, a host will be able to access all participants’ videos, but other users in the meeting won’t get distracted by the live videos of their peers. Zoom says participants’ shared screens will only be visible to the host and co-hosts, but the host can also allow all other participants to view.
