Zoom is a video conferencing and online meeting platform that allows users to connect remotely. It offers Video and audio conferencing, screen sharing, and recording features.
There are many settings one can configure in the Zoom app on Windows. Users can download and install, start Zoom automatically when Windows starts, use dual monitors, turn Video and audio on or off screen lock, mute microphone when joining meetings, change where to save meeting recordings, and more.
When you use Zoom on Windows, the chat messages you receive are previewed in the notification center. There’s a setting to turn off previewing messages to protect your privacy.
You might want to turn the message preview on or off in Zoom for several reasons. For instance, you may wish to keep your messages private so no one else can see them. Alternatively, you may want to see previews to decide whether a message is important quickly.
Additionally, turning off message previews can help reduce distractions during a meeting or presentation when you do not want to be interrupted by notifications.
