In Zoom news, the most recent enhancement allows instructors to admit participants from the waiting room even while the instructor is in a Breakout Room. This is helpful if you use waiting rooms and your class is working in Breakout Rooms. If a student joins late or gets kicked offline and needs to be let in to the Zoom Meeting. No longer does the instructor have to return to the main room in order to check if students are there waiting to be let in, they can be admited while the instructor is in a Breakout Room.  Host can admit participants from the Waiting Room while within a Breakout Room  Host is notified of participants in the Waiting Room, even while currently in a Breakout Room. The host can admit each participant one at a time, or all at once. If pre-assignments for breakout rooms are active, participants will be asked to join their pre-assigned breakout rooms. Otherwise, the host can assign participants directly to the breakout room of their choosing.  The full details of all updates are available on the Zoom Website. As always, be sure to keep your Zoom software up to date.  To update your Zoom Application, check out these directions- https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362233-Where-Do-I-Download-The-Latest-Version
