Join us as we dive into the exciting updates of Zoho Cliq 6.0, designed to supercharge your teamwork!
With this release at Zoho Cliq, we’re not just adding shiny new tools; we’re fine-tuning your experience to help you stay organized and connected. Everything is designed to make your life easier and productive.
✍🏼 Composing messages is sublime
The new text editor makes formatting text, adding links, and referencing messages a breeze. With rich formatting options and a preview feature that shows exactly how your message will appear before you hit send, you’ll be able to communicate with flair and confidence.
Ref: Quote a message by simply highlighting the desired text.
For those who prefer to use markdowns, don't worry; you still can apply formatting that way. Additionally, we've enhanced visibility for options to schedule messages and record audio, video, and screens with this upgrade! While we were at it, we moved actions above the composer to the chat header, unifying all actions in one convenient place.
🦸🏽🦸🏽 ️Get a quick summary of content on demand
Think of the on-demand summaries feature as your personal genie. This addition allows you to generate concise summaries of chat conversations with just a click. It’s designed to enhance productivity, streamline communication, and ensure that important information is easily accessible.
We've also saved you from sifting through chats for ages to catch up on a conversation when you're added to a channel or added as a follower to a thread. Along with the channel-add notification, you'll also see an option to summarize the conversation.
How to enable on-demand summaries
Admins can navigate to Organization → Configurations → Zia and enable Conversation Summaries.
💬 Extract any text from images
Want to extract the bill number from an invoice or simply copy the phone number from a visiting card? We've got you covered.
Cliq now allows you to copy text from a screenshot your colleague has shared with you and add them to a document.
💼 Know the best time to reach out to your colleagues
No more guessing when to reach out. Now, you can connect with your colleagues at the right time.
With probable check-in hours, you can stay updated on the windows of your colleague's availability and reach out to them based on their unique schedule. This helps you plan your communication, boost productivity, and collaborate like a pro.
Data for this feature comes from Zoho People, and organization admins decide if the data is shown to their users. We also support individual configurations for standalone Cliq users.
How to enable availability predictions
For organizations integrated with Zoho People, the admin can enable this from the admin panel.
For organizations who haven't integrated with Zoho People, individual users can configure this in the Personalize section under Profile and settings →Privacy → Usual working hours.
👍🏼 Stay informed of every reaction
Reaction notifications allow you to express how you feel about a message using emojis, which makes communication more efficient and engaging. Each reaction to a message you send triggers a notification, ensuring that team members are promptly informed when their messages receive acknowledgment or appreciation.
🛤️ Apply custom branding to meetings
Get ready to jazz up your video calls with Cliq!
You can now add a dash of personality to your meetings with custom logos and unique backgrounds. Whether you're representing your team or just want to showoff your favorite vacation spot, it’s time to make those virtual gatherings as vibrant as your ideas.
What's the admin's role here?
As an organization admin, you can:
Set a background that reflects your organization's identity across all stages of a meeting.
Customize theme colors, text colors, and transparency levels.
Upload your organization's logo for a personalized touch.
Ensure a consistent visual experience across devices (TV, web, mobile, and tablets).
You can now upload new branding themes, set them as default, or even mandate them for all users across the organization.
🔓Lock your meetings to keep them private
Ever shared a meeting link and worried about unintended users joining? Say goodbye to that anxiety with our new locked meetings. Simply lock the meeting before sharing an external link or once all necessary participants have joined. Anyone else will need to request access, giving you full control over who gets in.
📆 Schedule recurring reminders for custom intervals
If you've ever needed to remind people about daily stand-ups or weekly check-ins, recurring reminders are here to your rescue. You can choose from daily, weekly, or monthly recurrences, or even use a custom recurrence option.
🕹️ Tailor keyboard shortcuts to your needs
We've enhanced the keyboard shortcuts interface and introduced new shortcuts. Hit "?" (Shift + /) anytime to view all shortcuts and swiftly navigate through Zoho Cliq.
Personalized experience: Tailor your shortcuts to fit your workflow. While some core system shortcuts remain fixed, the rest are fully customizable to suit your needs. This update is inclusive of any keyboard layout and personalized app system shortcuts, ensuring compatibility with international and custom preferences.
Custom shortcuts: Got a favorite co-worker, an important thread, a handy bot, or a widget? Assign custom shortcuts to them and access everything in a snap!
Missing a shortcut? If any of your current shortcuts don't seem to be functioning, please let us know at support@zohocliq.com. We have plans to introduce more shortcuts and custom options to enhance your Cliq experience.
