The new feature announced by Zoom will help a user to address another user by their preferable pronouns like he/him/his, she/her/her, and they/them/theirs. This is being considered a very important feature by the LGBTQ community members as it gives them their much-deserved respect. The pronoun will be visible to others as it will appear on the side of the profile.

A user will have the right to not share their pronouns. In the case of accounts that have more than one user, the feature will remain off by default. The option to turn the feature on will remain with the administrator of accounts with multiple users.

Zoom is all set to roll out the feature with its next 5.7.0 update. Zoom has developed this feature after it received feedback from customers, social organizations, diversity leaders, and educators.

Microsoft has called Windows 11 "one of its most significant updates to Windows since 2015". The update reportedly lets a user find & run their favorite Android applications on their Windows laptops and Windows PCs. Fr a developer, Windows 11 will serve as a huge beneficiary as it will let them collect payment from a user through their in-app payment system without paying Microsoft any commission.

Another major update that has been reported from the launch event of Microsoft's Windows 11 is docking the external monitor of a computer to make a call to another room and get back to dock it again once the call is over.
