Hello Zoom Developers, here are the updates for the **Video SDK Web 1.6.2 release** 🙂

## Added

- Support for optimizing screen share for video clips
  - With `optimizedForSharedVideo` option in `stream.startShareScreen` method, `stream.enableOptimizeForSharedVideo(true)`, and `stream.updateSharedVideoQuality(quality)` methods to optimize the experience of sharing video clips

- “Sharing” statistic data
  - With `stream.subscribeShareStatisticData()` and the `share-statistic-data-change` event, you can get the statistic metrics of sharing, such as ‘latency’, ‘resolution’, ‘fps’, etc.

- Virtual background support for Chromium-like browsers without SharedArrayBuffer
  - With `enforceVirtualBackground` option in the `client.init` method to enable the feature; note that this may result in high CPU and memory usage on low-performance devices.

## Enhanced

- `user_identity` support, which is now also returned as a `participant` attribute
- Timing of the Promise resolve call returned by the `stream.startAudio` method

## Fixed

- An issue where command channel messages could not be properly decrypted between main session and subsessions
- An edge case that could sometimes cause others’ videos to not show properly

You can also see the update listed on our Changelog: [Support](https://devsupport.zoom.us/hc/en-us/sections/9481845454349-Zoom-Video-SDK)

Thanks,  
Tommy
