Netchat allows you to easily chat with other users in the same subnet.

The program creates an icon in the systray and with a simple left or right mouse click, you can chat, send your clipboard or transfer a file. You can create a fixed user which can reside in another subnet if you choose as well. These users can be configured as gateways which will connect both NetChat subnets together.

Additionally, an HTTP server is included to share pictures and other files, and for users which are currently offline, the message can be left on an FTP server.

Release Notes

Changes to existing features

    Consolidated chat search
    The Search and Jump to bars in the desktop client are consolidated into one unified search. Results can be sorted by type (contacts, channels, files, messages).

New and enhanced features

    General features
        Additional MSI/PLIST/GPO options
            Require authentication when joining a meeting/webinar - EnforceAppSignInToJoin
            Disabled by default, this requires the desktop client or mobile app to be signed-in to a Zoom account to join any meetings or webinars. If the host requires specific authentication, the user joining will have to pass that specific authentication check as well.
            Install latest version automatically - AlwaysCheckLatestVersion
            Disabled by default, if a user’s version is lower than the newest available version, then the app will download the newer version automatically.
            Disable use of Closed Captioning - DisableClosedCaptioning
            Disabled by default, this disables use of closed captioning in meetings or webinars.
            Disable use of Q&A - DisableQnA
            Disabled by default, this disables use of Q&A in webinars.
            Set behavior for Play sound when I receive a new message setting - PlaySoundForIMMessage
            Enabled by default, this can disable the audio notifications when an IM message is received.

            Show a preview of IM messages in system notification - ShowIMMessagePreview
            Enabled by default, this can disable the message previews in system notifications when an IM message is received.
            Mute IM notifications when in a meeting - MuteIMNotificationWhenInMeeting
            Enabled by default, this can prevent users from muting IM message system notifications when in a meeting.
        Consistent date formatting
        Date formatting for chats, meetings, and call logs are adjusted to align with date formatting used in other desktop and mobile versions.
    Meeting/webinar features
        Reintroducing: Active Apps Notifier
        When an app has real-time access to meeting/webinar content, such as video, audio, and/or chat, the Active Apps Notifier will appear in the same window as the current meeting in the top-left corner next to the encryption icon. Details of which apps have access and which participant approved the app are displayed. Clicking on the app opens the Marketplace page to provide more information about the app and its developer.
        Local Recording support for Immersive View
        Hosts using the Immersive View feature can record this view locally to the device. When in Immersive View, only the immersive scene will be captured, while other video thumbnails will not be recorded.
        Watermark enhancements
        Watermarks will display the entire email address over a participant’s shared screen and video tile, as well as displayed over their video in most video layouts (Speaker, Gallery, Side-by-side). The watermark is also visibly more apparent as a tiled pattern across the video or shared screen.
        Non-verbal feedback enhancement: Coffee cup
        The Coffee cup option, indicating you are temporarily away from the meeting, is returning to Non-verbal feedback options. This non-verbal feedback option feature requires client version 5.7.3 or higher.
        In-meeting chat emoji support
        Participants can select and use emojis directly in the in-meeting chat panel.
    Meeting features
        Focus mode
        In focus mode, only the host can see participants’ videos or profile pictures when video is off. Additionally, participant’s screen sharing can only be viewed by the host, who can switch between multiple shared screens and optionally allow participants to view others’ shared screens. Focus Mode is activated from the “More” menu on the toolbar. The account owner and admins can enable Focus mode for use in meetings through web settings. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a web release currently scheduled for August 7, 2021.
        Post-meeting survey
        Meeting hosts can now configure a post-meeting survey to launch at the end of a meeting. This survey can be created using the native Zoom survey tools, or a link to a 3rd-party survey can be used instead. Participants will be prompted with the survey once the meeting ends.
        Add video to waiting room
        Account owners, admins, and users can add a video when customizing the appearance of the waiting room in the web portal. Participants in the Waiting Room are able to view the video while they wait for the host to allow them into the meeting. This feature requires client version 5.7.3 or higher and must be enabled by Zoom.
        Mute and Video Off when joining a recorded/live streamed Meeting
        When participants join a meeting that is already being recorded and/or live streamed, they will join with their video off and muted until they consent to the recording prompt. After consenting, they will be able to unmute and turn on their video, if the host allows them to.
    Chat features
        Video playback directly in Zoom chat
        Users can send and receive video files in Zoom Chat, then download and play the video directly in the Zoom client. Video files are limited to MP4, M4V, and MOV types, and limited to 30MB. If larger than this or not in a supported format, the video will transfer through normal file transfer. Sending videos on the mobile app will transcode the video file into an MP4 (H.264 codec with ACC stereo audio) with 720p resolution maximum.
    Phone features
        Call queue and auto receptionist SMS (Power Pack)
        If enabled by the account owner or admin, phone users can send or receive SMS messages using phone numbers associated with call queues or auto receptionists. This feature requires the Power Pack add-on.
        Meet and chat options
        Users can access options to meet or chat with the associated users when viewing the History, Voicemail, Lines, or SMS tabs. The meet and chat options only appear if the associated phone number belongs to an internal Zoom user. Chat option only appears for customers who have chat deployed.
        View contact card and presence
        Users can view users’ contact card, profile picture, and presence status in the History, Voicemail, Lines, or SMS tabs. This only applies if the associated phone number belongs to an internal Zoom user.
