New Changes Coming to Zoom Web Interface

On August 26, 2026, Zoom will release a new web interface that provides a more unified and intuitive user experience. You can expect to see these changes when you log in at ucr.zoom.us.

What Is Changing?

Zoom is enhancing their web interface with a simplified layout, allowing you to access key features faster and manage your Zoom settings more efficiently. The new Zoom web interface features the following:

• Simplified web home experience: The web signed-in homepage offers a cleaner layout, similar to the desktop app, with quick access to the universal header and options to start, join, or schedule a meeting.
• Universal navigation menu: The enhanced header provides universal access to Home, product waffle menu, and profile menu.
• Product waffle menu: Located in the top-right corner of the universal header, the product waffle menu replaces the previous left navigation panel and provides a unified cross-product navigation. It opens each product in a new tab on the web allowing users to configure a product’s settings on its own page. To customize how the products appear, click the product waffle menu, then drag and drop items to reorder them.
• Updated Profile menu: Located in the top-right corner next to the product waffle menu, the new Profile menu has more options. You can click My account to access your personal profile settings.
• Updated My account options: Some features that were originally accessible from the left navigation menu were moved under My account, such as Profile, Reports (previously Analytics & Reports), Personal Contacts, Personal Devices, Settings, Recordings and Transcripts, and Summaries.
