Zoom offers a range of AI-powered features designed to enhance collaboration and improve meeting efficiency. These tools can assist before, during, and after meetings, helping users stay organized and save time.

AI features in Zoom, including meeting summaries, smart recordings, and email follow-ups, must be manually enabled for each meeting. These tools are not activated by default and will only function when specifically turned on by the meeting host or participant with the appropriate permissions. |
AI Companion
Zoom’s AI Companion can generate concise summaries of meetings, capturing key points, decisions, and action items—eliminating the need for manual note-taking. After the meeting, participants can review what was discussed or catch up on what they missed. It also allows users to ask specific questions about the meeting content in real time or afterward (e.g., “What did we decide about the budget?”), making it easy to retrieve relevant details.
Smart Recordings
Smart Recordings use AI to analyze meeting recordings and segment them into chapters based on topic changes. The system highlights key discussion points and identifies next steps or action items. This makes it easier to locate and review specific parts of a meeting without watching the entire recording.
Email Summaries
Following a meeting, Zoom’s AI Companion can generate and send automated email summaries to participants. These typically include a recap of key discussion points, decisions made, and any assigned action items.
Whiteboard Content Generation
Zoom’s AI can assist with content creation on Zoom Whiteboard by generating diagrams, text, or layouts based on prompts or meeting context. This helps teams quickly set up collaborative spaces for brainstorming, planning, or outlining ideas.
