Zoom shared new features for Zoom Workplace and Business Services. One key update is the launch of Zoom Workflow Automation. This no-code workflow builder helps users automate tasks in Zoom Workplace apps. You can use it for Zoom Meetings, Zoom Team Chat, and Zoom Docs. It also works with third-party apps. AI Companion helps Workflow Automation summarize meetings. It gives actionable insights, streamlining operations and boosting productivity.
Wei Li, head of Team Chat at Zoom, highlighted the company’s focus on using AI for better efficiency. He said, “Organizations can use Zoom Workflow Automation to create workflows across Zoom Workplace and other apps. This helps teams automate their work.”” Li noted that the platform is designed for ease of use, even for teams without technical backgrounds.
Zoom added Zoom Clips avatars with AI Companion alongside Workflow Automation. This feature offers 18 pre-made avatars to create video clips easily and quickly. This feature helps cut down on unnecessary meetings. It also makes communication easier across different time zones. Users can create a clip by selecting an avatar and adding a script, eliminating the need for multiple video recordings.
Other enhancements to Zoom Workplace include:
Forms in Zoom Docs: Users can create and distribute forms to gather information both internally and externally. The data table sub-row feature enables nested items within a table for improved management and project tracking.
Companion Audio for Zoom Rooms: This feature lets participants use a laptop’s microphone for better sound. It improves audio quality without needing extra in-room microphones. The “listen” feature in companion mode lets users listen through connected headphones or assistive devices. This is helpful for people with hearing impairments.
YouTube App for Zoom Meetings: Users can search and watch YouTube videos in a Zoom Meeting. This offers high-quality video for everyone, without the lag that often comes with screen sharing.
These changes show Zoom’s dedication to using AI to boost workplace efficiency and teamwork.
