Zoom AI Companion allows meeting organizers to create an AI-generated summary of their meeting.

  • If the organizer enables this feature in the meeting, the participants will automatically receive a summary of the meeting after the end of the meeting (if the organizer decided to share the summary with the participants)
  • Meeting summaries are supported in more than 30 languages ​​(including Estonian)
  • Meeting summaries can be managed from the web portal and are emailed and posted to the meeting's group chat in Teams
  • Participants will receive a notification during the meeting when the summary of the meeting has started.
