Zoom Meetings expands live translation with projected translated speech and voice simulation, adds timed removal notices for regulated participants, and introduces a Singapore fraud-awareness prompt for eligible meeting participants.
New, enhanced, and changed features
In-meeting features
New or enhanced featureVoice translator: Support projection of translated speech
The enhanced Voice Translator includes a Translate My Voice capability that, when enabled, allows participants to project their translated speech to other participants in the meeting. Listeners do not need the Voice Translator add-on to hear this translated speech but will still need it to adjust Voice Translator settings such as volume and language.
New or enhanced featureVoice Simulation for Voice Translator
Voice translator users can hear meeting speech translated and spoken aloud in their preferred language in a voice that sounds like the original speaker. This feature uses the original speaker's voiceprint to simulate their voice in the translated output. Users can enable or disable voiceprint consent for this feature under Settings > Meeting > In Meeting (Advanced) > Voice translator > Consent for Voice Simulation, or in-meeting when prompted. Users must have the Live Translation add-on or ZoomMate in order to use Voice Translator.
New or enhanced featureMeeting end countdown notification for regulated participants
For meetings subject to archiving duration limits, regulated participants will receive an in-meeting notification with a 30-second countdown when their participation limit is about to be reached. The customer configured timer begins when the first regulated user joins the meeting, and the same timer applies to all additional regulated users regardless of when they join. When the countdown completes, all regulated participants are removed automatically, and a disclaimer notification is displayed to them upon removal.
New or enhanced featureIn-meeting fraud warning dialog for participants in Singapore
Meeting participants in Singapore will see a one-time fraud awareness notice upon joining. The notice reminds users to stay vigilant against scams and explains how to report suspicious activity to Zoom. Participants can dismiss the notice by clicking Got it or select Do not show me again to disable future notices. The dialog appears when the participant is joining from Singapore and the host belongs to a different account or the participant is a guest.
Note: This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on the client release currently scheduled for October 30, 2026.
Note: The Enhancements to side panel behavior for full-screen meetings feature has been pulled from release due to issues with deployment and will be available in another upcoming release.

Previously these names were tucked behind the name-tag icon. Windows macOS
New or enhanced feature Enhanced Media: Support high bit rate for screen sharing When enabled, screen sharing can use a higher bit rate, up to 12 Mbps, to keep detailed content clear while the shared screen is in motion. This preserves fine detail in text, code, and design work when the screen scrolls or updates quickly. The bit rate increases when the content needs it and lowers automatically on limited connections.

Zoom Meetings adds tighter transcript retention controls and Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels for meetings. Admins can now set transcripts to be deleted as soon as processing finishes, and users can apply policy-driven labels that update meeting settings and visibility across Zoom.
New, enhanced, and changed features
Ability to set transcript retention to 0 days
Account owners and admins can set transcript retention to 0 days in the Web Portal, allowing transcripts to be removed as soon as post-meeting processing is complete. This option supports organizations with stricter privacy or compliance requirements that do not want transcripts persisted beyond what is needed for processing. Transcripts are retained for up to 24 hours after meeting processing to support required backend operations, such as meeting summary regeneration, before automatic deletion. This setting is available alongside existing transcript retention options at the account level. Web portal
Sensitivity classification labels for meetings
Users can select a sensitivity label when scheduling a Zoom meeting, with the dropdown defaulting to the label an admin has pre-assigned to their account. Admins configure policies per label that control which meeting settings, including cloud recording, automatic recording, meeting transcripts, meeting summaries, default encryption type, and hybrid services, are enabled or disabled when that label is applied. Users can change the label before scheduling based on meeting type, attendees, or agenda, and the corresponding policy-driven settings update immediately upon selection. Once scheduled, the sensitivity label is visible on meeting cards across Zoom Workplace app, in the email invite, and to all attendees in-meeting. Account owners and admins can enable or disable this feature from Admin Center > General section > Enable sensitivity labels. This feature is available only to organizations with a Microsoft Purview account. Organizations can import existing Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels for use in Zoom. Web portal

Zoom Meetings releases expanded AI meeting summaries, late-joiner catch-up, and admin controls for AI use and content security. The update also improves recordings, captions, breakout rooms, meeting calendars, file sharing, and mobile notifications, alongside minor bug fixes.
New, enhanced, and changed features
Admin features
New or enhanced feature: Ability to restrict users to edit or delete meeting summaries based on roles
Account owners and admins can control whether certain users can edit or delete meeting summaries through the following settings in the Web portal:- Restrict users from managing summaries: When enabled, removes the ability for hosts to delete summaries they own, limiting deletion to admins only.
- Restrict users from editing summaries: When enabled, prevents hosts from editing summaries they own.
Both of these restrictions apply to all roles below admin, including co-owners, editors, commenters, and viewers. These settings are available at the account and group levels.
AI features
New or enhanced feature: Support non AI feature users to view shared meeting summaries
Users without AI features can view meeting summaries that hosts or other participants have shared with them through the Summary tab in the Zoom web app. Any summaries shared with the user by a host are fully accessible under Shared with me tab. Previously, the Summary tab was hidden entirely for these users, preventing access to shared content.New or enhanced feature: Support automatic disabling of AI features for restricted users
Account owners and admins can restrict AI features in meetings when certain restricted users join. When a restricted user joins a meeting, AI features, such as Meeting Summary, Meeting Questions and My Notes, will automatically stop for the meeting and they will have no ability to start them.New or enhanced feature: Support AI catch-up prompt for late joiners
Participants who join a meeting late are automatically shown a pop-up offering to use AI to summarize what they missed. The prompt is available when the Meeting Questions setting is configured to allow the joining participant to ask questions.New or enhanced feature: Retirement of the "AI Companion" name
The AI Companion name has been retired and will no longer be in use. The AI features previously available under the AI Companion brand (Meeting Summaries, Chat Compose, Scheduling Assistance, Smart Recording, etc.) will remain available throughout Zoom Workplace. As a part of this change, the AI Companion settings page has been renamed to AI.New or enhanced feature: Default language setting for meeting summaries
Account admins and users can configure a default language for meeting summaries in the Web Portal at the account, group, and user levels. This setting controls the language in which summaries are generated, independent of the spoken language in the meeting. This setting supports all languages currently available for meeting summaries.
General features
New or enhanced feature: Video thumbnail capture in local recordings
When Record video during screen sharing is enabled, local recordings continue to include participant videos during screen sharing, even if the presenter displays the full meeting window, changes the meeting view, or hides the floating video thumbnails. If the floating thumbnails are unavailable, Zoom records participant videos from the current meeting view and displays them alongside the shared content. Previously, participant videos could be missing from local recordings in these scenarios.New or enhanced feature: Enhancements to unmanaged device restrictions for meeting content
Account owners and admins can restrict access to Meeting Recordings and Meeting Transcripts from devices not enrolled in Zoom Device Management, extending the existing restriction that applies to Meeting Summaries. When the Restrict users from using selected features on unauthorized devices setting is enabled, account owners and admins can select from the sub-options to enforce restrictions on Meeting summaries, Cloud recording, Transcript, or all of them. This setting can be managed at the account and group level, under General > Security.New or enhanced feature: Enhancements to the media indicator badge
When a host has an active Enhanced Media license, an Enhanced Media Enabled status row appears in the Meeting Info panel (the (i) icon) for the host and all participants, confirming that premium quality features are active for the meeting. The badge appears automatically with no setup required, and includes a Learn more link to guide the users.New or enhanced feature: Enhancements to the AI Avatar creation wizard appearance controls
Users will have their Touch Up My Appearance and Adjust for Low Light values from Video Settings automatically inherited when they enter the Appearance step of the AI Avatar creation wizard. Changes made to either setting during avatar creation are reflected back to Video Settings in real time, so the two surfaces remain consistent. The Adjust for Low Light control in the avatar wizard also gains an Auto/Manual mode toggle to match the equivalent control in Video Settings. If Low Light is set to Manual in Video Settings, the slider value carries over at the same level. Virtual backgrounds, video effects, and filters are not included in this sync and continue to be removed automatically during avatar creation.New or enhanced feature: Enhancements to post meeting experience
With the enhanced post-meeting experience, users can easily find meeting assets through a consistent user interface across the Home, Calendar, and Hub tabs of their Zoom Workplace app. Users can view these assets through icons and thumbnails directly on event cards of their past meetings. When an event card is clicked, a new Meeting assets section appears in the small meeting card, showing thumbnails that link directly to the corresponding asset tab in the full meeting card. Meeting assets are displayed regardless of the number of attendees, including single-user meetings.New or enhanced feature: Enhancements to AI-generated virtual backgrounds
Zoom makes it easier to generate a virtual background with AI, both in and out of meetings with these enhancements:- A more prominent way to generate: Generate now sits as a tile in the backgrounds panel alongside your other options, so AI generation is easy to find and start.
- Spaces: Choose a ready-made scene like a home office, coffee shop, or tropical beach and generate an AI background in one tap, no typing required.
- A larger prompt field: Gives you room to describe your own background in more detail when you want it.
- An optional style selector: Allows you to set the look of your generated background to match the feel you want.
New or enhanced feature: AI Avatars: Expanded hardware support
Users can access AI Avatars (Realistic and Stylized) on a wider range of devices. On Windows, supported graphics cards include NVIDIA RTX 3050 and AMD Radeon 6600.
Host features
- New or enhanced feature: Instant meetings on the calendar
Users can view instant meetings and their associated assets directly on the Calendar tab in the Zoom Workplace app and web portal. A setting to show or hide instant meetings on the calendar is available at the user level and is enabled by default. Users who do not want instant meetings displayed on their calendar can turn off this setting. The post-meeting recap pop-up for instant meetings is shown only to the meeting host, as there is a 30-second delay between meeting end and the meeting appearing on participant calendars.
In-meeting features
New or enhanced feature: Support management of screen capture capabilities for meeting content
Account owners and admins will have the option to enable or disable users' ability to capture a screenshot during Zoom meetings. When this setting is enabled, the Zoom meeting window will be rendered inaccessible or invisible to certain print screen functions and screen capture tools on the device. This means that when users attempt to capture shared content (screens, videos, whiteboards, in-meeting chat, captions, polls, and quizzes), the Zoom window will not appear in the captured image. This helps maintain content security and prevent data loss for sensitive information shared during meetings. This feature does not prevent screen capture using mobile phones, cameras or other external techniques.New or enhanced feature: Move breakout rooms settings into the right panel
Users can access Breakout Rooms directly in the right panel during a meeting, replacing the previous modal window. The right panel can be split to display Breakout Rooms alongside other panel content simultaneously. Users can also pop out the Breakout Rooms panel into a separate, movable window. These layout options give users more control over their in-meeting workspace without obstructing the main meeting view.New or enhanced feature: Meeting summary enablement prompts on mobile
Users who have both meeting summary and auto-start summary settings disabled and unlocked are prompted to turn on these settings from the Zoom mobile app. When scheduling a meeting, a banner appears encouraging the user to enable summaries for their hosted meetings. When viewing a summary from a meeting they attended, a similar prompt is displayed. Tapping Enable on either prompt activates both the meeting summary and auto-start summary settings across all of the user's meetings.New or enhanced feature: Display caption speaker name
When viewing captions, meeting participants can see the speaker's meeting display name alongside spoken text. Speaker names are pulled from the participant's current meeting display name. This allows multi-speaker meetings to identify who is speaking directly within the caption display.New or enhanced feature: Custom disclaimer for transcript
Account owners and admins can configure a custom disclaimer specifically for Meeting transcript. The disclaimer can be enabled or disabled from the Web portal and supports custom text input, following the same configuration options as existing custom disclaimers. When transcription starts in a meeting, participants are prompted with the disclaimer and must acknowledge it before transcription proceeds. This setting is available at the account and group levels.New or enhanced feature: Blocking copy and download of files in meeting chat general availability
The ability to prevent all meeting participants from copying or downloading content uploaded to meeting chat through Zoom's interface is generally available. The restriction covers files, images, and screenshots shared by any attendee during the meeting session. This setting controls Zoom application features but cannot prevent participants from using external screen capture tools, taking photos of screens, or utilizing other methods of content capture outside the Zoom application.New or enhanced feature: Automatic audio adjustment when joining a Zoom Room meeting on multiple devices
When a user joins the same meeting on both the Zoom desktop app and a Zoom Room, the system automatically detects both devices and mutes audio on the secondary device by default to help prevent echo and audio feedback. No user setup is required, and a clear, non-intrusive message is displayed to inform the user that audio behavior has been adjusted. Users retain the ability to manually re-enable audio on the desktop app at any time.New or enhanced feature: Ability to adjust playback speed for shared local video files
Users sharing local video files (such as MP4 or MOV files) in a meeting can control playback speed from within the in-meeting video player. Playback speed options range from 0.25x to 2.0x and are accessible during an active video file share through the Advanced tab. The updated player interface is consistent with the playback speed controls found in Zoom Clips, providing a unified experience across video sharing surfaces. This change allows participants to move through video content at a pace that suits the context of their meeting.
User features
New or enhanced feature: Recent files and tile improvements in screen share
When starting a screen share in a meeting, users can access recently used Zoom AI Productivity Suite documents from the Files tab in the share window. Up to six files appear, each with its document type icon, file name, folder location, and timestamp. Users can also create a new Zoom AI Productivity Suite file from the Files tab or select View all to see all their files, including those not shown in the recent list, and search for files. When a user has no files yet, the Files tab presents options to create their first one. Window tiles in the share picker display the source application's icon, and open tabs in the same browser are grouped into a single labeled tile. The three-tab picker structure, cloud-tile row, and all share-preference behavior are unchanged. Note: This enhancement will gradually roll out to customers.New or enhanced feature: Push notifications for last-minute meeting schedule changes on mobile
Users on the Zoom Workplace mobile app can receive push notifications when a meeting they are invited to is created, rescheduled, or canceled within a configurable time threshold before the start time, or when they are added to or removed from a meeting's invite list within that window. Notifications include the meeting topic, relevant time details, and a link to the calendar view for the relevant date and time. A new Meeting updates setting under Settings > Notifications & sounds > Set meeting notifications offers None, Same day, and All options, defaulting to None for existing users and Same day for new installs. Push notifications respect OS-level Do Not Disturb and Zoom's quiet hours settings; existing email notifications for changes outside the threshold window are unaffected. Note: Changes to a whole recurring meeting series will not send a push notification, but changes to an individual occurrence of a meeting series will.
Integration features
- New or enhanced feature: Schedule future meetings directly within Slack
Users can schedule their future meetings directly within Slack by typing /zoom schedule. The scheduling page includes options to configure Zoom AI settings such as auto-start meeting summary, auto-start questions, select who receives the meeting summary after the meeting ends, and specify who can ask questions during the meeting. The Enable schedule meeting in Slack admin settings must be enabled to use this feature.

Zoom Meetings adds automatic sign-in from browser meeting links, easier meeting summary resending, and improved transcript and caption controls. It also consolidates custom disclaimers, expands desktop prompts for meeting summary setup, and brings web calendar behavior in line with the desktop app.
Note: This release was originally scheduled for May 11, but is delayed by one week.
New, enhanced, and changed features
Support automatic sign-in when joining a meeting from a web browser
Users who are signed into the Zoom web portal and click a meeting link from a browser can be signed into the Zoom Workplace app during the meeting join flow. On the pre-meeting preview screen, users are presented with the option to sign in as the current web portal user, join without sign-in or join as another account. If the web and Zoom Workplace app sessions already share the same signed-in user, no additional prompt is displayed and the existing flow is followed. When the automatic login completes, the full app session is established, making features such as Mail, Calendar, and Docs available within the application. Note: Implementation will be done in phases, with deployment expected to complete on June 2026. Windows macOS Linux iOS iOS (Intune) Android Android (Intune)
Ability to resend a meeting summary
Meeting hosts and summary owners can resend a meeting summary after the meeting has ended directly from the summary view. When resending, users can add or remove recipients before the summary is distributed, in addition to sending to the original recipients and host. This addresses situations where recipients were missed, email delivery failed, or stakeholders were added after the meeting concluded. The resend action is available on the summary view, reducing the need to manually forward or copy summary content outside of Zoom. Web portal
Meeting summary enablement prompts on desktop
Users who have both the meeting summary and auto-start summary settings disabled and unlocked at the user level are prompted to enable these settings for their hosted meetings. The prompt appears when scheduling a meeting. Clicking Enable launches the existing AI Companion onboarding widget to guide users through enabling meeting summary and its associated sub-settings. Clicking X dismisses the prompt on that specific surface, while clicking Don't show again dismisses it across all relevant surfaces on that device. Windows macOS Linux
Enhancements to meeting transcripts and captions
Transcript experience in meetings is improved to make viewing and saving more flexible and easier to understand. The enhancement includes:
- Higher-quality transcripts are available during meetings.
- Greater host control: Hosts decide whether Transcripts are enabled for a meeting and can manage who is allowed to view or save them.
- Participant requests: If Transcript is not enabled, participants can request that the host enable Transcripts for the meeting.
- Admin configuration: Organizations can configure transcripts to be "always on" across meetings.
- New transcript settings: Clearer host and admin controls, with existing settings migrated where technically possible.
- Clear distinction: Captions support in-meeting accessibility, while transcripts serve as the saved meeting record.
Note: This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend server update currently scheduled for May 26, 2026. Web portal Windows macOS Linux
Consolidate custom disclaimers
The consolidated notice experience lets account owners and admins bring all active custom disclaimers together into a single modal shown at join rather than several notices appearing at one time. Windows macOS Linux iOS iOS (Intune) Android Android (Intune)
Enhancements to calendar features on web
Users on Zoom Workplace desktop app and web experience will have a consistent calendar feature behavior for the meeting lifecycle. Previously, a number of inconsistencies existed between Calendar on the web and in the Zoom Workplace desktop app when performing calendar-related actions such as scheduling, editing, and managing meetings. These gaps have been addressed to bring the web experience in line with the desktop app. Web portal

Zoom Meetings releases a broad update to meetings, summaries, transcripts, collaboration, and controls, adding smarter sign-in flows, easier summary resends, improved transcript management, custom emojis, AI avatars, larger dynamic gallery views, tab sharing, waiting room bypass, and a unified post-meeting assets experience.

Users on Zoom Workplace desktop app and web experience will have a consistent calendar feature behavior for the meeting lifecycle. Previously, a number of inconsistencies existed between Calendar on the web and in the Zoom Workplace desktop app when performing calendar-related actions such as scheduling, editing, and managing meetings. These gaps have been addressed to bring the web experience in line with the desktop app.
Account owners and admins with eligible accounts can enable Voice translator capabilities that convert translated captions into spoken audio for meeting participants. The feature integrates with existing AI-powered translated captions technology and provides automated text-to-speech services in multiple languages. This feature uses artificial intelligence to process spoken language, translate content, and generate synthetic speech in real-time. Translation quality may vary and evolve depending on language pair, audio quality, and speaking clarity. Users can customize their translation experience by selecting interpreter personas and preferred spoken languages. Note: Implementation will be done in phases, with beta access given to eligible accounts with limitations.
Meeting participants can access custom emojis in chat messages and video reactions.
Zoom introduces AI avatars that move and react like the user, offering both Realistic and Stylized options generated from a photo and animated in real time using the camera feed. The feature processes facial data to create a photorealistic digital representation. Users can create and customize their avatar from the Zoom Workplace app Settings > Video & effects > Avatars tab. Users must provide explicit consent before avatar creation. Users can switch between avatar and live video during meetings, and delete the avatar and associated data at any time.
Users can access detailed information about participant statuses through enhanced tooltip functionality in the participants list. The previous hover behavior that displayed large mute and more buttons has been replaced with a persistent layout where status icons remain visible and action buttons stay consistently displayed. Each status icon shows descriptive tooltips when hovered, indicating the current state or available action such as Muted or Video on.
Users can display up to 49 participants in dynamic gallery view, matching their Maximum participants per screen setting (25 or 49) in Settings > Meetings & webinars > Participant video. Previously, dynamic gallery view was limited to 9 participants regardless of this setting.
Users can share an individual Chrome or Edge browser tab during meetings without revealing their other open tabs. Presenters can select any tab from the sharing menu and only that tab is visible to participants, even if they switch away during the presentation. This feature provides presenters with greater privacy control and helps participants focus on relevant content without distractions from unrelated browser tabs.
Account owners and admins can enable or disable a setting that prevents all meeting participants from copying or downloading content uploaded to meeting chat through Zoom's interface. The restriction covers files, images, and screenshots shared by any attendee during the meeting session. This setting controls Zoom application features but cannot prevent participants from using external screen capture tools, taking photos of screens, or utilizing other methods of content capture outside the Zoom application. This feature must be enabled by Zoom.
During a meeting, when participants request to start a computer recording, they see a notification explaining that computer recording will start automatically once the host approves their request. Upon host approval, the system immediately begins local recording and displays a confirmation message to the requesting participant.
Meeting participants can bypass the waiting room when joining meetings hosted by someone within their organization. The meeting host can opt to automatically admit participants from any account connected within their organization while external participants remain subject to waiting room controls. The setting to enable waiting room bypass can be managed by the account owners and admins.
Users can scroll back through captions for up to 3 minutes when captions are displayed. This enhancement allows participants to revisit earlier meeting content making it easier for users to catch up on missed content or review important information shared earlier in the conversation.
Users can add alternative hosts directly within meeting templates during the creation process. The alternative hosts are automatically applied when the template is used to schedule new meetings. This enhancement helps with the scheduling process and helps maintain meeting continuity by pre-designating backup hosts.
Users can access a unified meeting management experience through an updated post-meeting assets email that routes them directly to AI Companion 3.0. The enhanced email provides a single access point where users can view all meeting assets, ask follow-up questions about their meetings, complete action items, and generate additional content using AI capabilities. Routing logic automatically directs users to AI Companion 3.0 when the web setting is enabled, or falls back to Hub or individual asset pages based on their configuration. Individual summary and recording emails are no longer sent when the consolidated assets email is delivered, though they remain supported for individual sharing scenarios. This integration creates a more efficient post-meeting workflow by centralizing asset management and enabling AI-powered meeting follow-up. Note: This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend server update currently scheduled for March 28, 2026.

Consistent branding of meeting notification emails
Zoom refreshed the visual design of meeting email templates to reflect the latest brand standards. Updates span multiple email types including registrant confirmations, host notifications, interpreter invitations, and meeting reminders.

The section includes four settings: Touch up my appearance, Portrait lighting, Adjust for low light, and iOS Center Stage. The new Adjust for low light setting improves video brightness in darker environments and is off by default. iOS Center Stage automatically keeps users centered in the video frame and only appears on supported iOS devices and versions.

Zoom Meetings adds My Notes with AI-powered meeting transcription and organization, plus enhanced post-meeting prompts and Meeting coach analytics. It also brings a redesigned AI Companion interface, consent controls for phone participants, richer media options, and usability updates for joining, pinning, chat bookmarks, and more.
New, enhanced, and changed features
Introducing My Notes
My notes is a new feature that replaces the previous Notes functionality with AI-powered capabilities. My notes enables users to take manual notes while AI Companion transcribes Zoom Meetings, in-person meetings, or meetings on other platforms, then expands on and helps organize key takeaways. My notes includes automatic voice activity detection when a potential meeting audio event is accessing the device microphone to deliver a notification to remind the user to start a new note, managed in the Zoom desktop app settings. All notes created with My notes can be accessed in Zoom Hub and Zoom Docs. Note : While this feature is generally available, it may not be accessible to all users right away, as it is being rolled out gradually. Windows macOS Linux
Enhancements to post meeting prompts with AI Companion integration
Meeting participants can access enhanced post-meeting prompts that integrate with AI Companion functionality for improved note management. When users create or edit notes during a meeting, they receive automatic AI Companion responses through compelling call-to-action prompts after the meeting concludes. The feature enables continued note usage directly within the Zoom Workplace app post-meeting. Windows macOS Linux
Enhancements to meeting coach with participant engagement metrics
The enhanced Meeting coach feature provides meeting hosts with participant engagement analytics alongside personal meeting performance metrics. The feature is accessible through a new Meeting coach tab on the post-meeting calendar card for improved discoverability, replacing the previous location under Smart recording. Hosts can view participant metrics such as talk time % for all attendees while individual meeting participants can only access their own participation metrics. The feature works with all meetings that have a compatible AI Companion meetings feature activated, such as meeting summary, in-meeting questions, or smart recordings. Web portal Windows macOS Linux
AI Companion in-meeting user interface enhancements
AI Companion in-meeting interface is redesigned to simplify how features are accessed and managed, improving feature discoverability and usability. The enhancement includes:
- AI Companion, My Notes, and Transcription are accessible from the top-right corner of the meeting window.
- Hovering over the icons opens feature status and menus.
- The AI Companion sparkle icon provides role-based experiences, with hosts seeing checkbox controls for meeting summary and questions, with option to start, open, and stop AI Companion. While participants can request features to be enabled.
- The My Notes (previously known as Notes) menus for host and participants are unified and accessible when user hovers on the icon. Users can either select Start taking notes or Continue taking notes , depending on the current status.
- Using the Transcription icon from the top-right corner of the meeting window, host can stop and delete transcripts. Using the same icon, participants can request the host to stop the transcription. Web app Windows macOS Linux
AI Companion consent requirements for phone participants
Account owners and admins can configure consent requirements and customize audio notifications for AI Companion (AIC) when participants join meetings via phone or audio-only connections. The system provides separate audio prompts for AIC and recording functions, with options for users to provide full consent (Press 1), join in muted listen-only mode (Press 2), or exit the meeting (Press 3). When both AIC and recording consent are required, the system processes AIC consent first before proceeding to recording notifications. Timeout scenarios automatically place users in listen-only mode for meeting continuity while maintaining compliance standards. Note: Implementation will be done in phases, with deployment expected to complete on February 16, 2026. Web portal
Introducing Enhanced Media add on
With the Enhanced Media add-on, customers can experience high quality media enhancements ideal for professional collaboration and production environment. In this release, the Enhanced Media add-on includes:
- Meetings: 60fps high frame rate participant video streams, valuable for activities that involve smooth movement or requiring a higher degree of visual realism
- Higher bit rate participant video streams for sharper details and improved color reproduction
- 1080p content sharing at 60fps, enables a smoother sharing experience while maintaining finer details for professional media review work
- High Bandwidth Mode for multiple simultaneous HD participant video streams in supported applications
- Higher quality participant video streams in gallery view on 4K displays
- Zoom Rooms High Bandwidth Mode for multiple simultaneous HD participant video streams in supported applications
- Higher quality participant video streams in gallery view on 4K displays
- Zoom Events Enhanced media features available for Meetings within Zoom Events
Notes: 60fps high frame rate video, 60fps content sharing, and higher bit rate streams will be available on Zoom Rooms in another upcoming release. Web portal Windows macOS Linux
Full enablement of enhanced join flow for overlapping personal link names
The enhancement to join flow for overlapping personal link names, initially launched last August 2025, is generally available for all customers and regions after being available only by request. With the enhanced join flow, users can join personal meeting rooms more efficiently when multiple users share the same personal link name. When there is no overlap in personal link names, users directly join the personal meeting ID (PMI). If an overlap exists with a user in the same account, they can choose to join that specific PMI or enter a full URL/meeting ID for a different one. For overlapping personal link names outside their account, users can enter either the full URL or meeting ID to join the correct meeting. This improvement helps users avoid joining incorrect meetings while protecting privacy and account information. Web portal
Instantly start a meeting using zoom.new
Users can start a new meeting when they type zoom.new in their browser's address bar. The system detects user sign-in status and redirects unauthenticated users to sign in first. Once signed in, users are then taken to the new meeting instance, either the Workplace App when detected, or via the Web App. After joining, the host will be prompted to invite contacts into the meeting or share the invite link with others. Web app Windows macOS Linux iOS iOS (Intune) Android Android (Intune)
Ability to crop non-standard sized image for waiting room
During waiting room customization, the host can crop non-standard sized images when uploading them. The feature adopts the same cropping method currently available in Webinars, allowing users to adjust and position their uploaded images more appropriately. Web portal

Note
This release has been delayed by 1 day and will be available on February 10, 2026.
New, enhanced, and changed features
Introducing My Notes
My notes is a new feature that replaces the previous Notes functionality with AI-powered capabilities. My notes enables users to take manual notes while AI Companion transcribes Zoom Meetings, in-person meetings, or meetings on other platforms, then expands on and helps organize key takeaways. My notes includes automatic voice activity detection when a potential meeting audio event is accessing the device microphone to deliver a notification to remind the user to start a new note, managed in the Zoom desktop app settings. All notes created with My notes can be accessed in Zoom Hub and Zoom Docs. Note : While this feature is generally available, it may not be accessible to all users right away, as it is being rolled out gradually. Windows macOS Linux
Enhancements to post meeting prompts with AI Companion integration
Meeting participants can access enhanced post-meeting prompts that integrate with AI Companion functionality for improved note management. When users create or edit notes during a meeting, they receive automatic AI Companion responses through compelling call-to-action prompts after the meeting concludes. The feature enables continued note usage directly within the Zoom Workplace app post-meeting. Windows macOS Linux
Enhancements to meeting coach with participant engagement metrics
The enhanced Meeting coach feature provides meeting hosts with participant engagement analytics alongside personal meeting performance metrics. The feature is accessible through a new Meeting coach tab on the post-meeting calendar card for improved discoverability, replacing the previous location under Smart recording. Hosts can view participant metrics such as talk time % for all attendees while individual meeting participants can only access their own participation metrics. The feature works with all meetings that have a compatible AI Companion meetings feature activated, such as meeting summary, in-meeting questions, or smart recordings. Web portal Windows macOS Linux
AI Companion in-meeting user interface enhancements
AI Companion in-meeting interface is redesigned to simplify how features are accessed and managed, improving feature discoverability and usability. The enhancement includes: AI Companion, My Notes, and Transcription are accessible from the top-right corner of the meeting window. Hovering over the icons opens feature status and menus. The AI Companion sparkle icon provides role-based experiences, with hosts seeing checkbox controls for meeting summary and questions, with option to start, open, and stop AI Companion. While participants can request features to be enabled. The My Notes (previously known as Notes) menus for host and participants are unified and accessible when user hovers on the icon. Users can either select Start taking notes or Continue taking notes , depending on the current status. Using the Transcription icon from the top-right corner of the meeting window, host can stop and delete transcripts. Using the same icon, participants can request the host to stop the transcription. Web app Windows macOS Linux
AI Companion consent requirements for phone participants
Account owners and admins can configure consent requirements and customize audio notifications for AI Companion (AIC) when participants join meetings via phone or audio-only connections. The system provides separate audio prompts for AIC and recording functions, with options for users to provide full consent (Press 1), join in muted listen-only mode (Press 2), or exit the meeting (Press 3). When both AIC and recording consent are required, the system processes AIC consent first before proceeding to recording notifications. Timeout scenarios automatically place users in listen-only mode for meeting continuity while maintaining compliance standards. Note: Implementation will be done in phases, with deployment expected to complete on February 16, 2026. Web portal
Introducing Enhanced Media add on
With the Enhanced Media add-on, customers can experience high quality media enhancements ideal for professional collaboration and production environment. In this release, the Enhanced Media add-on includes:
- Meetings:
- 60fps high frame rate participant video streams, valuable for activities that involve smooth movement or requiring a higher degree of visual realism
- Higher bit rate participant video streams for sharper details and improved color reproduction
- 1080p content sharing at 60fps, enables a smoother sharing experience while maintaining finer details for professional media review work
- High Bandwidth Mode for multiple simultaneous HD participant video streams in supported applications

- Zoom Rooms
- High Bandwidth Mode for multiple simultaneous HD participant video streams in supported applications

- Zoom Events
- Enhanced media features available for Meetings within Zoom Events
Notes: 60fps high frame rate video, 60fps content sharing, and higher bit rate streams will be available on Zoom Rooms in another upcoming release. Web portal Windows macOS Linux
Full enablement of enhanced join flow for overlapping personal link names
The enhancement to join flow for overlapping personal link names, initially launched last August 2025, is generally available for all customers and regions after being available only by request. With the enhanced join flow, users can join personal meeting rooms more efficiently when multiple users share the same personal link name. When there is no overlap in personal link names, users directly join the personal meeting ID (PMI). If an overlap exists with a user in the same account, they can choose to join that specific PMI or enter a full URL/meeting ID for a different one. For overlapping personal link names outside their account, users can enter either the full URL or meeting ID to join the correct meeting. This improvement helps users avoid joining incorrect meetings while protecting privacy and account information. Web portal
Instantly start a meeting using zoom.new
Users can start a new meeting when they type zoom.new in their browser's address bar. The system detects user sign-in status and redirects unauthenticated users to sign in first. Once signed in, users are then taken to the new meeting instance, either the Workplace App when detected, or via the Web App. After joining, the host will be prompted to invite contacts into the meeting or share the invite link with others. Web app Windows macOS Linux iOS iOS (Intune) Android Android (Intune)
Ability to crop non-standard sized image for waiting room
During waiting room customization, the host can crop non-standard sized images when uploading them. The feature adopts the same cropping method currently available in Webinars, allowing users to adjust and position their uploaded images more appropriately. Web portal
Support pinning participant's video in meetings with 1000 or more participants
All meeting participants can pin users when fewer than 1,000 attendees are present. When the meeting attendees count reaches 1,000 or more, only hosts, co-hosts, and original hosts can pin a participant's video. When multi-pin is enabled, all meeting participants can multi-pin users when fewer than 500 attendees are present, with a maximum of 9 users in total. When the meeting attendees count reaches 5,000 or more, only the host can multi-pin. Previously, pinning a video was not supported in meetings with 1000 or more participants and multi-pinning videos was not supported in meetings with 500 or more participants. Windows macOS Linux iOS iOS (Intune) Android Android (Intune)
Dynamic gallery video layout
Dynamic gallery is a new user-selectable video layout that automatically crops video tiles to focus on faces and best utilize available screen space. Windows macOS Linux
Ability to bookmark in-meeting chat messages
Meeting participants can bookmark in-meeting chat messages. The bookmarked meeting chat messages are accessible in the Bookmarks tab of Team Chat alongside other saved messages for centralized reference. Previously, users can only bookmark Team Chat messages. Windows macOS Linux
Recent files and tile improvements in screen share
When starting a screen share in a meeting, users can access recently used Zoom AI Productivity Suite documents from the Files tab in the share window. Up to six files appear, each with its document type icon, file name, folder location, and timestamp. Users can also create a new Zoom AI Productivity Suite file from the Files tab or select View all to see all their files, including those not shown in the recent list, and search for files. When a user has no files yet, the Files tab presents options to create their first one. Window tiles in the share picker display the source application's icon, and open tabs in the same browser are grouped into a single labeled tile. The three-tab picker structure, cloud-tile row, and all share-preference behavior are unchanged. Note: This enhancement will gradually roll out to customers. Windows macOS
Push notifications for last-minute meeting schedule changes on mobile
Users on the Zoom Workplace mobile app can receive push notifications when a meeting they are invited to is created, rescheduled, or canceled within a configurable time threshold before the start time, or when they are added to or removed from a meeting's invite list within that window. Notifications include the meeting topic, relevant time details, and a link to the calendar view for the relevant date and time. A new Meeting updates setting under Settings > Notifications & sounds > Set meeting notifications offers None, Same day, and All options, defaulting to None for existing users and Same day for new installs. Push notifications respect OS-level Do Not Disturb and Zoom's quiet hours settings; existing email notifications for changes outside the threshold window are unaffected. Note: Changes to a whole recurring meeting series will not send a push notification, but changes to an individual occurrence of a meeting series will.
Display caption speaker name
When viewing captions, meeting participants can see the speaker's meeting display name alongside spoken text. Speaker names are pulled from the participant's current meeting display name. This allows multi-speaker meetings to identify who is speaking directly within the caption display. Windows macOS Linux iOS iOS (Intune) Android Android (Intune)
Custom disclaimer for transcript
Account owners and admins can configure a custom disclaimer specifically for Meeting transcript. The disclaimer can be enabled or disabled from the Web portal and supports custom text input, following the same configuration options as existing custom disclaimers. When transcription starts in a meeting, participants are prompted with the disclaimer and must acknowledge it before transcription proceeds. This setting is available at the account and group levels. Windows macOS iOS iOS (Intune) Android Android (Intune) VDI
Blocking copy and download of files in meeting chat general availability
The ability to prevent all meeting participants from copying or downloading content uploaded to meeting chat through Zoom's interface is generally available. The restriction covers files, images, and screenshots shared by any attendee during the meeting session. This setting controls Zoom application features but cannot prevent participants from using external screen capture tools, taking photos of screens, or utilizing other methods of content capture outside the Zoom application. Windows macOS Linux iOS iOS (Intune) Android Android (Intune)
Automatic audio adjustment when joining a Zoom Room meeting on multiple devices
When a user joins the same meeting on both the Zoom desktop app and a Zoom Room, the system automatically detects both devices and mutes audio on the secondary device by default to help prevent echo and audio feedback. No user setup is required, and a clear, non-intrusive message is displayed to inform the user that audio behavior has been adjusted. Users retain the ability to manually re-enable audio on the desktop app at any time. Windows macOS Linux
Ability to adjust playback speed for shared local video files
Users sharing local video files (such as MP4 or MOV files) in a meeting can control playback speed from within the in-meeting video player. Playback speed options range from 0.25x to 2.0x and are accessible during an active video file share through the Advanced tab. The updated player interface is consistent with the playback speed controls found in Zoom Clips, providing a unified experience across video sharing surfaces. This change allows participants to move through video content at a pace that suits the context of their meeting. Windows macOS Linux
