New, enhanced, and changed features

Show or hide icon labels in the navigation bar

Users can hide text labels on navigation bar app icons in the Zoom Workplace desktop app, displaying icons only for a more compact interface. This setting is accessible through a right-click menu on app icons. The default behavior continues to display icons with text labels. This is an app-level setting with no admin controls, and users who reinstall the app or switch devices will need to reconfigure their preferred state.

My Notes on mobile

My Notes is available in the Zoom Workplace mobile app for Zoom meetings and in-person conversations. My Notes allows the user to transcribe meetings, take manual notes, and generate an AI summary. Users can access My Notes from the Home tab (replacing the previous Voice Recorder option) or from within a Zoom meeting. The user can also enable auto-save My Notes recording for in-person meetings through web settings. Note: This enhancement will gradually roll out to customers.

Improvements to the AI Companion side panel user experience

The AI Companion side panel is transitioning from a global navigation element to local, product-specific side panels within individual Zoom Workplace surfaces (such as Mail, Calendar, Chat, Canvas, and Phone). The AI Companion icon will be removed from the desktop app header, and each product tab will instead have its own entry point for its AI Companion side panel, providing more contextual assistance within each product. Note: This enhancement will gradually roll out to customers and is expected to be available to most customers by the end of May 2026. At this time, customers with Custom AI Companion are not impacted by this change.

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 Canvas available within the application. Note: Implementation will be done in phases, with deployment expected to complete on June 2026.

Summary enablement prompt for hosted meetings

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 or when viewing a summary from a meeting they attended as a participant. In addition, participants that have the above settings disabled for their account are prompted to enable them when viewing summaries of other meetings they attend. 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.

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.

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.

Introducing the new Zoom Chat experience

Zoom is introducing a new Zoom Chat experience, a next-generation design that enhances how users communicate across Zoom Workplace. The updated experience brings a refreshed look along with a range of usability improvements designed to support more efficient everyday workflows. These include:

• Modernized interface: Updated navigation structure and improved visual hierarchy
• Enhanced compose experience: Streamlined compose box with configurable tools and send options
• Unified expression picker: Combined emoji and GIF selection with global search
• Inline attachments: Insert and reorder images and files directly within messages
• Quick actions: One-click hover actions with recently used emoji reactions
• Merged Shared Spaces section: Shared Spaces are consolidated into a single, unified section for easier navigation and streamlined access to collaborative conversations
• And many more enhancements throughout the experience

With this change, enhancements to Zoom Chat will only be included in the Release notes for Zoom Chat moving forward. Note: The new Zoom Chat experience will gradually roll out to customers.

Prompt-based background image generation for Clips Avatar

Users can generate custom background images in Zoom Clips Avatar by entering a text prompt within the background selection area of the scene editor. Each prompt produces four image options for the user to choose from. For each generated image, users can apply it as the scene background, the avatar background, or both. This feature is available for both slide-based and avatar-based videos.

Enhancements to commenting on clips and recordings

Users can quickly add a comment to a clip or recording by selecting from a set of helpful comment suggestions displayed directly in the comment input field. Clicking a suggestion submits the comment in one click, removing the need to type a response manually.

Email body content support for email to fax

Users can send fax content directly within email bodies using HTML or plain text formatting, expanding beyond the previous attachment-only limitation. The feature supports sending faxes to up to 50 recipients simultaneously, compared to the current single-recipient restriction. Additionally, email-to-fax functionality becomes available to all Zoom users rather than being limited to specific user groups. When cover pages are configured, email body content automatically incorporates into the cover page layout, while any attachments appear as subsequent fax pages.

Cellular companion billing integration

Users can enable Cellular Companion to route incoming Zoom Phone calls to their mobile devices, with calls charged according to Pay As You Go rates. The feature requires Pay As You Go billing to be enabled on the account before activation. When calls are directed to cellular numbers in countries where billing is not supported, the system automatically routes them to voicemail and logs the activity for administrative review. An onboarding wizard in the desktop and mobile clients helps users discover and configure this functionality, extending Zoom Phone accessibility across multiple devices.

Call summaries and notifications for missed Zoom Virtual Agent calls

Users who rely on Zoom Virtual Agent for after-hours call handling can view missed call notifications with summarized descriptions of caller inquiries. When filtering call history by Summary, users can identify missed calls from Zoom Virtual Agent and review concise explanations of what callers were seeking. The feature is available on the desktop app. Users can quickly determine whether calls are from new customers seeking services or existing customers with issues requiring follow-up. This visibility into missed call context reduces delays and improves callback efficiency.

Enhancements to the Workflow Automation tab migration experience

The Workflow Automation tab in the Zoom Workplace desktop app has been updated to incorporate the new AI Companion Workflow feature. New users without any classic workflows will be directed to the AI Companion Workflows builder. Existing users who have used the Workflow Automation tab will see a message encouraging them to transition to the new AI Companion Workflows experience, providing a clear migration path to the latest workflow functionality, while still retaining access to the legacy Workflow Automation builder. In addition, admins will have access to a new Allow incoming Webhook for agentic workflows setting, available under the main Workflow Automation setting, to control webhook access in new agentic workflows. This setting will be enabled by default.

Disable My Notes - DisableMyNotes

Disabled by default. When this policy is enabled, the Zoom Workplace app will enable My Notes. If this policy is disabled or not set, My Notes will not be available in the Zoom Workplace app.
