Zoom AI Companion
Zoom AI Companion tools are designed to further enhance meeting productivity and efficiency across the university. These features are available on an opt-in basis, meaning they will not be automatically enabled for everyone.
The University has a business associate agreement (BAA) with Zoom, to facilitate compliance with HIPAA. Read more from . This restricts access to some AI features, but ensures that all of our Zoom data is compliant. Because of this, we are restricted to use “Zoom-Model-Only” (ZMO) for the large language model (LLM) processing. Our use of ZMO AI Companion does not allow use of any third-party LLMs, and Zoom cannot use any of our data for training LLMs. This also helps us be compliant under a number of regulations, including FERPA. As such, all third-party AI applications/bots are blocked from accessing our Zoom meetings, to help us have data security and be compliant with all of our data in Zoom. Read more about UA’s and
Key Features
AI Companion Panel in the Desktop App
The AI Companion Panel provides users with a personal assistant within the Zoom Workplace app to help make their workdays more productive and manageable. With the AI Companion diamond in Zoom Workplace, users will be able to open a panel where they can ask questions and receive tailored responses sourced from different data sources and contexts available to the user.
In-Meeting Questions:
Zoom AI Companion's in-meeting questions feature lets participants ask the AI about the meeting's content (e.g., "Catch me up," "What are the action items?") to get quick answers, stay updated if joining late, and avoid interrupting the flow, using a temporary transcript for real-time understanding. Hosts can enable it for all participants or just themselves, allowing for clarification on topics, decisions, and next steps without pausing the discussion

After each meeting, receive a concise recap of key discussion points, action items, and decisions, making it easier to keep track of important information.
