Overview

  • New agentic skills include meeting prep, a group assistant, in-meeting recommendations, automated follow-ups, and a “free up my time” option that flags meetings users can skip.
  • Real-time voice translation for Zoom Meetings is slated for December, with support reported for English, German, Chinese, French, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese, Portuguese, and Italian.
  • Photorealistic avatars that mimic a user’s live video are planned for December, with Zoom developing live camera authentication and in-meeting tile notices to indicate avatar use.
  • AI Companion 3.0 will be included at no additional cost for paid Zoom Workplace accounts in November, while a low-code Custom AI Companion add-on to build tailored agents is available now at $12 per user per month.
