Zoom Rebrands as AI-First Company, Drops 'Video' From Name

The company aims to reposition itself as a leader in AI-powered workplace solutions, moving beyond its pandemic-era video conferencing identity.

Zoom Video Communications Inc. has officially changed its name to Zoom Communications Inc. to reflect its shift toward AI-focused technologies.
CEO Eric Yuan described the rebrand as part of the company's 'AI-first' strategy to deliver hybrid work solutions and enhance productivity.
The company introduced its AI Companion, a digital assistant that summarizes meetings, drafts emails, and helps prepare for tasks, with the goal of saving significant time for users.
Zoom envisions its AI tools enabling a four-day workweek by automating repetitive tasks and creating 'digital twins' for employees.
The rebrand comes as Zoom faces increasing competition from tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Slack, which offer integrated communication solutions.
