Zoom Rebrands to Focus on AI and Workplace Productivity

The company drops 'video' from its name as it pivots to an AI-first platform offering tools beyond virtual meetings.

Zoom has officially changed its name from 'Zoom Video Communications Inc.' to 'Zoom Communications Inc.' to reflect its broader focus.
The company aims to position itself as an AI-first workplace platform, competing with tools like Microsoft Teams and Google Workspace.
New AI features, including the Zoom AI Companion, can summarize meetings, compose messages, and assist with collaborative tasks.
Zoom has introduced new products like Zoom Docs, an AI-enhanced document collaboration tool, and plans to expand its AI capabilities further.
Future ambitions include the development of 'digital twins'—customizable AI avatars that could potentially reduce workweeks to four days.
