Zoom AI Companion Can Now Join Third-Party Meetings

Zoom introduced a new setting that allows its AI Companion to join meetings on third-party platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Google Meet. You can enable or disable the third-party meeting capability manually or allow it to join automatically. This feature offers a great alternative to unapproved third-party AI note takers such as Fireflies, Otter.ai, Read.ai, and more.
Highlights
- Cross-platform note taking: You can now invite Zoom AI Companion to join meetings on other platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Google Meet. It appears as a guest and generates a full meeting summary and a list of action items, just as it would for a native Zoom call.
- Any UW-Madison Zoom participant can invite AI Companion: You don't need to be the meeting host to use this feature. As long as you are a participant, you can invite AI Companion to your meetings. Note: The host will still need to approve AI Companion's participation.
- One location for all meeting notes: Meeting notes from a Teams call, a Google Meet, or a Zoom session are stored centrally in Zoom, giving you a single searchable location for all of your work conversations.
