You can now invite Zoom AI Companion to join meetings on third-party platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Google Meet. You can use these features to automate tasks, which leads to more time for collaboration and productivity. When the Zoom AI Companion is added to a meeting, it will transcribe the meeting, take notes and generate a summary with action items, allowing participants to focus more on the meeting agenda and discussion.

Key details to note
- Acting as a meeting guest: When you invite Zoom AI Companion to join meetings on other platforms outside of Zoom, it will appear as a guest. It can be used to perform actions in third-party meeting platforms, just as you would use it for a native Zoom call.
- Any UW–Madison Zoom participant can invite Zoom AI Companion: You don’t need to be the meeting host to use this feature. (Note: Hosts can use meeting controls to manage Zoom 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.
