You can now access Zoom AI tools to create meeting agendas, draft text and more — directly from your web browser, without needing to open the desktop application.

This setting is off by default and needs to be enabled before accessing the web application.

Why use the Zoom AI web app?

The web interface acts as a centralized dashboard for managing data for previous and upcoming meetings: 

  • Meeting summaries: Review auto-generated summaries, task breakdowns and action items from past Zoom sessions.
  • Text composition: Draft team chat replies or document outlines directly within the browser using text prompts.
  • Cross-data search: Query and aggregate contextual information across internal Zoom logs.

Get started

To activate and use the web interface, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Zoom settings using your NetID credentials
  2. Locate and enable the Show Conversational AI setting
    • Note: If you invite Zoom AI to third-party meetings, enabling this setting is required to maintain that functionality.
  3. Go to Zoom AI to start using the web app.

Data privacy

Zoom does not use your data to train their products or its third-party artificial intelligence models. Your data is protected by Zoom’s terms of service and a business associate agreement when using your UW-Madison Zoom account.
