Zoom released AI Companion, a new feature. It includes a Meeting Summary, which uses AI to generate a summary of the meeting's audio, which the host can edit and share after the meeting. The Meeting Summary includes discussion topics in order and next steps. The host should review the summary to ensure the information is correct. The Meeting Summary will be emailed to the host but may take several hours.
This article covers:
Zoom does not use any of your audio, video, chat, screen sharing, attachments or other communications-like customer content (such as poll results, whiteboard and reactions) to train Zoom's or its third-party artificial intelligence models. Data from users' interactions with the AI Companion features may be accessed, processed, and used by Zoom to provide and maintain the services, troubleshoot issues, and provide support.
Please review meeting summaries to ensure they do not contain any personally identifiable information or any university business data that should not be released. Only hosts are emailed a copy of the Meeting Summary. Hosts can then edit the summary before sharing it with other meeting attendees.
Zoom's AI Companion Meeting Summary is retained until the meeting summary is deleted by the user or account administrator or until the user or customer account is terminated.
After starting a meeting, the host can click"Start Summary" on the Zoom menu.
Note: For conversations other than English, ensure your caption language is set correctly. For further instructions, visit Zoom Support's information on languages.
If you don't see the "Start Summary" button, go to "More" on the Zoom menu.
Both the host and meeting attendees will see a message that informs them that the Meeting Summary is running. Hosts can stop the summary from this message, but attendees can only choose to leave the meeting or Got it."
This is what attendees will see:
Hosts can also stop the meeting summary at any point by clicking "Stop Summary" or selecting it from the "More" menu.
After the meeting concludes, a Meeting Summary report is emailed to the host. The Meeting Summary includes the main discussion topics organized in the order they were presented. After reviewing and editing, the host can share the meeting summary with attendees. To edit or share the summary, scroll to the bottom of the email and click either Share summary or Edit.
Note: You may be prompted to log into your Zoom account before editing.
The meeting summary is also available within your Zoom account under the "Meeting Summary with AI Companion" menu option.
Click any meeting "Topic" to see options to "Edit," "Share" or "Delete" the summary.
When scheduling a meeting using Zoom (not through Google Calendar or Canvas) you can choose to automatically start the Meeting Summary.
In the Meeting Settings, click "Show" beside "Options" and check the box next to "Automatically Start Meeting Summary."
