The company introduces a suite of AI products to close the conversation gap across Zoom
Workplace, customer experience, developer tools, and events
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Oct, 2026 — Today at its annual Zoomtopia customer conference, Zoom Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZM), a leading AI-first platform for human connection, introduced a new Unified Context Layer and several new products with AI-powered capabilities. The new offerings are designed to help businesses transform rich meeting context into meaningful deliverables that help accelerate work outcomes.
Business conversations drive critical decisions and build customer history every day. A customer interaction might start in a meeting, continue by phone, and carry on in chat threads. But when that context is scattered across applications, people, and AI agents lose the thread, and teams spend significant time piecing together what happened, when it happened, and what they should do about it.
Zoom’s new Unified Context Layer helps close that gap by linking conversation history with relevant documents and data. Together, these sources give people and AI agents a fuller picture of the work and what needs to happen next.
This new layer brings together conversations with near real-time activity across Zoom and connected third-party applications, giving people and AI agents access to business context that might otherwise be lost or siloed. Configurable settings and controls help manage access, while coordination among AI agents turns business context into actionable insights.
Zoom is increasingly becoming a system of action as organizations, large and small, put the company’s AI tools to work at scale. Zoom Virtual Agent customer count has surged by 256%1, and users who leverage Zoom’s various AI tools report completing tasks twice as fast, with 72% citing high or extremely high business impact, compared with a market average of 63%2. With a growing enterprise footprint across industries from healthcare to financial services, retail, and education, the company is advancing its vision for workplace productivity, one where the line between conversation and execution shrinks.
“AI models are only as powerful as their understanding of your business, and that context makes all the difference,” said Eric Yuan, founder and CEO of Zoom. “Fragmented product experiences isolate conversations, stall decisions, and drag businesses down. Today, with the Unified Context Layer, we’re laying the groundwork for a system of action designed to turn conversations into completed work.”
At Zoomtopia, Zoom is bringing this vision to life with innovations across collaboration, AI, customer experience, and events. The announcements below show how it all connects business context to the tools and workflows people actually use to get work done.
Give people and AI agents context to turn conversations into action
Every meeting, chat, and document leaves a trail of discussion, decisions, and action items. Zoom’s Unified Context Layer accesses this information to help people and AI agents quickly move from context to clarity to action.
The Unified Context Layer makes work even more efficient when used with the newly introduced capabilities that include:
| ● | Follow the meeting: Delivers personalized transcripts and summaries for users who miss |
| all or parts of a meeting. (Expected December 2026.) | |
| ● | Enriched notes: Links shared screens, slides, charts, and in-meeting chat to relevant |
| moments in a searchable transcript. (Expected November 2026.) | |
| ● | My Notes hardware integrations: Extends My Notes to in-person conversations through |
| new devices from DTEN and Bota. (Expected November 2026 and Q1 2027, respectively.) | |
| ● | My Notes Workflows: Turn meeting summaries into follow-up work in everyday tools like |
| Zoom Chat and Salesforce, with ready-made workflows for sales, marketing, and IT, or | |
| custom ones created by describing what to automate in natural language, no separate | |
| workflow builder needed to get started. (Expected October 2026.) | |
| ● | New Zoom Chat Experience: A refreshed chat experience designed to help surface |
| relevant conversations and bring AI agents directly into discussions to take actions based on | |
| administrator-defined controls. (Expected December 2026.) | |
| ● | ZoomMate Agent Teams: Specialized AI agents that work together in an AI team to support |
| faster execution of work. (Available now.) |
Bring Zoom capabilities into the AI tools businesses already use
Developers and AI agents can now access Zoom capabilities outside the Zoom app. Through APIs and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, teams can connect scheduling, transcription, search, administration, and contact center actions to other AI environments and workflows. Highlights include:
| ● | MCP Servers: With new MCP servers across the portfolio, developers and AI agents can |
| coordinate actions outside the Zoom UI. (Available now.) | |
| ● | Connections to AI Assistants: Use supported Zoom capabilities within AI environments, |
| including Claude, Codex, Copilot, and Muse. (Expected October 2026.) | |
| ● | Search & Ask APIs: Query Zoom’s Unified Context Layer directly from Claude, GPT, |
| Codex, Muse, MS Copilot, Gemini, and Slackbot, as well as MCP-compatible agents. | |
| (Available now.) | |
| ● | Zoom Admin MCP Server: Perform admin tasks conversationally. (Expected October |
| 2026.) |
Reduce barriers to natural, engaging conversation
To help users show up as their best in meetings, Zoom is making conversations clearer, more natural, and more inclusive, with AI driving more meaningful outcomes. These new enhancements strengthen the foundation for the unified context layer with:
| ● | Voice Translator: “Translate Me” enables a speaker to translate their audio for all |
| participants using a synthesized version of their own voice, designed to preserve a natural | |
| feel. (Expected October 2026.) | |
| ● | Pose Correction: Subtly adjusts your video when you glance away from the camera, |
| helping maintain a camera-forward appearance. (Expected December 2026.) | |
| ● | Touch up my Voice: Users can use this feature to alter their own voice with real-time |
| accent smoothing so speakers come through more clearly and naturally. (Expected | |
| December 2026.) | |
| ● | High-quality screen sharing: Enhanced media support for 60 frames per second screen |
| sharing. (Available now.) | |
| ● | Live Meeting AI Agent: Proactive meeting assistance that helps find answers, keep |
| meetings on track, and nudge engagement. (Expected Q1 2027.) |
Carry customer history from one interaction to the next
Customer service breaks down when customers have to constantly repeat themselves, and agents have to reconstruct past interactions. Zoom CX extends shared customer context across a variety of channels, including live and AI agents, providing a broader view of the past and present to help inform future outcomes. Highlights include:
| ● | Customer Profiles: Brings dynamic customer profiles into Zoom CX with real-time context |
| across channels and interactions. (Expected November 2026.) | |
| ● | CX Insights Transcript Intelligence: Automatically classifies voice, chat, and email |
| transcripts and makes them queryable in natural language, joined with operational data such | |
| as handle time, queue, and outcome. (Expected November 2026.) | |
| ● | Zoom Virtual Agent – Kiosk: Brings AI-powered self-service to physical retail locations via |
| branded kiosk agents, resolving customer requests on the spot without relying on | |
| in-store staff. (Expected November 2026.) |
Give businesses control as AI takes on more work
Zoom is adding new management controls that enable administrators to manage AI activity across the account while supporting customers’ existing guardrails and data-classification policies. Highlights include:
| ● Centralized AI Management: Provides administrators with greater control over how AI |
| features are configured and used across the organization. (Expected December 2026.) |
| ● Sensitivity Labels: Seamlessly sync with Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels or create |
| native labels in Zoom, then automatically enforce policies based on the sensitivity of |
| meetings and content. (Available now for select Zoom Workplace customers.) |
| ● AI Guardrails: Set account-level rules governing what AI can generate or use in its |
| responses. (Expected Q1 2027.) |
| ● Deepfake Risk Detection: Introduce deepfake risk detection tools designed to help flag |
| potential synthetic media across hiring, customer experience, and meeting scenarios. |
| (Expected December 2026.) |
| ● Zoom Compliance Manager support for My Notes and Zoom Canvas: Archives and |
| monitors AI-generated summaries, notes, and documents to help address organization’s |
| own retention and supervision requirements[1]. (Expected January 2027.) |
Extend the business value of events beyond the closing session
Most of what happens at a live event disappears the moment it ends. Zoom Events now brings powerful AI functionality to event planning, content creation, and analytics. These capabilities help reduce the amount of heavy setup work involved and extend the value of event content long after sessions end. Highlights include:
| ● | Content Studio: Turn one recording into a multi-language, multi-format asset library. |
| (Expected October 2026.) | |
| ● | Agentic Event Setup: Use AI to help configure event details, from sessions to registration, |
| before launch. (Expected November 2026.) | |
| ● | AI Analytics for Events: Query event data in plain language, score engagement, and |
| generate shareable reports, cutting post-event analysis time significantly. (Available now.) |
Taken together, today’s launches represent a significant step for Zoom toward becoming a system of action for modern work by connecting conversations to the work that follows, across roles and industries. For more information on announcements from Zoomtopia 2026, visit the Zoom newsroom.
