What is Zoom Chat?

Zoom Chat is an AI-powered workplace messaging and collaboration application developed by Zoom to help organizations manage conversations, coordinate projects, and automate everyday business activities. The platform is included in Zoom Workplace and provides direct messaging, group conversations, persistent communication channels, and shared collaboration spaces. Its customizable interface allows users to organize conversations into folders, prioritize important messages, configure notifications, and monitor colleague availability. Continuous meeting chat connects Zoom Meetings with persistent messaging threads, allowing participants to share information before meetings and continue conversations afterward. Meeting resources such as AI-generated summaries, recordings, links, and shared files remain accessible within related chat channels. Zoom's AI capabilities help users summarize unread conversations, extract action items, draft responses, and retrieve relevant information from organizational discussions. The platform also supports AI-powered document summarization, natural language search, and assistance with coordinating meetings based on participants in a conversation. Custom AI agents can connect to approved enterprise applications and organizational knowledge sources to perform multistep tasks and automate business workflows through chat. Shared Spaces enables teams to organize multiple channels under common projects, departments, or initiatives and simplify access management for participants. Integration with Google Drive, Microsoft 365, OneDrive, SharePoint, Jira, Asana, Workday, and other business applications allows users to access documents, receive notifications, and coordinate tasks without switching platforms. Zoom Chat also supports message translation, external contact collaboration, voice and video messaging, searchable conversation histories, and integration with Zoom Meetings, Zoom Phone, Zoom Whiteboard, and other workplace productivity tools.
