Zoom Launches Docs Feature For Real-Time File Collaboration During Meetings
In a significant update, Zoom has rolled out a new feature called Zoom Docs , allowing users to utilize AI for generating documents based on their meeting discussions. This feature was officially launched on Monday, August 5.
Zoom Docs enhances the sharing of files among meeting participants and provides tools for collaborative editing with generative AI . This includes features for organizing meeting transcripts, creating tables, setting up checklists, and tracking assigned tasks.
The collaboration capabilities of Zoom Docs were initially previewed at last year's Zoomtopia event. Smita Hashim , Zoom's Chief Product Officer, emphasized that “Zoom Docs represents our inaugural Zoom Workplace product integrated with generative AI from the outset. It seamlessly converts meeting content into actionable documents and knowledge repositories, helping teams concentrate on important tasks.”
Zoom Docs is available at no extra charge with Zoom Workplace paid licenses, offering additional value to users. “With AI Companion integrated throughout the process, Zoom Docs is designed to help users work more efficiently and reclaim valuable time,” Hashim added.
In positioning itself against competitors like Google and Microsoft, Zoom aims to offer a cost-effective alternative. Google Workspace , which serves over 3 billion users, and Microsoft Teams, with 320 million active monthly users, currently dominate the market.
Zoom's pricing strategy undercuts Microsoft’s offerings, with Zoom Workplace subscriptions priced between $14 and $19 per month, compared to Microsoft’s Copilot for 365 at $30 per month and Gemini at $20-$30 per month. This competitive pricing could incentivize businesses that already use Zoom for meetings to consider adopting its new workplace tools as well.
