Productivity is a measure of efficiency and output in various aspects of life, surrounding work, personal tasks, and overall goal achievement. It involves managing time, resources, and energy effectively to maximize output. Adopting strategies such as goal setting, prioritization, time management, and continuous improvement can significantly enhance productivity.While meetings usually serve as effective platforms for collaboration and aligning everyone, productivity can suffer if not well-executed. Have you ever experienced unproductive meetings, whether they involved planning additional meetings or reiterating known information, you understand the inefficiencies that can arise. However, this issue can be readily addressed by utilizing a survey tool, enabling you to gather information beforehand and establish a shared understanding prior to the actual meeting.   And speaking of enhancing productivity, let me introduce Zoom’s new Survey and Polls! This feature offers a seamless met

On Fedora 43, using zoom-7.0.0.1666-1.x86_64 (or the flatpak version), I get the system tray icon but no other windows show. I tried a few things, including running with XWayland, setting QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland, but nothing works. More details here: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/zoom-no-window-showing/188177/13 as well as debugging information. Any idea how to fix this?

When I sat down with this customer for our latest account review, one thing was immediately clear: this is a team that knows what’s working, and isn’t afraid to rethink what’s not. They’ve built a strong foundation with Zoom. Every assigned Workplace Business license is actively hosting meetings, a clear sign that collaboration is embedded in how they operate. There’s no question the platform is delivering value day-to-day. But what made the conversation especially interesting was where they’re headed next. AI is already part of their workflow, with nearly 40% adoption of AI Companion. The team sees real potential in using it to eliminate manual note-taking and make meetings more actionable. At the same time, they’re approaching it thoughtfully, pausing to ensure security and privacy standards are fully vetted before scaling further. It’s a great example of innovation paired with responsibility. At the same time, they’re taking a hard look at efficiency. They’re also exploring how to s

Imagine 5 to 15 retired seniors meeting to be taught and/or discuss a subject of interest. Sometimes all parties are in their homes connecting by Zoom. Sometimes everyone except the speaker is in one room like a church social hall or the back room of a small restaurant with a large screen TV and an upgraded microphone/camera on a laptop. The problem is that most of the time there are a mix of people in the room on phones, tablets or laptops; There are also people in the room depending on a communal monitor, speaker, mike and camera to participate. Finally, there are some people trying to be in both worlds with a phone for speaker and mike, but using the monitor to see the group.  The pure groups work fine but the mixed groups have problems with not enough volume, not enough mike sensitivity and feedback. I am sure that part of the problem involves managing the layout of the groups but part of the problem is not having the right equipment. We are not a business with

We’ve been getting a lot of questions lately around Brand Vetting and the “Partial Upgrade Available” label in Zoom SMS Campaigns — so we wanted to take a moment to clearly explain what these mean, why they matter, and how they affect your ability to use Zoom SMS.If you’ve seen a “Not vetted” status or a Partial Upgrade Available tag and wondered what’s next, this post is for you. What is Brand Vetting in Zoom?Brand Vetting is a required verification process for Zoom customers who want to use SMS (10DLC) for business messaging.It’s part of carrier compliance requirements and helps ensure that:Your business is legitimate You are authorized to represent the brand name you registered SMS traffic sent through Zoom is trusted by mobile carriersThis process is especially important for A2P (Application-to-Person) messaging, which includes customer notifications, alerts, reminders, and support messages. What is the Vetting Status for?The Vetting Status (for example, Not vetted or Vetted) tells

Keeping up with notes during meetings can sometimes distract you from the conversation. My Notes in Zoom Workplace helps make note-taking easier by giving you a personal space to capture ideas while AI Companion helps organize the important details. As you write your notes, AI Companion can assist by transcribing discussions, creating summaries, highlighting key points, and identifying action items, helping you quickly understand the most important takeaways after the meeting. Your notes are also completely private, meaning they’re only visible to you and aren’t automatically shared with hosts or other participants. Another helpful benefit is its flexibility across meeting environments. You can use My Notes during Zoom Meetings and Zoom Webinars, but also for in-person conversations or meetings hosted on platforms like Microsoft Teams and Google Meet. Once the meeting ends, your notes remain available in the Zoom desktop app or web portal where you can review, update, and organize them

We’ve all been there—facing a sudden Zoom issue minutes before an important meeting. Maybe your audio isn’t connecting, or your recording didn’t save where you expected. The instinct for many users is to turn to a generic AI tool for help. But what if the fastest, most accurate answers were already built right into your Zoom experience?That’s exactly what Zoom AI Companion brings to the table—a powerful, integrated assistant designed specifically to understand Zoom inside and out. Story Time: A customer by the name of Sarah, a project manager, had a big client call coming up. She suddenly noticed her Zoom background settings were not working as usual. In a rush, she asked a popular external AI tool for help—but the answers were vague, with steps that didn’t match Zoom’s current interface. Frustrated, she remembered my advice that one time we had an Account review— “Ask Zoom AI Companion”.Within seconds, the Companion recognized her issue, provided step-by-step guidance tailored to her

The Challenge: Managing a Hundred Participants, One Certificate at a Time I met with Sean, a Training Director, for an account review. Like many training coordinators, his days were filled with a familiar frustration: managing numerous training sessions single-handedly while drowning in administrative tasks. Picture this: After hosting a training session with numerous participants, they would manually review attendance records, cross-reference completion requirements, create individual certificates, and send them out one by one. For someone managing multiple training sessions each week, this process consumed hours that could have been spent on what truly mattered, which is improving training quality and working on other training sessions. "I have to manually share links with each person individually," Sean explained during our call. With paid instructors delivering specialized content and participants expecting professional certificates upon completion, the manual tracking and certific
