Can't turn on Zoom AI Companion. I click the switch to enable but doesn't stay.

Hey there. I'm looking to enable the Zoom AI Companion for certain users of our company. I tried going into the Account Settings and turning on the toggle switch but it doesn't stay on, it just goes back to off. I then get a message the settings have been saved. 

 

I need to figure out why I can't turn this on, and then explore how to control access to only certain users. 

 

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for this. I will try in a couple minutes.

 

Is there any way to only allow certain employees to use the AI Companion?

Yes @rdunlap , you can leverage Groups within the Zoom Administration portal to selectively deploy features (not just AI Companion) to specific users.  This article may help you:  https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0062584

Thank you for this. Can you possibly help us with turning on AI Companion?

yes @rdunlap but we have an Onboarding Center for customers looking to activate AI Companion that should help you with different assets including video guides walking you through how to enable AI Companion:  https://www.zoom.com/en/products/ai-assistant/resources/onboarding-resources/?amp_device_id=03f56f48-e47a-4bf5-97c7-f015b035a0e8

That's the issue we're having. I only see a single toggle switch on under the AI Companion. It's a lot different than what I'm seeing in the video.
