Question

Is there a way to dock the task list to the Home screen in Zoom Workplace?

Similar to my Outlook and other “Home” screens of this type, being able to see my tasks immediately when I enter, instead of having to click on the tasks option, would greatly increase my engagement with this feature, specifically. As someone with horrible ADHD, out of sight = out of mind. I am able to open my “Activity Center” panel, and I can see my calendar  (although, it would be nice if I could see more than a single day of this as well), but I can’t see my tasks easily when I open my Workplace. I haven’t been able to find a way to do this. Am I missing something that allows this option (and the option to see a week of my calendar as well)?

    Hi ​@LTux, fellow ADHD-er here, so I understand completely. You should be able to do this in the Zoom app. Here are the details that explain it better than I can :) https://www.zoom.com/en/blog/zoom-workplace-simplicity-ui-updates/?ampDeviceId=9f2ae410-6559-4195-8275-0f09b2c40972&ampSessionId=1777917189142#ebook-nav-blog-section-header

      Thank you for the link. It seems my suspicions have been confirmed: you can’t dock the actual task list to the Home screen. I can dock the button to go to the task list, but not my actual task list itself. I’m looking for something more like this:

        ​@LTux, okay, now I’m remembering that I had to build this myself. Let me see what I did (it’s been a minute), but in the meantime, you can do a split screen in your browser and work through Zoom on the web. Home on the left and Tasks on the right helps A LOT.

          As far as I know, Zoom Workplace currently doesn't provide a way to pin the Tasks view directly to the Home screen or make tasks automatically visible when you first open the app. The Activity Center can show calendar information, but task visibility and Home screen customization options are fairly limited compared to applications like Outlook.

          I also don't believe there's currently an option to expand the Home screen calendar widget to display a full week view. Most users are limited to the default calendar display provided in the Activity Center.

          If you're not seeing a setting under Settings > General or within the Workplace/Home customization options, you're probably not missing anything. This sounds more like a feature that isn't available yet rather than a configuration issue.

          You may want to submit this as a feature request to Zoom, as better task visibility and a weekly calendar view would likely be useful for many users, especially those who rely on task lists and calendar planning throughout the day.

          Has anyone else found a workaround or customization option that enables tasks to appear directly on the Home screen?
