Zoom AI Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Zoom AI Companion features can be used in any meeting scheduled through Northwestern Zoom.

Zoom does not use any audio, video, chat, screen sharing, attachments, or other communications—like customer content (such as poll results, whiteboards, and reactions) — to train Zoom's or its third-party AI models. For more information, visit the Zoom website.

By default, only the host has access to their meeting summary. The host will receive the summary via email and can edit and forward it to anyone. The summary is also viewable in the host's Zoom account online. From there, the host can edit and send the summary.

A meeting bot is an application that connects to a meeting and accesses the meeting's audio and video content, or an app that streams media into a meeting. Some of these meeting bots are not affiliated with Zoom's AI Companion.

To protect your meetings:

• Enable "Require authentication to join" when scheduling your meetings.
• Enable the Waiting Room. This gives the host and co-host the ability to admit participants they can identify.

No. Zoom AI Companion and the “AI Companion panel” are not the same thing, but they are related. Zoom AI Companion is a suite of AI-powered features that can help with various tasks within Zoom Workplace. The AI Companion panel is a specific interface or window within the Zoom app where users can access and interact with these AI features. The AI Companion panel is not currently available for Northwestern Zoom, as indicated by “Locked by admin” and is not needed for using Zoom AI Companion features.

The Meeting Summary feature uses in-meeting data to generate the meeting summary document. It does not collect data until the meeting host or co-host enables the feature from the in-meeting toolbar. Participants receive a notification when they start. Anyone who remains in the meeting will be included in the meeting summary.
