Zoom enhances Team Chat with new sidebar and AI integrations

Zoom adds updates to Team Chat including a revamped sidebar, support for code blocks and AI Companion integrations.

Zoom introduces an updated sidebar for Team Chat that allows users to organize their workspace more efficiently. In addition, the update provides support for code blocks and in-line code, as well as AI Companion integrations that help with productivity and collaboration.

Renewed sidebar

The revamped sidebar in Zoom Team Chat lets users organize chats, channels and apps based on their preferences. Users can drag, reorder and pin tabs to better customize the interface to their workflow. Advanced sorting and filtering options make it easier to find relevant conversations and information quickly.

The AI Companion in Team Chat helps users by generating action items from conversations and creating summaries of unread messages. The AI can also quickly provide answers to questions within a chat or look up files. Notifications are more flexibly configurable, allowing users to customize notifications on a tab-by-tab basis.

Code Blocks

Zoom Team Chat now supports code blocks and in-line code, which is especially useful for users who want to share or highlight code within chat messages. In-line code allows specific snippets of text to be visually distinguished from other messages.

The search function within Zoom has been improved, making it easier for users to find information in chats, meetings and documents.
