Tasks

An action item from a meeting, a request from chat and an email with a job to do land in one list. Assignee, due date and status are visible to everyone who should see them.

What it is

Zoom Tasks is a task list inside Zoom Workplace. A task is created in the Tasks tab, from a message in Team Chat, from an email in Zoom Mail or from a meeting summary. Every task has an assignee, a due date, a status and a description. Nothing has to be copied into a separate program.

Zoom AI takes part on both sides. After a meeting it finds the action items in the conversation and suggests them as tasks. In the list it suggests where to start and takes some of the work on itself.

Tasks is available in the Zoom Workplace app on Windows, macOS and Linux, in the mobile app on iOS and Android, in the web app and in the web portal. For development teams there is a Jira integration.

Tasks where they were agreed
  • A task from a chat message
  • Action items from a meeting summary
  • A task from an email in Zoom Mail
  • Assignees, collaborators, due dates
  • Zoom AI finds and suggests tasks

The agreement does not get lost

An action item usually lives in three places: in someone's head, in chat and in someone's notes. Tasks brings them into one.

Born in a meeting

Zoom AI picks the action items out of the meeting summary and suggests them as tasks. All that is left is to set an assignee and a due date.

Came from chat

A Team Chat message turns into a task in two clicks. A notification about the new task appears in the same channel.

Visible to the team

Assignee, due date and status are open to those who should see them: only the task's participants or the whole organisation.

Capabilities

What you get from Zoom Tasks

One task list for meetings, chat and email

The task card

Title, due date, assignees and visibility are required. A formatted description, attachments, status and collaborators are optional.

From chat to task

Hover over a message and choose Create task. Or highlight a piece of text and create a task from it. The channel gets a notification.

From email to task

In Zoom Mail an email turns into a task with the same button. A customer's request does not drown in the inbox.

Zoom AI suggests tasks

After a meeting the AI picks out the action items and shows them under Recommended. Approve, and the task is in the list.

Zoom AI takes tasks on itself

Some tasks the AI completes on its own, for example a first draft or a summary. The list is shorter, and you decide what to accept.

Assignees and collaborators

A task has one or more assignees and collaborators with access. The creator is assigned by default.

Visibility

"Only assignees and collaborators" or "Anyone in the organisation". The task is seen by those who should see it and by nobody else.

Assignment notifications

An email and a chat message when a task is assigned to you. The two channels are switched on and off separately.

Jira integration

Zoom tasks connect to Jira if the team runs its projects there. Developers do not change their tool.

On any device

The app on Windows, macOS and Linux version 6.4.3 or later, the mobile app on iOS and Android from 6.4.5, the web app and the web portal.

Administrator controls

Enable Tasks for the account, a group or a user. Allow or block task assignment, attachments, email and chat notifications. A setting can be locked.

Licensing and availability

Tasks needs no separate licence: the feature has to be enabled and the Zoom Workplace app installed. Zoom warns that the feature may be unavailable for some verticals and regions. Suggestions and recommendations run on Zoom AI infrastructure.

Scenes

Where it works

Wherever a conversation should leave action items behind, not just an impression

01

Meeting follow-up

Zoom AI picked out the action items, the manager approved them as one list. Each has an assignee and a due date before everyone has left the room.

02

Requests from chat

A "could you take a look" in a channel becomes a task with an assignee. A week later it is clear whether it was done.

03

Customer emails

An email with a request turns into a task with a date. The reply does not depend on who opened the inbox first.

04

A personal to-do list

Tasks from meetings, chat and email in one place with today's due dates. Zoom AI suggests where to start.

05

Work across departments

A task is visible to the whole organisation if that is the choice. Neighbouring teams follow the status without reminders in chat.

06

Development teams

Zoom tasks connect to Jira, where the backlog lives. Agreements from a meeting reach the developers without manual copying.
