What to know about the new Zoom Workplace

What if you could combine the separate communication and collaboration tools you use throughout your workday, on a single platform? That’s the power of Zoom Workplace. It consolidates the disparate apps you use in a day, helping to create productivity gains and reduce silos by unifying how you collaborate, communicate, and share information fluidly across chat, phone, video, email, and more. 

If you’re familiar with the Zoom desktop app, you will notice the new Zoom Workplace name throughout the app, and many new enhancements that are now available:

  • Simplified navigation: We’ve simplified the navigation bar at the top to make it easier for you to organize and find the tabs you use most often. You can drag and drop tabs into the order you prefer. 

  • Combined meetings and calendar view: If you want a more connected view between your calendar and meetings, you can combine them into one tab with a traditional calendar and a new agenda view. Go to your online account settings to enable this.

  • New color themes: You can choose from new color themes to suit your mood or opt for Zoom’s classic dark or light themes (in your desktop app settings).

  • Customizable meeting toolbar: In meetings, you’ll see a simplified toolbar where you can turn on AI Companion, share your screen and documents, and find host tools. You can customize the toolbar by dragging and dropping items (including from the “More” menu) into place.

  • Multi-speaker view: Also in meetings, you have the option to turn on a new multi-speaker view, which highlights people who are actively speaking in the meeting. Go to “Views” in the top right corner of the meeting window to activate it in meetings with more than five participants.
