Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	I think Zoom Workplace is great for work calls. One bug or thing that I don't like about Zoom is I can't actually share the software application while screen sharing. For example, I can't show a whiteboard when I'm screen sharing when I'm using it from the desktop application, so it forces me to have to use the browser, which I don't love Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Zoom has a built-in AI-powered transcription feature that generates automated meeting summaries, so we don't have to take meeting notes. Zoom has stable video/audio quality even in low bandwidth. Zoom has everything in one place, like meetings, chat, phone, and whiteboard, so we don't have to juggle multiple apps.

Cons	No answers on this topic	It would be nice to be able to turn off or opt in and out of AI companion automatically. For some meetings, an even briefer summary or table would be nice. Free translated captions and summaries for workshops with communities that do not speak english as a first language. My Zoom Workplace requires me to restart at least once a week or it will cause some issues with crashing. This may be my device. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	It's really easy to use - the AI icon is everywhere all over the place in the Zoom client so it's easy to be able to leverage AI whenever you need it, and similarly in the meeting it's easy to find and to use.
