How does a host turn on AI Companion in a Zoom meeting?

Tags zoom-ai

Only meeting hosts can start or stop AI Companion through in-meeting controls. Attendees receive a notification but if they don't want Zoom AI Companion used, they need to notify the host directly; click off the notification won't do anything.

First, ensure that AI Companion is enabled in your Zoom settings:

  • Log into the University’s Zoom web portal at zoom.charlotte.edu using your NinerNet credentials  
    • Click on Settings in the menu to the left
    • Open the AI Companion tab
    • Ensure that the Meeting Summary, AI Companion Questions, Smart Recording, and Whiteboard Content Generation features are enabled

    >   Any disabled features will need to be enabled before you will be able to use them in future meetings
