Zoom has revealed that it is partnering with Tesla to bring its video conferencing platforms to the company’s cars.
The announcement was revealed by Nitasha Walia, Group Product Manager, Zoom Meetings, during Zoomtopia 2022.
A brief video demonstration was played during the event, and Walia was candid with how much she revealed about the partnership with Telsa.
She stated:
“This will be available on all new Tesla models soon.”
During the 45-second video clip, Zoom showed its platform used in a Tesla Model Y while it was parked for charging.
Details on how the video conferencing platform will work with Tesla vehicles are yet to be revealed; however, it is widely reported that the app will likely use the in-cabin camera above the rear-view mirror.
There is also speculation surrounding whether video conferencing will be available while the car is moving.
The biggest announcement from Zoomtopia comes from the company adding hosted and third-party email and calendar services directly into the Zoom app.
Users will no longer need to leave Zoom to access their email and calendar as popular email and calendar services will be integrated directly into the Zoom meeting application.
They can quickly access their communications and scheduling and complete their work more efficiently.
Alongside the launch of email and calendar, Zoom is also releasing Zoom Spots, Zoom Virtual Agent, Zoom IQ Virtual Coach, Zoom for Creators, Zoom Kiosk, Zoom Contact Center integrations, Zoom Developer Platform updates, and enhancements for Zoom Team Chat and Zoom Phone.
The company has recently announced a partnership with AMC Theatres to bring Zoom Rooms to selected AMC locations across the United States of America.
According to AMC, from 2023, theatres in as many as 17 cities across the US will leverage Zoom Rooms technology to connect small, medium and large groups in different locations.
Zoom Rooms at AMC will enable organisations to bring people from different markets together for virtual and in-person events.
All users will receive a three-hour time slot to host their event across multiple markets, with the necessary equipment provided by AMC and Zoom.
