Zoom is launching Zoom Notes to enable users to collaborate before, during, and after meetings.
With these new Notes, users will be able to create and share content within Zoom Meetings, while working alongside others on calls to gain real-time contributions.
As a result, they will no longer need to switch between Zoom and third-party applications, which will save time and reduce distractions.
Moreover, users can continue working in Notes outside of meetings and share them for collaborative input at any time.
Darin Brown, Head of Productivity Applications at Zoom, said: “We wanted to offer a clean user experience that allows users to create agendas and notes while staying within the Zoom platform instead of jumping to other content management tools.
“With Notes, it’s seamless to create and share personal and collaborative notes in and out of meetings.”
How to Use Notes
Diving deeper into the practical usage of Zoom Notes, users can create their notes, set an agenda, and share it with the other meeting attendees before a meeting.
If you want to set up a note during a meeting, you can open Notes, share it with meeting participants, and then work together on them.
Alternatively, users can share notes after a meeting with anyone they wish.
Existing notes can be easily accessed from the in-meeting navigation bar, as well as the option to begin a new note.
Note creators can initiate sharing sessions during meetings in order to collaborate in real-time, in the same way as Zoom Whiteboard.
Features of Notes
Zoom Notes includes, what Zoom calls, a “robust editor” and “extensive formatting options”, like font, styling, bullets, colours, and more.
Users can also add links and images to Notes, while their content is regularly auto-saved to help prevent any potential loss of content.
Notes cater to both short and simple memos to lengthy note-taking and documentation with a “clean workspace”.
