| New or enhanced feature | Enhancements to AI Companion settings in Outlook add-in | Users can update AI Companion settings directly in Outlook add-in after a meeting has been created. This enhancement supports both one-time and recurring meetings, allowing updates at the series level (for all future instances) or occurrence level (for a single meeting). | Windows macOS Outlook Online |
| New or enhanced feature | Disclaimer to prevent potential sync issues | When an assistant schedules a meeting on their own Outlook calendar instead of the host’s calendar, updates or deletions made to that event will not sync with Zoom through bi-directional sync. To prevent this, the Outlook add-in detects when the Outlook calendar owner differs from the Zoom meeting host and displays a message in the settings panel, “The meeting host is different from the Outlook calendar owner, which may cause sync issues with Zoom. Please schedule the meeting on the host’s Outlook calendar instead.” | Windows macOS Outlook Online |
| New or enhanced feature |
Recordings and transcripts ownership for co-host | Co-hosts now have equal access to meeting assets as hosts, allowing them to view, manage, and share meeting content such as recordings and transcripts. Previously, only hosts could perform post-meeting actions, which limited collaboration and delayed content management. With this update, hosts can enable a setting that grants co-hosts the same ownership permissions for meetings they co-host. The setting can be configured at the account, group, or user level and is turned off by default. Meeting assets shared with co-hosts will also appear under the Co-host section in the cloud recordings list for easier search and management. | Windows macOS Outlook Online |

| New or enhanced feature | Outlook add-in security enhancements |
Admins can disable Google and email sign-in options in the Outlook add-In for Zoom Meetings and Workspace Reservation through the manifest. Additionally, a new setting allows admins to restrict login to the company’s vanity URL, ensuring secure and approved authentication methods.

Windows |
| New or enhanced feature | Support EWS for exchange on-premise user |
The Outlook REST API used to modify meeting occurrences is no longer supported for Exchange on-premises users. To comply with Microsoft's deprecation of the REST API for on-prem Exchange, Zoom has added support for the EWS API to the Outlook Add-in.

| New or enhanced feature | Adjust consent flow for custom NAA Entra app |
The process for enabling Nested app authentication (NAA) for the Outlook add-in has been improved by allowing Entra admins to create a custom app with the necessary permissions and save the application ID within the Zoom admin web portal. Currently, despite this option, an Entra admin must still consent through a URL redirect from the Zoom portal, which contradicts the purpose of enabling consent within the Entra app. This update will remove that requirement, ensuring a smoother experience for customers who prefer to manage consent directly in Entra. |
Windows |
| Changed feature | Set custom backgrounds when scheduling Zoom Meetings in Outlook |
Users with free accounts can now select or upload a custom background while scheduling a meeting, ensuring a smooth and consistent experience. Previously, users had to manually select a background after a meeting started, disrupting the flow and leading to inconsistencies. This improvement simplifies the process, enhances branding opportunities, and eliminates the need for manual adjustments during meetings. |

Hosts can enable AI Companion features, such as meeting summaries and meeting questions, directly from the meeting scheduler with a single click.
