Enabling or disabling email address for chat and channels in Zoom Team Chat

You can send or forward emails directly to specific chats and channels by linking them to an email address. By setting up unique email addresses for each channel or chat, anyone with the address can easily send emails to that destination. This feature enhances the efficiency of sharing information across teams.

Creating and sending emails to chats and channels are enabled by default. Admins can enable or disable this feature at both the account and group levels, and can also manage which email domains are allowed.
