Webinar Summary with Zoom AI Companion uses AI technology, which may include third-party models, and allows webinar hosts to initiate an AI-generated summary of their webinar. When the host enables this feature in a webinar, hosts and panelists may automatically receive a summary after the webinar ends, if the host chose to share it with them.
Webinar Summaries are sent through email and available on the Zoom web portal, making it easy for hosts and panelists to review the key points of the webinar and the topics that were discussed.

Supported languages for Webinar Summary with AI Companion
Webinar Summary can summarize webinar discussions in several languages. If more than one language is spoken in the webinar, the generated summary will be provided in the language used by the majority of participants, or the host’s speaking language if there is no clear majority.
For conversations in languages other than English, ensuring that your caption language is set correctly helps AI Companion accurately transcribe speech, improving the quality of the generated transcript for Webinar Summary. If captions are disabled or were not previously used, English is chosen by default. If they have previously been used, the previously utilized caption language will be used instead. If a mismatch is detected between your chosen spoken language and the language you are speaking, AI Companion will detect and adapt to the speaking language detected.
