Sharing and requesting access to a private task

With Zoom Tasks, users can share and request access to private tasks. When a request is made, an email notification will be sent to the task assignee and/or creator for approval. Once a request has been made, approval or denial can be done from the email notification or directly within the Zoom Workplace app or Zoom Web portal.
