Zoom expands AI features, introduces custom avatars and upgraded companion

Zoom has announced that it will soon allow users to create an AI avatar of themselves for sending short video messages to their team. This development is part of the communications technology company’s AI expansion plans.

To create a digital avatar, users will be required to record a video of themselves, which will be utilised by Zoom’s artificial intelligence to create an avatar that resembles them in appearance and speech. Users can write the text that the AI avatar will speak. The feature will work exclusively with Zoom’s Clips feature.
