UTK offers Zoom AI Companion to all faculty, staff, and students in its university Zoom environment, providing opt-in AI features that automatically generate text summaries of meetings, highlight key moments in recordings, and support interactive whiteboard content creation.
Details
The Zoom AI Companion is available within UTK's licensed Zoom environment at tennessee.zoom.us. Users must opt in by enabling AI Companion features in their Zoom account settings. The meeting summary feature provides hosts with a text summary of topics covered, and as of early 2026 supports preset summary templates including brainstorming, lecture summary, and discussion formats. OIT notes it does not support third-party meeting summary tools such as Otter.ai, citing potential privacy vulnerabilities.
