Overview
Our mission is to provide an AI-first work platform for human connection. Our culture of delivering happiness drives our mission and values and is fundamental to everything we do at Zoom.
Zoom Workplace with AI Companion is an open, AI-first work platform for human connection. Zoom Workplace makes connecting easier, more immersive, and more dynamic for businesses and individuals. We’re committed to evolving our platform in ways that empower limitless human connection and solve real business problems. All of our product innovation has a unified goal: to help streamline the workday through effective communication and collaboration tools. Together with Zoom Workplace, Zoom’s Business Services for sales, marketing, and customer experience teams, including Zoom Contact Center, Zoom Revenue Accelerator and Zoom Events strengthen customer relationships throughout the customer lifecycle. The Zoom platform makes teamwork more meaningful, drives impact with intelligence, strengthens customer relationships, and enables seamless workflows. Trust is a cornerstone of the Zoom platform. We equip users with a comprehensive set of tools to make their interactions safe, secure, and private. We believe that strong security should never compromise a great user experience.
Businesses of all sizes and individuals alike choose Zoom over other industry players for several reasons:
• We care for customers at Zoom speed: Zoom puts customers first and is committed to providing a platform and products that people love. Zoom listens to its customers and puts innovation in customers' hands quickly to serve their needs.
• AI-first: Zoom’s mission is to deliver an AI-first work platform for human connection. This AI-first approach to Zoom Workplace and Zoom Business Services is designed to allow individuals and teams to free up time and focus on what matters most: engaging, connecting, and delivering creative and insightful work, all within one unified platform
• Enterprise readiness: Zoom is built to meet the needs of enterprises, with robust reliability, security, compliance, and privacy capabilities and policies.
• Designed for flexible work: Zoom is a platform designed for flexible communication and today’s flexible work needs.
• Zoom just works: Ease of use is a core design principle, along with quality and reliability.
• Cost-effective and value-focused: The total cost of ownership of the Zoom platform, across the employee experience and customer experience, is less than that of our competitors.
• Open platform that enables customer choice: The Zoom developer ecosystem enables customers to choose the apps and integrations they prefer. Zoom offers more than 2,900 apps on the Zoom App Marketplace and integrations with key software vendors, such as Microsoft and Google.
We’re on a mission to reimagine the way the world communicates and collaborates. Zoom brings employee and customer experience together into a single, AI-first, open platform that people love to use. Flagship products like Zoom Meetings, Zoom Phone, Zoom Team Chat, and Zoom Docs are among the core products on the platform that are critical to business communication and collaboration needs. We strive to continue building a platform that helps people work smarter, be more engaged with work, and better connect with each other. AI has been core to Zoom’s product DNA over many years, grounded in our conviction that AI can make work more human by strengthening collaboration, productivity, and inclusivity.
In fiscal year 2025, Zoom continued to invest in AI and focused on three key areas regarding AI: supporting individual productivity, powering better collaboration, and helping customer-facing teams deliver meaningful business value to delight their customers. In September 2023, we launched Zoom AI Companion, our smart assistant that is designed to empower workers to increase productivity, improve team effectiveness, and enhance skills. Additionally, we introduced our federated approach to AI, which enables the use of multiple large language models (“LLMs”), including Zoom’s own, to complete each task for users. Zoom’s federated approach allows its tech stack to dynamically select from multiple AI models, including those from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta, making AI accessible and affordable so that more people can incorporate them in their day-to-day workflows. With these advancements in AI Companion and our broader AI strategy, we believe we’re well-positioned as AI technology continues to evolve. We are evolving agentic AI capabilities within AI Companion that will continue to deliver practical value to customers while building on our ambitious vision of AI that truly amplifies human potential for our customers. In line with our commitment to responsible AI, Zoom does not use customer audio, video, chat, screen sharing, attachments, or other communications (such as poll results, whiteboard, and reactions) to train Zoom’s or third-party AI models.

Zoom continues to be at the center of flexible work. Our continued product innovation is laser-focused on supporting a flexible work environment, with new innovations in areas such as document collaboration, hybrid workspaces, and employee communication. Additionally, our employee experience platform, Workvivo, deepened our commitment to creating a platform that is focused on connecting and engaging employees.
Unlike most Contact Center as a Service (“CCaaS”) solutions that are only optimized for voice, Zoom Contact Center is an omnichannel cloud contact center platform that is optimized for video and intentionally supports a robust suite of channels, such as voice and video, SMS, and webchat. The result is a one-stop shop designed for customer experience leaders to deliver excellence to their customers and to strengthen workforce engagement.
The happiness we deliver is recognized by our customers. Zoom has consistently earned high scores across customer review sites, Gartner Peer Insights, TrustRadius, and G2, including being recognized as a 2024 Customers’ Choice in the Gartner Peer Insight “Voice of the Customer” for Unified Communications as a Service (“UCaaS”) and Visual Collaboration Applications, and a Leader badge for Zoom Contact Center by G2. Industry analysts also recognize our market leadership across our platform and products: Gartner has named Zoom a leader in the Magic Quadrant for UCaaS for the fourth year in a row, and Workvivo was named a leader in the Magic Quadrant for Intranet Packaged Solutions. Forrester published its Forrester Wave for Conversational Intelligence, where Zoom Revenue Accelerator debuted as a “Strong” player. IDC named Zoom Events as a leader in its IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Virtual Events Applications. Zoom Workplace was also named Editor’s Choice and one of the Best Products and Services of the Year (2024) by PC Mag, included in Fast Company’s 2024 Most Innovative Companies list, and awarded CRN Tech Innovators Award for Zoom AI Companion, as well as Best Unified Communications Platform >$250m, Best UCaaS Provider AMERICAS, Best Collaboration Platform, and Best Hybrid Workplace Product from UC Today.
Our Growth Strategy
We focus on the following elements of our strategy to drive our growth:
• Keep our existing customers happy. We deliver happiness to our customers by giving them experiences that add meaningful business value and delight them. We respond to customer needs with action to drive positive user experiences. We believe these practices result in our high scores across customer review sites and will continue to generate referrals from our existing customers, providing meaningful viral adoption for the foreseeable future.
• Drive new customer acquisition. Our platform is designed to make it easy to host meetings. By attracting free users to our platform, we promote usage that allows them and their meeting attendees to experience the Zoom difference. We complement this lead-generation model with our multipronged go-to-market strategy that integrates the viral enthusiasm for our platform with optimal routes-to-market, including direct sales representatives, online channel, resellers, and strategic partners. This approach is designed to allow us to cost-effectively drive upgrades to our paid offering and expansion within organizations of all sizes and verticals.
• Innovate our platform continuously. Our engineers aim to stay on the cutting edge of communication, collaboration, and AI technologies. We strive to deliver the best experience to our users by dedicating a portion of our engineering capacity to developing on-demand, customer-requested features that would be valuable across our customer base. Our core areas of focus are bolstering innovation on products in the following categories: employee experience, customer experience, core communications, generative AI and departmental and industry-specific solutions.
• Drive international expansion. With users, offices, and data centers strategically located around the world, we are poised to reach new customers globally. Our platform is intuitively designed such that localization requirements are minimal. For example, our platform works without intensive translation requirements with only a few language adjustments to our user interface and support systems. Zoom continues to make meetings more effective and inclusive with new language captions and translations. Within a Zoom Meeting, translated captions will translate the source language into English captions or translate from English to the language selected by the meeting participant. Translated captions support more than 35 languages. This facilitates seamless collaboration and helps to improve attendee engagement, including after the meeting, through AI Companion summaries.
• Expand within existing customers. As organizations experience our platform and become familiar with its benefits, more teams and departments within these organizations adopt Zoom. Our platform may begin in a line of business and then organically expand across departments. This “land and expand” model has led to some of our largest deployments. Customers are also purchasing services for events, webinars, room solutions, phone, contact center, and employee experience, creating a complete and integrated set of communications services.

• Grow our developer ecosystem and continue to expand our platform. Through the Zoom Developer ecosystem, we enable customers and their developers to build their own solutions with our underlying platform technology, seamlessly embed our platform into their own offerings, and integrate their applications across Zoom products using our extensive library of application program interfaces (“APIs”) and selection of software development kits (“SDKs”). Our app marketplace further extends the value and adoption of Zoom with our customers through the development and distribution of apps and integrations. We continue to partner with video conferencing hardware and peripheral providers, as well as with software providers, including Palo Alto Networks, Zendesk, and Box.
Our Platform
We provide an open, AI-first work platform for human connection that delivers happiness and fundamentally changes how people interact, connecting them through frictionless and secure meetings, phone, chat, content sharing and more. Our products are grouped under the following categories, which are further described below:
• AI - Zoom AI Companion drives impact with intelligence
• Zoom Workplace - Enables seamless collaboration and productivity on a unified platform
• Zoom Business Services - Strengthens customer relationships and delivers superior service
• Employee Experience - Makes teamwork more meaningful and engaging
• Developer Ecosystem - Creates custom integrations and streamlines workflows
AI
Zoom AI Companion
Zoom AI Companion, launched in September 2023, is Zoom’s generative AI digital assistant, designed to be seamlessly embedded across Zoom's suite of products to deliver real-time digital assistance and enhance productivity. It works effortlessly across Zoom Meetings, Zoom Team Chat, Zoom Email, Zoom Whiteboard, and Zoom Events and more. Zoom AI Companion uses a federated AI approach that incorporates Zoom’s own LLMs with third-party models to deliver high-quality results and lower customer costs. Zoom AI Companion is included at no additional cost for customers with paid services in their Zoom user accounts.
Zoom Workplace
Zoom Meetings
Zoom Meetings provides HD video, voice, chat, and content sharing across mobile devices, desktops, laptops, telephones, and conference room systems. Our architecture can support up to 1,000 video participants in a single meeting. Conversations can be one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many. Zoom Meetings feature a 49-person video gallery view, virtual backgrounds, MP4/M4A cloud/local recording with transcripts, video breakout rooms, screen sharing with annotation, and integrations with other powerful business applications to help teams get more done together. Zoom Meetings integrate with tools created by companies such as Atlassian, Box, Dropbox, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Slack. Our meetings are a flexible tool for on-the-go employees who rely on their mobile devices or tablets throughout their business day.
An end-to-end encryption (“E2EE”) option is available to free and paid Zoom customers globally who host meetings with up to 1000 participants. Zoom’s E2EE uses the same 256-bit AES GCM encryption that secures Zoom meetings by default, but with Zoom’s E2EE, the meeting host generates encryption keys and uses public key cryptography to distribute these keys to the other meeting participants. Additionally, a customer-managed key (“CMK”) service allows organizations to provide and manage their own encryption keys for certain customer content stored at rest in the Zoom Cloud. The organization needs to manage the keys in the Amazon Web Services Key Management Service. This allows for encryption of applicable content stored in the Zoom Cloud using the keys that the organization controls. We believe Zoom was also the first UCaaS company to offer post-quantum E2EE solution video conferencing. Post-quantum E2EE works across Zoom Workplace, and employs upgraded algorithms designed to be able to withstand the potential future threats of quantum computers.
Translated captions help to remove language barriers, connect people, and promote inclusivity in meetings and webinars. Zoom Meetings currently offers translated captions in 35 languages.
Zoom Phone

Zoom Phone is a cloud phone system for businesses that provides private branch exchange (“PBX”) features, such as secure call routing, call queuing, call detail reports, call recording, call quality monitoring, voicemail, switch to video, and much more. Zoom Phone provides inbound and outbound calling via its support for native connectivity to the public switched telephone network (“PSTN”). Available stand-alone, or as an optional add-on to Zoom Meetings, Zoom Phone is a core component of our modern UCaaS strategy that enables customers to replace their existing PBX solution and consolidate all of their business communications and collaboration requirements onto Zoom. As of January 31, 2025, Zoom Phone provided native PSTN connectivity in more than 45 countries and territories.
Zoom Phone also supports Premises Peering and Cloud Peering, which provide customers with the flexibility to keep their current PSTN service providers by redirecting existing third-party voice circuits to the Zoom Phone Cloud. Hybrid connectivity is also supported, allowing customers to mix native Zoom Phone calling plans and third-party voice circuits. This unique capability allows customers to enjoy all of the benefits and features of Zoom Phone while keeping their existing service provider contracts, phone numbers, and calling rates with their preferred carrier of record.
Zoom Phone Provider Exchange makes it easier for customers to choose their preferred PSTN provider partners, providing an improved way to connect with cloud peering partners, promote the discovery of new providers, and enable self-service of phone numbers from selected partners. As of January 31, 2025, there are more than 90 countries and territories included in the Provider Exchange program.
Zoom Team Chat
Zoom Team Chat, which is included in Zoom Workplace and Zoom Phone plans, enables organizations and teams to communicate and collaborate in groups, channels, or one-on-ones and to stay connected by instantly sharing messages, images, files, and other content across desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile devices. With Zoom Team Chat, users can easily invite people outside their organization to a chat conversation and quickly switch from a chat to a phone call or video meeting during a conversation. Zoom Team Chat also features content storage for users who want discoverability and the ability to review their conversations or shared files. There are dozens of Zoom Team Chat-compatible applications available in the Zoom App Marketplace that provide notifications and improved workflow for other enterprise systems.

Developer Ecosystem
Zoom Developer Platform and App Marketplace
The Zoom Developer Platform enables developers, platform integrators, service providers, and customers to easily build apps and integrations that use Zoom’s video-based communications solutions across video, phone, and chat, or integrate Zoom’s core technology into their products and services, with opportunities for co-marketing, discovery, and distribution.

Our Technology and Infrastructure
Our unique technology and infrastructure enable best-in-class reliability, scalability, and performance. We designed our open, AI-first collaboration platform to help streamline the workday through effective communication and collaboration tools. Our Federated AI approach leverages the best of both our proprietary AI and industry-leading models from partners like OpenAI and Anthropic. The right AI model is applied to each specific task to optimize performance and efficiency.
Video communication presents its own unique set of challenges, requiring significant computing resources for encoding, decoding, multiplexing, and synchronization, along with high network bandwidth and performance. To address this, our platform separates video content processing from the transporting and mixing of streams. We allocate video content processing to intelligent agents that reside on client devices and dynamically encode and decode based on the performance of client technology, network performance, and bandwidth. Our next-generation multimedia router operates on commodity hardware and a globally distributed cloud infrastructure to determine the optimal data centers to host a meeting and an optimal set of paths to connect the participants.
Our Customers
We have customers of all sizes, from individuals to global Fortune 50 organizations. Our current customer base spans countries across the world and numerous industry categories, including education, entertainment/media, enterprise infrastructure, finance, government, health care, manufacturing, nonprofit/not-for-profit and social impact, retail/consumer products, and software/internet. No individual customer represented more than 10% of our total revenue in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025.
Sales
Our sales model combines our viral demand generation and our free Zoom Meetings and Zoom Workplace basic plan with a sales approach optimized for the size of each customer opportunity. Our direct sales force includes our field sales representatives as well as our inside sales team, and it is organized by customer subscription size, region, and vertical. Our channel team works across a broad channel ecosystem, from resellers to strategic technology and service partners, as well as independent software vendors (ISVs) and service integrators (SIs), to build a strong ecosystem that broadens our reach. Our online channel supports high-volume, high-velocity, self-service sales.

For information on the risks associated with our international operations, see “Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry” under “Item 1A - Risk Factors.”
Our Competition
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. We face competition from legacy web-based meeting services providers, including Cisco Webex and GoTo, bundled productivity suite providers with communications offerings, including Microsoft 365 (with Teams) and Google Workspace (with Meet), and UCaaS and legacy web-based meeting providers, including Avaya, RingCentral, and 8x8, as well as consumer-facing platforms that can support small- or medium-sized businesses, including Amazon, Apple, and Facebook. Additionally, as our Contact Center customer base continues to grow, we may face additional competition, including from Five9, Inc., Genesys, and NICE inContact.
We believe we compete favorably based on the following competitive factors:
• open, AI-first work platform;
• cloud-native architecture;
• functionality and scalability;
• ease of use and reliability;
• brand awareness and preference;
• ability to utilize existing infrastructure, such as legacy conference room hardware; and
• low total cost of ownership.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and contractual protections to establish and protect our intellectual property rights. We actively seek patent protection covering inventions originating from our company. We also pursue the registration and enforcement of trademarks and domain names in the United States and in various jurisdictions outside the United States.
We control access to and use of our proprietary technology and other confidential information through internal and external controls, including contractual protections with employees, contractors, customers, and partners. Our software is protected by U.S. and international intellectual property laws. Our policy requires employees and independent contractors to sign agreements (1) assigning to us any inventions, trade secrets, works of authorship, and other intellectual property generated by them in the course of their employment, and (2) agreeing to protect our confidential information.
In certain circumstances, we license intellectual property from third parties for use in our products. This may include open source software. We take steps to ensure compliance with the terms of the licenses governing such licensed technology. We believe our business is not materially dependent on any individual patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, or other intellectual property right, whether our own or licensed from third parties. For information on the risks associated with our intellectual property, see “Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property” under “Item 1A - Risk Factors.”
Government Regulation
Our business activities are subject to various federal, state, local, and foreign laws, rules, and regulations. Compliance with these laws, rules, and regulations has not had, and is not expected to have, a material effect on our capital expenditures, results of operations, and competitive position as compared to prior periods. Nevertheless, compliance with existing or future governmental regulations, including, but not limited to, those pertaining to global trade, business acquisitions, consumer and data protection, and taxes, could have a material impact on our business in subsequent periods.

None of our U.S. employees are represented by a labor union. Employees in two of our non-U.S. subsidiaries have the benefit of a collective bargaining agreement and are represented by a workers’ council. We have not experienced interruptions of operations or any work stoppages due to labor disagreements.
Our Culture of Happiness
We are focused on delivering happiness to our employees and customers. We strive to change the way business is done through our communications technology and our company culture. We take happiness so seriously that we have an employee-led happiness committee and crew to facilitate and amplify our efforts to deliver happiness to our employees and customers.
Our culture of delivering happiness drives our mission and values and is fundamental to everything we do at Zoom:
• Mission. An AI-first work platform for human connection
• Values. We care for our customers, company, communities, teammates, and selves
This culture supports our hiring and serves as a competitive advantage in attracting and retaining top talent. Zoom has been prominently featured in the computer software category on Fortune’s ‘Most Admired Companies’ list four years running and included in Fast Company’s 2024 Most Innovative Companies list, as well as Forbes’ 2025 list of America’s Best Midsize Employers. Additionally, it was named to the Variety500, an award that recognizes the most influential business leaders shaping the industry.
Compensation and Benefits
We offer fair, competitive compensation and benefits that support our employees’ overall well-being. Our employees’ total compensation packages include base pay, bonuses or sales commissions, and equity. We offer a wide array of benefits including comprehensive healthcare benefits including mental health, and fertility benefits, wellness benefits, a book reimbursement plan to support continuous learning, and charitable gift matching through our Zoom Cares program.
Over the past several years, we conducted a comprehensive employee survey with regular follow-ups and engaged in peer research to make thoughtful decisions on how to move forward in an evolving world of work. Two priorities were immediately clear: keeping our employees safe and supporting them through a meaningful employee experience. We believe maintaining a flexible working environment for our employees is a key priority.
