In anannouncementproudly proclaiming that the tool has now has summarized one million meetings, the video calling company said that it would now support 32 new languages, which will launch in preview before being made generally available.

Zoom AI is getting even better, for no additional cost
It’s no secret that video conferencing has become the norm for so many workers globally, but many of us still fear public speaking, even from the comfort of our own homes.
To solve this, Zoom has added a new speech analytics section to its Smart Recordings to provide the host with information about their talk-listen ratio, talk speed, and speech fillers, all in a bid to optimize engagement.
The company also plans to introduce greater control over which models its customers use, with an option to only enable Zoom’s proprietary LLM.
The updates are planned for a release sometime in November, and eligible Zoom users will get them for free. Speaking about the company’s commitment to value, Zoom CPO Smita Hashim said:
