A wide range of product advantages, for example:

Video conferences with up to 300 participants, no time limit

Zoom's Basic licence is limited to 40 minutes for video conferences.

With Zoom X Workplace, you can hold an unlimited number of group meetings with up to 300 people for as long as you need.

Record in the cloud

With a Basic licence, you can only record meetings on your local device.

With Zoom X Workplace, you can save recorded video meetings, training sessions, or other events directly to the cloud and make them available to your employees. This saves you time and storage space on your local device.

Each Zoom X Workplace licence includes 5 GB of storage space for cloud recordings in MP4/M4A format at no additional cost.

Streaming on social media

With Zoom X Workplace Pro, you can also broadcast a livestream directly to Facebook and YouTube. You also have access to customised livestreaming services to expand your audience reach.

Scaling intelligently

Zoom X Workplace Pro is more suitable for small teams (up to 9 licences). For larger teams, use Zoom X Workplace Business and expand according to your needs. Zoom X Workplace Business is available from 10 licences.

Central admin portal

The admin portal allows administrators to manage all users and settings via a central portal. The Business Edition offers a comprehensive administrator dashboard that makes it easy to view information ranging from overall usage to live meeting data. It also offers single sign-on (SSO) integration, allowing you to log in to Zoom X Business with a variety of SSO providers such as Okta or Centrify without having to enter your own login details.

Zoom X Workplace business accounts also feature managed domains. Thanks to the efficient organisation of applications, your business account will save you a lot of time in licence management.

Custom branding for your online meetings

With the Business Edition, you have the option of creating your own vanity URL. You can include your company name in this URL, for example (yourcompany.zoom.us).

In addition, you can create your own email template with your company design for both internal and external communication to send meeting invitations to participants using Zoom X.

Automatic speech-to-text transcriptions

One highlight of Zoom X Workplace Business is automatic speech-to-text transcription for cloud recordings in English. This gives you a transcript straight away, without anyone having to take notes.

The automatically generated transcript saves you a lot of time, as you can search for specific terms in the text immediately after the meeting. This allows you to find conversation content quickly and efficiently without having to watch the video.

The domain zoom-x.de is an alias or communicative domain that ultimately redirects to a target URL. In this case, to eu02web.zoom.us. However, redirection to the URL eu02web.zoom.us does not mean that your meeting data is located in the USA. With Zoom X, your meeting data remains in Germany.

Similar example: If you enter the communicative URL www.telekom.de/zoom-x in your web browser, it will be redirected to the target URL https://geschaeftskunden.telekom.de/business/loesungen/digitalisierung/zusammenarbeit-produktivitaet/zoom-x.
