Collaborate like you’re in the same room, even when you’re not

Your workday might look something like this: you’re in a Zoom Meeting, referencing a PowerPoint someone emailed you, opening a Google Doc from a shared Drive, then scrambling to find the most recent version of an Excel file that lives on someone’s desktop. Instead of streamlined teamwork, collaborating turns into scrambling between various tabs and tools. 

Productivity suites like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace are powerful tools used every day to create and share important documents. The problem is that we use them in silos: meetings in one place, files in another, and conversations somewhere else entirely. That disjointed experience forces people to constantly switch context, chase links, and waste time trying to stay aligned.

Add in remote, hybrid, and distributed teams, and those small inefficiencies start to stack up. Files don’t get shared properly. Feedback is fragmented across email and chat. People lose their focus.

Now you can bring your files—whether they live in Microsoft 365 or Google Drive—right alongside Zoom Meetings. With the Microsoft 365 for Zoom and Google Drive for Zoom apps, there’s no more switching apps to hunt down files or wondering who in the meeting has the right permissions. You can open, edit, share, and collaborate on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations without interrupting the flow of your meeting.

Microsoft 365 for Zoom app

• Connect your Microsoft account to access and manage permissions for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files inside Zoom Meetings.
• Create new Microsoft documents on the fly during meetings.
• Share files with participants and control access levels—viewer, commenter, or editor.
• Collaborate with other meeting participants in real time with streamlined screen sharing of the selected file.
• See rich file previews for Microsoft 365 links shared in Zoom Team Chat.

Google Drive for Zoom app

• Connect your Google account to access and manage permissions for your Google Drive files directly from Zoom Meetings.
• Create new and share documents, Sheets, and Slides with everyone in the meeting.
• Adjust sharing permissions without leaving Zoom.
• Collaborate on Google files in real time while discussing them live by automatically screen sharing the chosen file.
• Automatically get link previews and collaboration shortcuts in Zoom Team Chat.

Get started with the apps

• Install the Microsoft 365 for Zoom app from the Zoom App Marketplace. Sign in with your Microsoft and Zoom credentials.
• Install the Google Drive for Zoom app and connect your Google account to start accessing and sharing Drive files in your meetings.

In your next Zoom Meeting, instead of pasting a Google Doc link into chat, just open the file directly from the Google Drive for Zoom app to seamlessly start a screen-shared collaboration session. With access to the open file, everyone can edit, leave comments, and resolve feedback in real time. The file stays accessible to meeting participants after the call ends, with the full conversation around it captured in one place.

No more “Can you send the link?” or “Which version are we using?” Your work is exactly where it needs to be—visible, collaborative, and up to date.

The future of work isn’t about picking one platform over another. It’s about connecting the ones you already use so you can focus on the work that matters. Whether you rely on Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or both, Zoom’s integrations help you collaborate with fewer interruptions and more impact. Zoom Workplace is your flexible, open platform that meets you where you are—along with the tools that are most important to you.
