One platform for all the ways you work

Collaboration tools are software applications designed to help people work together, talk to each other, and get things done as a team, no matter where they’re located. With so many people working digitally across distributed teams and workplaces, collaboration tools are especially useful for streamlining communication and workflows.

There are various types of collaboration tools for different purposes. Communication tools, such as video conferencing, VoIP phone systems, and instant messaging platforms, allow team members to connect in real time, breaking down geographical barriers. Productivity tools offer functionalities for idea generation and visual collaboration, content creation, and project management, helping to keep everyone on the same page. Additionally, hybrid workplace technology connects in-person and remote workers more effectively, further streamlining collaboration and allowing teams to get the most out of their digital ecosystem.

You and your team can use various collaboration tools throughout your daily workflows to streamline communication and keep everyone informed. For example, you might start the day with a Zoom Meeting for a virtual stand-up meeting with your team, then switch to Team Chat instant messaging for quick questions and real-time discussions throughout the day. Team members might open a productivity tool like Docs to view a shared project tracker, adjust the status of tasks they’re working on, and @mention stakeholders in the doc about important updates. At the end of the day, you might use Zoom Clips to send a video message to team members with an update on progress made on an important project. This asynchronous form of communication keeps everyone informed without requiring everyone to be together in a meeting.

These different collaboration tools support the way teams communicate and work together across distributed workplaces and geographical locations. With Zoom Workplace, teamwork is easier and more effective because all of your collaboration tools work together seamlessly in one platform.
