Getting started with Zoom Sheets is straightforward, and there are several ways to jump in depending on how you prefer to work. All your sheets are stored in
Zoom Hub alongside your other Zoom assets — meeting summaries, recordings, docs, and whiteboards — so everything stays organized in one place.
Start from a blank sheet
Open the Zoom Workplace desktop or mobile app and navigate to Zoom Hub. From there, select the option to create a new Zoom Sheet. You'll start with a clean canvas where you can begin entering data manually, paste content from another source, or — better yet — use AI features to help you build out the structure. Describe the kind of spreadsheet you need in plain language, and AI features will generate columns, headers, and even sample data to get you going.
Create a sheet from a meeting
This is where Zoom Sheets truly shines. After a Zoom Meeting, you can pull in meeting summaries, transcripts, and action items directly into a new sheet. AI features will parse the conversation and organize it into structured rows and columns — turning a free-flowing discussion into trackable, sortable data. Imagine finishing a client call and having a neatly organized spreadsheet of action items, owners, and deadlines waiting for you moments later.
Import existing data
Already have data in another spreadsheet or file? You can import .xlsx and .csv files directly into Zoom Sheets. Once your data is in, smart data ingestion takes over — cleaning up inconsistencies, standardizing formats, and getting everything into shape with just one click. No more spending the first 30 minutes of your analysis just tidying up the data.
Use AI to generate a sheet from scratch
From the Hub homepage, you can use the AI create sheets entry point to describe what you need in natural language. Tell AI features something like "create a project tracker with columns for task name, owner, status, priority, and due date," and it will build the sheet for you. You can also select existing files in Hub and ask AI features to extract and organize data from them into a new sheet.
