# The Zoom Assistant

The Zoom Assistant is a lightweight widget that runs on a user's desktop as an extension of the Zoom Workplace app, offering Zoom Phone Pro and Licensed users a consolidated phone interface.

With docking capabilities, the Zoom Assistant remains hidden when not in use, and extends when hovered over with a cursor or when there's an active call. This compact design grants users full use of their desktop space while working, allowing them to minimize the Zoom Assistant panel when it's not in use.

With this always-available tool, users can simplify their workflows and processes in conjunction with virtually any other application, granting flexibility and ease of use. Core features of the Zoom Assistant include:
