Contact Center & CCaaS Voice & Phone AI
Zoom's omnichannel contact center with Virtual Agent self-service AI, Expert Assist agent guidance, and published per-agent pricing.
Zoom Contact Center is Zoom's omnichannel cloud contact center, built into the same client agents already use for meetings and team chat. It routes voice, video, web chat, SMS, email, and social conversations from a drag and drop flow builder, and layers AI throughout: Zoom Virtual Agent handles self service on chat and voice channels, AI Expert Assist surfaces knowledge and next steps for live agents, and workforce engagement tools cover forecasting, scheduling, and quality management.
Zoom was founded in 2011 by former Cisco engineer Eric Yuan and entered this market in February 2022, when Zoom Contact Center went live in the US and Canada. Three months later it acquired conversational AI startup Solvvy, whose technology became Zoom Virtual Agent in early 2023. The bet has paid off: Zoom reported crossing 100 million dollars in annual contact center revenue in 2026, and at Enterprise Connect 2026 it unveiled Virtual Agent 3.0, a prompt driven Agent Architect, and an Agent Performance Suite for testing AI agents before deployment. Named customers include Vensure, AVI-SPL, Topaz Services, and Oxfordshire County Council.
Pricing is refreshingly public by contact center standards. Zoom sells three tiers, Essentials, Premium, and Elite, with 2026 pricing reported at 69, 99, and 149 dollars per agent per month respectively. AI Companion summaries come with every tier, but AI Expert Assist requires Elite, and Zoom Virtual Agent is a separately quoted add on. Telephony minutes and toll free numbers are metered on top, so budget beyond the sticker price.
Choose Zoom Contact Center if your company already runs on Zoom and wants contact center, phone, and meetings under one roof, or if video support matters, since few rivals handle escalation from chat to video as smoothly. It suits mid market teams modernizing from legacy on premises systems. Skip it if you need a deep standalone helpdesk with ticketing built in, or the decades of niche routing features that Genesys and NICE veterans expect.
