Upwork video meetings (Part 1 of 2)

In this article, you’ll learn how Upwork's new Uma-powered video meeting feature enables seamless in-platform collaboration within Upwork Messages. Scheduling, starting, or joining a meeting is easy. You can adjust audio and video settings before joining. When AI is enabled, you’ll get a meeting recap, which includes a recording with highlight reels and an AI-generated summary and action items. You’ll be able to access these later from your messages. You can turn off AI recording and transcription if you prefer. Note that data rates from your phone or internet carrier may apply to meetings. - AI Summary

Upwork has introduced a new video meeting feature powered by Uma, Upwork’s Mindful AI, directly within the Upwork Messages platform. This feature is being gradually rolled out and is not available to everyone yet. (Our Zoom meeting integration is still available in Upwork Messages.)
