About the Zoom Integration and "Time in Calls"
Zoom is part of a suite of Collaboration tools that you can integrate directly with in Produce8 to gain a deeper understanding of the amount of time you spend in calls, and meetings.
The Produce8 Browser Extension and Desktop Extension allow you to connect to Zoom and follow the number and duration of your interactions/views of Zoom. The direct integration with Zoom provides two additional data points:
- Time in Calls is the amount of time in hours and minutes that you spend on call events in the collaboration tools that Produce8 integrates with. This calculation will not show up on your dashboard if the total duration for all apps is less than 30 mins for a given day. This metric is based on your local timezone.
- Status - allows other members of a Shared Workspace to see your current status in Zoom.

Using Zoom "Time In Calls" and "Status" Data
Time in Calls "Daily Insight"
With our collaboration app direct integrations (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Slack), we've introduced a metric, Time In Calls. Your time in Zoom calls will be included in the Time In Calls metric on your Produce8 Homepage.
As with the other Personal Insights, you can use the date picker to view previous days and/or toggle between Daily and Weekly totals.
Trends Over Time
There are two ways to view you Zoom call patterns over time:
- Click the Time In Calls tile on your Personal Insights dashboard on your homepage in the Produce8 web app.
- You can also see your Zoom usage trends by selecting Zoom on your Tops Apps list. Use the dropdown on the right to toggle between Number of Calls, Total Time in Calls, and Avg Time Per Call.
Set a Goal for Time In Calls
You can set a Goal to target a maximum or minimum time in calls per day or week. For more details on setting Goals, click here.
Zoom "Live Status"
