Read receipts for Zoom Team Chat, finally
Know who read it. Prove it to the auditor.
Zoom Team Chat has no read receipts. ReadStamp posts your announcement or policy with an Acknowledge button, DMs everyone who has not confirmed, and exports a timestamped PDF of who did, and when.

Audit report · PDF
Company, title, content hash, full acknowledgment log, report hash.
Slack has a whole category for this. Zoom Team Chat had nothing.
Policy acknowledgment inside chat is how Slack teams pass SOC 2 and HIPAA audits. ReadStamp brings it to Zoom Workplace.
One button for them. One PDF for the auditor.
Nobody can miss it, nobody has to be chased
The card goes to the channel with a live "8 of 23 confirmed" counter, and to every recipient by DM so it is not lost in a busy channel. Reminders go only to people who have not confirmed: the day before the due date, on the day, then every two days.

2 reminded this morning · due Friday
Evidence an auditor accepts
Every acknowledgment stores who, when (UTC), the confirmation wording and a SHA-256 hash of the exact version they confirmed. Rows are append-only; an admin void is logged, never deleted. Export CSV, or a PDF with its own report hash.

How it works
Installed once by your admin. First policy out in two minutes.
Your Zoom admin installs ReadStamp account-wide from the Marketplace and subscribes. The bot DMs a welcome card. Type /announce in any channel for a quick notice, or use the dashboard composer for a long policy with a document link, selected people and a due date.
- 01 Install from the Zoom App Marketplace and subscribe
- 02 Post with
/announceor the dashboard composer - 03 People press Acknowledge; the counter updates; reminders chase the rest
- 04 Export the CSV or the audit PDF when the auditor asks
Slash commands
Nothing to learn beyond a slash
The daily path never leaves chat. The bot reads only what people type into its own form and buttons. It never reads channel messages, and it is not a read receipt for ordinary chat: only explicit announcements are tracked.
/announcePost an announcement people must acknowledge. Title, message, document link, due date, confirmation type and audience, in one card.

One plan. $39 a month.
Per Zoom account, not per user. A compliance lead can expense it without a procurement process, and there is no tier logic to explain.

Built for the three people who get asked "did everyone read it?"
The compliance lead needs timestamped evidence for SOC 2, HIPAA or ISO 27001. The HR lead needs to know who has not read the handbook change without chasing by email. The ops manager needs to see that the safety notice reached every clinic, store or crew.
Compliance or security lead
One-click PDF with content hashes and a full log. Annual re-attestation built in.
HR or People lead
Automatic reminders. New hires get the open policies the day they join.
Ops manager
Live "12 of 40 confirmed" in the channel, and a Remind now button.
Questions
Does Zoom Team Chat have read receipts?+
No. Zoom shows no per-person read status for messages, and users have asked for it in the Zoom Community since 2024. ReadStamp adds explicit read confirmation for announcements and policies: a button people press, with the time recorded.
Is this like Memo or Sprinto for Slack?+
Yes, for Zoom. Memo – Confirm Read targets HR policies and security notices in Slack; compliance platforms run policy acknowledgment in Slack too. None of them run in Zoom Team Chat. ReadStamp does, and it is the only such app on the Zoom Marketplace as of November 2026.
Will an auditor accept this?+
SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001 auditors ask for evidence that employees acknowledged policies. The PDF carries the company, the policy title and version hash, a content snapshot, the acknowledgment log with UTC timestamps and the wording each person agreed to, and a report hash. Acknowledgments are append-only. It is an attestation record, not an e-signature.
Does everyone need to install the bot?+
No. Your Zoom admin installs ReadStamp once for the whole account and the bot can message any user in it. Recipients only ever press one button.
Where do the policies live?+
Wherever they live today: Google Drive, SharePoint, Zoom Docs or a PDF URL. ReadStamp links to the document and, if you turn it on, logs when each person opened it and can require the open before the Acknowledge button works.
What happens when a policy changes?+
Editing creates a new version with a new content hash. You choose minor (keep acknowledgments) or material (everyone must re-acknowledge). The audit trail shows which version each person confirmed. Annual re-acknowledgment is a checkbox.
Can we pay through the Zoom Marketplace?+
Billing runs through Stripe Checkout and the Stripe customer portal: card on file, invoices, cancel any time. The install flow ends at checkout; nothing can be sent until the subscription is active.
