Zoom + Notion Split View on iPad: A Practical Guide

You can run Zoom and Notion side by side on iPad using Split View, which lets you take structured notes, update project pages, or reference meeting agendas without ever leaving the call.

Why Zoom and Notion work well together

Most note-taking during video calls happens in a separate app while you mentally toggle between what someone is saying and what you're writing. Putting Zoom and Notion in Split View removes that mental gap — both windows are visible at once, at the same time, on the same screen.

Here are a few workflows where this pairing earns its place:

• Meeting notes with context: Keep the relevant Notion page — a project brief, a client database, a recurring meeting template — open while you're on the call. You can type notes directly into the right place instead of a scratch pad you'll have to sort later.
• Sprint planning and standups: Pull up your team's Notion board or task database while walking through it on a call. When someone says "assign that to me," you can update the page right then.
• One-on-ones and interview calls: Reference your question list or candidate notes in Notion while the conversation happens in Zoom. Nothing gets lost, and you don't have to reconstruct the discussion afterward.

The practical effect is that Notion stops being something you update after a meeting and starts being something you use during it.

How to set it up with Splicon

If you haven't already, Download Splicon free from the App Store — it's what lets you save this specific app pair as a single tappable Home Screen shortcut, so you don't have to rebuild the Split View arrangement every time.

1. Open Splicon and search for Zoom, then Notion. Select them as your pair. Splicon is built around two-app combinations, so this step is straightforward — find each app and confirm the pairing.
2. Choose a split style (equal 50/50 or a weighted split if you want more room for one app), then generate the icon. When it looks right, save it to your Photos library.
3. Open the Shortcuts app and create a new shortcut. Add an "Open App" action, set it to use Split View, and select Zoom and Notion as the two apps. When prompted to choose an icon, pick the image you just saved from Splicon.
4. Add the shortcut to your Home Screen using the shortcut's settings menu. Give it a clean name like "Zoom + Notion" and place it wherever you'll reach for it before a call.

From that point on, one tap opens both apps in Split View with no dragging, no dock hunting, and no rearranging.

A few things worth knowing

Split View works on iPad models that support Stage Manager or the standard multitasking gestures — most modern iPads do. Zoom's iPad app handles Split View well; video and audio continue normally while Notion sits beside it.

If you tend to use different Notion pages for different meeting types, consider making more than one Splicon shortcut. The setup takes about two minutes per pair, and having a dedicated icon for "client calls" versus "internal standups" adds a layer of organization that's hard to get any other way.

The combination isn't complicated. It's just two tools that already fit how meetings actually work, finally placed where you can use both at once.
