How do Zoom Apps work? Can you share more about what the experience of using Zoom Apps is like?
You can browse the list of available Zoom Apps and add the ones you want from within Zoom Meetings, the Zoom desktop client, and the Zoom App Marketplace. Access your favorite third-party apps directly within Zoom Meetings, with the ability to expand or collapse your apps in meetings so you have more room to collaborate. You also have the ability to open multiple apps and switch between them, as well as share apps with others.
Why would I want to use Zoom Apps? What kinds of things can I do with Zoom Apps?
Zoom Apps makes meetings more collaborative, productive, and fun. There are over 50 Zoom Apps available now, ranging from enterprise to consumer use cases — including whiteboarding, project management, note-taking, and video games, with more in development and available soon. Additionally, you can create unique, fun moments with apps for games, icebreakers, virtual backgrounds, or wellness.
Where can I download Zoom Apps? How do I access Zoom Apps? How do I enable the apps?
To add Zoom Apps, you can either open Zoom desktop client and click the Zoom Apps icon from within your Zoom meeting, or you can go to the Zoom App Marketplace to authorize Zoom Apps you’d like to use.
Will Zoom Apps need to be approved by my company to use?
That depends on what Zoom settings your company’s IT administrator has enabled. Zoom Apps will follow the same admin approvals as other Marketplace apps. Admins and owners may have to pre-approve the use of Zoom Apps, in which case users on those accounts will not have access to Zoom Apps until admin approval.
