Zoom revamps apps with new features as companies move past WFH policies

As companies move past work-from-home policies and try hybrid workspaces, Zoom is highlighting some apps with updates and features to improve collaboration and creativity in meetings.

The Collaborate mode on Zoom makes screen-sharing more interactive. For example, hosts can start collaborative experiences for any app during all-hands meetings, brainstorming sessions, and more. These are just a few examples of Collaborate Mode :

for apps.

Miro is an online whiteboard in Zoom that let meeting participants seamlessly launch a collaborative workspace for everyone to interact, co-create, and capture ideas in real-time.

Coda app for Zoom lets your teammates create with you by keeping meeting attendees on the same page and letting their voices be heard without opening another tab.

Now, if you’re tired of working, #AskAway allows meeting participants to show off what they know about one another or have fun guessing. Every round places a new player on the hot seat, and others have to guess who that person will be.

Zoom is also promoting another important feature of the app called Breakout Rooms, in which participants can break into smaller groups for focused discussions or tightknit collaboration. This function can also be accessed through a variety of apps, according to the videoconference service.

Welo, for example, recreates a collaborative space. Participants can see everyone and move between conversations.

twine for Zoom, on the other hand, is an all-in-one Breakout Room management app that lets hosts create rooms based on custom rules, rotate between timed and back-to-back breakouts, chat across rooms, and more.

Zoom Apps are available inside the app itself or on its App Marketplace here.
