Zoom Apps<\/a> brings extensible functionality from Zoom or 3rd party developers directly into your meetings. Participants can view Zoom App content with a screen share or be invited to install and collaborate in the app directly.<\/p>\n

Browsing Available Apps<\/h2>\n

Apps can be found both within and outside of meetings; the steps below show how to find an app outside of a meeting:<\/p>\n

  1. After logging in to the Zoom app<\/a>, click the “Apps” button in the toolbar. A list of your apps will appear.
