When you manage a growing business, the list of tasks to do constantly grows. Meetings are then the essential tool to cross a few items off that list, and you absolutely must make the most of them if you want your business to move forward. However, certain meeting tasks, such as taking notes, viewing and using other applications, and managing all other aspects of a meeting experience, can distract you from the communication and collaboration you want.
Don’t worry, we take care of everything. To help you communicate better, create engaging experiences, and simplify workflows, we’re adding a new offering to our Zoom One online paid plans: Essential Apps, curated by Zoom.
What is it about ?
Zoom Apps lets you launch and access your favorite apps and tools directly in Zoom Meetings and other products. For the most part, the applications offered on the Zoom application platform are free, but there are paid premium versions.
The Essential Apps section gives you access to premium versions of a selection of apps as part of your Zoom One Pro, Business, or Business Plus plan. These apps allow you to automate manual tasks like note-taking, easily access other software applications, and create more engaging experiences during your meetings. So instead of wasting time feverishly trying to grasp the entire conversation or constantly managing the meeting experience, you could focus on communication and collaboration, and be more effective as a result!
To get started, it only takes a few clicks, because the Essential Apps are already available and ready to use in your Zoom account. Just update Zoom to the latest version to have access to them. And the icing on the cake? Essential Apps are free for one year with Zoom One Pro, Business and Business Plus plans! Subject to applicable conditions.
Here’s a look at the Essential Apps you’ll have access to with your new or upgraded Zoom One plan.
