You can now make your meetings more collaborative, engaging, and lively with third-party apps integrated within Zoom. For instance, you can now integrate Kahoot! This will allow for interactive learning games and presentations within your Zoom meeting. There’s no need for a shared screen or separate device; everything is in the Zoom meeting. You can also use Scribble Together, an instant whiteboard app. You can brainstorm with attendees, and mark up an image or PDF. You can also use your preferred tablet to connect and use Scribble Together with an annotation surface.

There are more apps available to help you get more work done within the Zoom platform. Just click the new Apps option shown at the bottom of the Zoom Meeting window to view and download additional apps. All attendees will have the ability to participate, access, and work in the same app inside the meeting, which helps facilitate engagement and collaboration.

To take advantage of the new Zoom apps integration, you must be running the latest version of the Zoom client (currently 5.8.x). To check your current version and/or install the latest version, please review the following knowledge base article: Check and Install Updates for Zoom Desktop Client.
