There is no end to the number of things you need to do when you manage a growing business. Making the most of your meetings is vital if you want to break down that long list, and if you want your business to grow, making the most of your meetings is essential to getting things done. There are, however, many other in-meeting tasks that may distract you from your focus on communicating and collaborating, such as taking notes, navigating to other applications, and interacting with other aspects of the meeting environment.

We’ve got you covered, so don’t worry! We’ve got you covered! Introducing Zoom-curated Essential Apps, a new service we’re adding to our Zoom One online paid plans in order to assist you in enhancing communication, creating engaging experiences, and enhancing workflows.

Zoom-curated Essential Apps: What are they?

The Zoom Apps tool that we’ve created allows you to easily access and launch your favorite apps and tools directly from Zoom Meetings as well as other Zoom products. In the Zoom App Marketplace there are many apps that can be downloaded for free, but some of them have premium versions, which need to be purchased in order to use them.

Your Zoom One Pro, Business, and Business Plus plan includes access to a selection of premium versions of a variety of apps that you can access as a part of Essential Apps. There are several apps that enable you to automate manual tasks, such as taking notes during meetings, be able to easily access other software programs, and create a more engaging meeting experience through the use of these apps. Then, instead of spending your time furiously typing notes to keep up with the conversation or constantly managing the meeting experience, what you can do is concentrate on communicating, collaborating, and achieving more in your meetings!

With just a few clicks, you will be able to start using Zoom in no time at all with Essential Apps already available and ready to use. You can get access to Zoom by updating to the latest version of the software. There is one more thing I would like to mention. With Zoom One Pro, Business, or Business Plus, you will have access to all Essential Apps for one year. There are some terms and conditions that apply.

This video gives you a sneak peek at the Essential Apps you’ll have access to as part of the Zoom One plan you choose when you upgrade or purchase a new one.
