Take your meetings to the next level with Zoom-curated Essential Apps

When you’re managing a growing business, your to-do list never stops growing. Meetings are an essential tool for chipping away that list, and making the most of that time is critical if you want to push your business forward. But other in-meeting tasks like note-taking, navigating and using other applications, and managing other aspects of the meeting experience can distract you from communicating and collaborating.

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! To help you enhance communication, create engaging experiences, and streamline workflows, we’re adding a new offering to our Zoom One online paid plans — Zoom-curated Essential Apps!

Zoom-curated Essential Apps: What are they?

Zoom Apps allows you to access and launch your favorite tools and apps directly within Zoom Meetings and other products. While many of the apps that are available on Zoom’s App Marketplace are free, there are also premium versions, which require purchase.

Essential Apps give you access to premium versions of a selection of apps as part of your Zoom One Pro, Business, and Business Plus plan. These apps help you automate manual tasks like note-taking, help you easily access other software applications, and create more engaging experiences during your meetings. So rather than consuming your meetings with furiously typing notes to keep up with the conversation or constantly managing the meeting experience, you can focus on communicating, collaborating, and getting more done!

Get started in just a few clicks — essential apps are already available and ready to use with your Zoom account. Simply update to the latest version of Zoom to get access. And the best part? Essential Apps are free for one year with Zoom One Pro, Business, or Business Plus plans! Terms apply.

Here’s a sneak peek at the essential apps you’ll have access to as part of your new or upgraded Zoom One plan.
