Zoom App Arrives on Quest, Allowing You to Attend Work Meetings as Your Avatar

Whoa, so Meta’s decided to drop a big ol’ Zoom app right into the Horizon Store. It’s like, hey, you can now throw on your Quest avatar and dive into these online meetings. Wild, right?

Okay, but not totally groundbreaking. Remember when back in 2021 they already kinda merged Zoom with Horizon Workrooms? Those were more about hanging out in VR face-to-face, like pulling webcam folks into this funky virtual space.

But now, if you’re just craving that Zoom fix, nothing else, there’s a standalone app up for grabs — freebie alert! Meta’s calling it a “seamless extension.” Fancy words, huh? Basically, if you’ve touched Zoom on your phone or computer, you’ll get it here too.

And the Zoom app? It’s like, “Hey, join meetings as your Horizon Worlds avatar.” But don’t think you’re getting some sci-fi immersive meeting room. Nah, it’s more like you’re a 2D video character on screen, kinda like waving hello from a cartoon world.

But here’s the kicker: Do you really wanna hop into a meeting looking like an animated character? I mean, they’re cute and all, but still kind of cartoonish. And Apple’s been showing off their snazzy Persona avatars, trying to outclass everyone. They slipped their Zoom app onto the Vision Pro since forever ago, back in February 2024.

But hey, free’s free, right? If you’re gonna give it a whirl, just grab that Zoom Workplace thingy from the Horizon Store, sign in like you’re on your phone or laptop, and boom, you’re in the game. Happy meeting!
