\u200b<\/span>Zoom<\/a> users will soon be able to enjoy in-meeting apps<\/a> from the likes of Trello, Dropbox<\/a>, Slack, and many other collaborative tools.<\/p>\n

The video-conferencing<\/a> platform has announced the launch of \u2018Zapps\u2019 \u2013\u00a0apps made just for Zoom which will power workflows during and in between meetings.<\/p>\n

According to Zoom, Zapps was designed to provide developers with a fast and flexible web view canvas to create apps, viral distribution, as well as IT deployment and manageability.<\/p>\n

So far, 36 platforms have announced demos of their \u2018Zapps\u2019, including popular collaborative tools such as Trello<\/a>, Docket, and Slack<\/a>, as well as Dropbox and Salesforce<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Zapps are to become generally available by the end of the year and will be open to developers soon after.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made during Zoom\u2019s virtual conference Zoomtopia 2020, where the company also revealed that it would be launching an online event platform for Zoom users to create and host free, paid, and charity\u00a0events. Called OnZoom, the new platform will become available internationally from 2021. It is currently available as a public beta for US users.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Zoom\u00a0has added new enhancements to its SDKs, aiming to help developers and companies enrich their own custom video-based applications with Zoom\u2019s platform. The feature is now available on Android, iOS, and web.<\/p>\n

The company also developed new functionalities for its core unified communications platform, such as enhanced voice command options and a suite of whiteboarding enhancements.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Zoom said that it will begin rolling out Phase 1 of 4 of its end-to-end encryption<\/a> (E2EE) offering, almost four months after first committing to the technology, which will first be available as a technical preview from next week.<\/p>\n

Zoom users, regardless of whether they pay for the platform or not, will be able to host up to 200 participants in an E2EE meeting on Zoom, providing increased privacy and security for your Zoom sessions.<\/p>\n

Speaking at Zoomtopia 2020, CEO Eric S. Yuan said that the \u201cone thing we\u2019ve learned in this challenging time is that remote work does work\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe future will bring a hybrid of the best of in-person and virtual communications. The announcements we make today at Zoomtopia demonstrate that Zoom is built for this moment and beyond. We have the platform to support what the world needs \u2013\u00a0today, tomorrow, and well into the future,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
