Zoom is an application that almost everyone knows today. And it has a large number of very interesting extensions. We present very useful.
Almost all of us are much more familiar with Zoom now than we were before a certain pandemic, which forced many people to work from home and keep in touch with their colleagues and loved ones remotely. Zoom is so popular today that it has a whole bunch of more or less useful extensions for a variety of needs. No matter how you use the platform, some of the applications listed below can help you with your daily work.
Mmm
Mmhmm (freemium) slides in between your webcam and Zoom to add a lot of options to your video stream: you can show slides while staying on screen, access over 100 background images, be on screen with multiple people at the same time, and even record video to present later. If you spend time on Zoom sharing your screen and want more options for how people see you, this is perfect.
Read
The mission of Read (free subscription) is to “make your meetings feel better,”which means meetings must run as scheduled or provide a full transcript at the end. In terms of Zoom integration, Read uses artificial intelligence to summarize meetings, adds various augmented reality effects, and can even measure participants’ attention.
Fun
Funtivity (free subscription) adds fun to your Zoom meetings. You have over 25 different activities including bingo, quizzes, charades and other quests. Everything is very nice and well integrated into the main Zoom interface. Ideal for formal settings such as with friends or family.
Sesh
Sesh (freemium) wants to bring the concept of a meeting agenda into the modern era of video calls, using visual cues and audio cues to make sure you spend enough time on each item. This makes it easy to create and stick to agendas, and the app offers a range of extras, such as the ability to set quick polls or icebreakers.
Corn
Grain (freemium) wants to make sure you don’t forget anything that was said after the meeting is over. Grain records and then transcribes everything and gives you the tools to save and annotate snippets for later so you can focus on what’s going on without having to worry about constantly taking notes. Anything you’ve recorded can be easily shared with members and easily found with a search.
Crisp
Krisp (free version) adds noise canceling features so everyone can hear you clearly thanks to artificial intelligence. Zoom already has something similar, but Krisp’s efficiency makes it very useful and enjoyable.
Survey Monkey
SurveyMonkey (free subscription) gives you everything you need to survey participants, whether it’s your lunch menu or your product design direction. One of the disadvantages of virtual meetings is that it’s easy to be passive and miss what’s going on. With SurveyMonkey’s seamless integration, interactivity and participation are back on the table.
Velo
Welo (freemium) isn’t for everyone, but it should appeal to those who want to deviate from the standard Zoom display with these video rectangles. It is possible to place participants in digital spaces, be it a park or an open space, so that the experience is truly different.
Miro
Miro (free version) is probably the most advanced collaboration board you can use with Zoom. If you need a place to work together during a meeting, you’ll have everything you need. All this is easily integrated into Zoom. Tables can contain text, shapes, images, and more. Even interactive elements like polls.
Leg-split
Twine (the free version) can improve one particular aspect of your Zoom experience: breakout rooms. With this add-on, you can define different types of rooms – even based on custom tags or member criteria – you can automatically switch a person from one room to another after a certain amount of time, and you have access to some handy features like text prompts for managed conversations.
