Zoom is taking a bold step into the virtual realm with its new standalone app for Meta Quest headsets.
Imagine joining or hosting meetings not just with your voice or video, but as your very own Meta Avatar! This app allows users to dive into virtual reality meetings, adding a delightful twist to the traditional video call experience.
Previously, Zoom's presence in the VR space was limited to Meta's Horizon Workspaces app, and only those with a Zoom subscription could host meetings. However, this new app is a game-changer. It works with any Zoom license, whether free or paid, and supports a range of Meta headsets, including the Quest 3, Quest 3S, Quest Pro, and Quest 2.

Zoom's venture into VR aligns with its broader vision of integrating AI avatars into meetings. Last year, Vision Pro users could join meetings using their digital personas, and now, Zoom is extending this capability to Meta Quest users. This means you can attend a meeting as your avatar, while still seeing other participants on their respective devices, be it desktop, mobile, or web app.
One of the coolest features is the passthrough mode, which lets you see parts of your real-life environment while wearing the headset. This way, you can stay connected to the real world while fully immersed in a virtual meeting. So, whether you're brainstorming with colleagues or catching up with friends, Zoom's new app ensures your meetings are more engaging than ever.
