@ross I knew this looked familiar
Joel Runyon
@ross Excited to have Woven Calendar for Remote Work be a part of this!

@ross The url works in incognito mode where I guess i am not logged into Zoom, the url does not open in my cognito mode where am already logged into zoom.

@ross — My company's customers (in continuing education) have been begging for a direct integration like this, to the point that we're already doing things with Zoom's web and native SDKs. Is Zoom still adding launch partners for Zapps, or should we be focused on the later-this-year timing when Zapps are opened to all third-party developers?
Ryan Hoover
This is a big deal. I'm curious to see what others build on top of Zoom. Nascent platforms like this can be a great opportunity for early startups to capitalize on. One somewhat recent example: YOLO grew to 10M+ users in less than a month off of SnapKit.

@rrhoover Spot on, thank you. We've designed this with distribution in mind. App Store where people are paying attention, word of mouth, viral and IT deployment.

@ross Ah, that says nothing about devs – assumed it was for marketing emails about consuming Zapps not building them. Thanks

@tommoor That's good feedback! Thank you

@lucidspark @gabevillamizar Thanks Gabe, awesome to work with Lucid and their new whiteboarding app!
Brint Markle
Congrats @ross and team! You've done an absolutely amazing job with this. We at Lucid are honored to be an early launch partner and can't wait to ship our @Lucidspark virtual whiteboarding Zapp in Q4. This will be fun!

Hello hunters, I'm a PMM at MURAL. We're excited to join forces with Zoom to make distributed work more productive, engaging, and fun. More than an online whiteboard, MURAL enables innovation at scale by providing a visual collaboration platform for everything from product strategy and planning to leading immersive workshops using agile and design thinking methodologies. The MURAL Zapp will provide a dead simple way for anyone to participate in visual collaboration from CEOs to customers to your own team. We'd love for you to check out our prototype and share your feedback. https://www.mural.co/blog/zoom-zapp

@tlshields Thanks Thomas. Love how Mural re-thought the whiteboarding experience for Zoom as a Zapp. It let's participants contribute ideas as sticky-notes in the sidebar, and then a facilitator arranges for all to see and discuss. I'll have to use it in a product session soon!
Thomas Shields
@ross It's actually been a long requested feature -- a collaboration only mode -- and our team is excited to be able to build it on Zoom. It's really a perfect match. Congrats on a great launch.

@tlshields nice! Getting Server not found :(

Hello hunters! PMM here from Miro’s Meetings and Workshops Team. Miro is excited to partner with Zoom as an early launch partner for Zapps. What’s Miro? Miro is an online collaborative whiteboard platform where distributed and remote teams meet and co-create as if they were in the same room for brainstorms, huddles, retros, planning, and more. The Miro Zapp will give any meeting host the power to turn a video call into an interactive experience that brings in all the power of our facilitation toolkit and collaboration features. Sign up here to get notified when the Miro Zapp is available: https://miro-survey.typeform.com... and check out our other meetings capabilities here: https://miro.com/blog/introducin...

@lindseymere Great working with the team at Miro to build a Zapp for collaborative whiteboarding!

@ross Absolutely, Zoom and Miro are used in tandem by so many already. Looking forward to enhancing and improving this experience together.

@slidoapp @peter_komornik Slido app in Zoom -- match made in the heaven. Can't wait!

This is really exciting to see in the unbundling <> rebundling world of remote tools. Really excited to have Woven Calendar 2.0 be a launch partner to help make life on Zoom a lot easier. Can't wait for this to be live!

@joelrunyon Thanks Joel, Woven is such a natural fit as a Zapp

@rev @barroncaster Awesome working on you to bring your Transcriptions to Zoom meetings and webinars!
Derek Shanahan
Every so often there's a product that will clearly become an important platform, and Zoom is that product right now. Considering the amount of time folks are spending there, and how many new users are now comfortable "jumping on Zoom", the opportunity the platform presents for new ways to work, pursue wellness and connect becomes endless with Zapps. We're pumped to be adding Studio to the list of early Zapps at launch, and to bring enhanced virtual fitness experiences to communities across the Zoom platform.
Ross Mayfield

@dshan Thanks Derek. Love how Exer is helping professional trainers stay in business using Zoom and your Zapp is a perfect fit. The new events platform On Zoom should be great for your customers too!

@emarky @ross if you open an incognito browser window you can sign up for updates. Looks as though it returns a "page not found" if you're logged in

Thanks @jonbstrong! Incognito did work for me. I also noticed that the link redirected me to this url: https://zoom.us/docs/en-us/zapps... which seems to work even if you are logged in

@ross Oh I didn’t see that email capture, thanks for the heads up Ross. Congrats on this monumental launch 🥳 - really changing the game
Evan Davies
Thanks @ross -- Coda is super excited to team up with Zoom on this! We've been distributed since our inception, and have created a bunch of small experiences inside of docs that help us add engagement to Zoom meetings. We used them so much we turned them into drag-and-drop templates inside of Coda. This platform will really take them to the next level - as Zapps you can tie directly in the meeting context 🔥.

@codaquickstarts @evan_davies2 Thanks Evan, awesome working with you and the Coda team on a Zapp, it's a great fit.

This is a fantastic way to extend the Zoom in-meeting experience! And we are super excited that LoomieLive is part of the Zapps launch 🙌🏼 Accessing avatars and characters right inside the Zoom interface opens a whole new 3D canvas. Working with your team has been great and we look forward to bringing more options for fun and privacy to the next video call. Congrats @ross and the Zoom team!

@naureenanwar Helping people pronounce names in Zoom meetings sounds like a great fit for a Zapp. Definitely sign up for our mailing list Naureen.

This is a game changer for Zoom and video conferencing as a whole. I can picture this turning Zoom into a similar slack-esk app integration environment for video calls.
