hello everyone and welcome back to the Keep productive youtube channel today's video is
all about the brand new zoom updates that have become available through their recent conference
zoomtopia now in today's video we're going to overview what are zaps we're also going to talk
about the new on zoom platform which they are launching as well and also a few of the specific
integrations that are working with zaps so folks good to be back with you if you're not subscribed
yet please do subscribe it feels like when i went away just for two days they literally released
everything and anything in the spear and of course uh zoom has new features so this new tool
is basically a third-party extension allowing you to add apps inside of your zoom account it's as
simple as that in the past they have had abilities where you can connect up apps outside but they've
been sort of marginal and not necessarily focused on the whole working environment
inside of these new zoom zaps i can't get over the name you can basically go ahead and open the apps
within your zoom feed so for example when you're talking to a group of people you'll pop the apps
area or zaps area open and you'll be able to get started for example with the pitch one which is a
presentation platform which is coming soon they basically allowed you to see all of your recent
documents that you've gotten started but the interesting tool is you can open this up in a
separate window and start working on them now how does this make this different to opening
up another window instead of inside of chrome or something like that well i guess you're sort
of focusing on that one application and you're automatically sharing with your colleagues as well
so in terms of collaboration efforts it does make it a little bit easier to see that one
document all of your team are working on now just looking at the list of apps they actually
do have a pretty extensive list for launch and they pretty much got video guys on how they
all work i've seen some famous faces like asana coder trello and also the likes of dropbox miro
and slack superhuman even got one there's a few on this list um we'll make sure to include them
you pretty much get anything from emailing to lead generation to uh regular team communication where
you've shared your files so from what i've read it doesn't seem like there's any constraints about
using these you don't have to have a specific account but for example if you did uh have access
to say slack then obviously you would have to have a zoom account and a slack account connected up
naturally so let's take a example zap this is the one that they've connected with asana and you can
see from the video that they actually demonstrate that like how you can connect the account up with
zoom already and essentially you can plan a meeting and then when you get into the meeting
you can have a connected task and start adding subtasks to that task so a very interesting take
on how you can embed these applications so this is another one of confluence being able to use it
in real time to start writing out a piece of work and that's something that is becoming incredibly
popular working on live zoom calls whilst doing live collaborative documents now we find this
really interesting it feels like they're trying to keep you more inside of the zoom application
instead of having to exit and come out and back into the application uh when you've got a certain
meeting they're trying to sort of blend whole work environment which is sort of replicatory of
the office but also not as well at the same time because you don't want to be in meetings all day
so they've also launched this new experience called on zoom and apparently it's a marketplace
for immersive experiences it looks pretty interesting um basically you as a creator
could set up these regular sessions like there's people doing yoga sessions cookery instructions
clay classes from the video and basically you would host that session people can come in and
join um for obviously a set fee or just for free depending on how much you charge but as a on
onlooker someone looking on you could join these classes and sort of get working i really like
the idea um it feels like sort of like i guess like teachable or like thinkific but not course
specific but like live specific so i guess that could be very helpful for people looking for live
interaction and support so it's really interesting because they also released this video on their
youtube channel about re-entering the office and i thought it was quite cool the way that they had
to set up so obviously people will start returning to the office as things gets easier and naturally
they want to still be able to relevant in the office so they have like this video of a someone
a receptionist working from home but being like remote and then somebody be able to check their
temperature um and sort of automating uh the whole process and then being able to
have these dashboards on the wall would like for example uh meeting rooms and how they're filled so
zoom is trying to be this sort of all-encompassing platform now and it's quite interesting to see i
think in the next few years we should see some interesting sort of spikes from zoom as they
take on applications um a lot like what google are doing with workspace and a lot like like uh what
slack are doing as well trying to dominate the market in terms of being an immersive experience
and i think zoom are really well placed for that at the moment so folks hopefully you found this
roundup useful i'll include a few links below to all the other zooms and zaps and things beginning
with z thank you very much folks and i'll talk to you all very soon please do make sure you
subscribe and i just want to say a big thank you to august bradley who recently helped me
with this setup uh it's definitely looking a lot better and hopefully you're enjoying it at
home a big thank you to august and hopefully um we'll make some really strong videos using this
setup anyway folks thank you so much and i'll talk to you all very soon cheerio you
