Whoa, so Meta just decided to shake things up by tossing Zoom into their Horizon Store. Yeah, now you can jump into Zoom meetings like, as your Quest avatar. I mean, not the first rodeo for Quest users. Back in 2021, they cooked up a Zoom thingy inside Horizon Workrooms. But that was more about face-to-face kinda VR meetings, ya know? They even let webcam folks pop into your space, making it all immersive.
Anyway — wait, where was I? Oh yeah, now they’ve dropped a standalone Zoom app. Totally free! Meta’s all like, “Hey, this is just an add-on to your Zoom Workplace app you’re cozy with on your phone or whatever.”
So, imagine this — your Horizon Worlds avatar waltzing into a Zoom meeting. Kinda weirdly awesome, right? But nope, no immersive VR vibe like in Workrooms. Just your avatar on a 2D screen for others, whether they’re in VR or just chilling with a webcam.
And, real talk, do you even want to meet as your avatar? They’ve improved, sure, but come on, they’re still cartoonish. Apple’s got their new super-slick Persona avatars on Vision OS 26, making these look like a 90s cartoon. Not to diss them too much, though.
But hey, free is free. Wanna try it? Just grab the Zoom Workplace app from the Horizon Store, log in, and bam, you’re off chatting in no time. Just like that.
