Join Work Meetings as Your Avatar with ‘Zoom’ on Quest

Okay, so imagine this: Meta’s just dropped a new app bomb — Zoom is now live in the Horizon Store. That means you can jump into meetings as your Quest avatar, and it’s kinda wild.

A bit of context here: Back in the day, like 2021-ish, Quest folks could already hop onto Zoom calls through Horizon Workrooms. But let’s be real, that was mostly for those VR face-to-face meetups. You know, adding webcam folks into VR spaces and all that jazz.

Fast forward, and now it’s like, hey, if Zoom’s all you’re after, there’s a standalone app — no strings attached. Meta calls it a “seamless extension” of that Zoom Workplace vibe you’ve got going on your phone or desktop. Sounds fancy, right? Picture like a simple download and boom — Zoom’s on your Quest.

Oh, quick visual moment. Imagine a 2D video of your Horizon Worlds avatar popping up in meetings. Not like full-on immersive like Workrooms, more like a sneak peek into the world of your VR avatar. And yeah, it works whether your buddies are riding the VR wave or just chilling with a regular webcam.

But here’s the kicker: Do you actually wanna be seen in meetings as your Meta avatar? Let’s be honest, they’ve come a long way — but still kinda have that cartoon vibe. Especially compared to Apple’s new Persona avatars. Oh, fun fact — Vision Pro’s Zoom app has been doing its thing since early 2024.

Anyway, free stuff! Download the Zoom Workplace app from the Horizon Store, log in like you do on mobile or desktop, and start the chatter. Simple, kinda like ordering pizza online — but, you know, virtual.
