Right, let’s dive into this Meta thing. So, here’s the scoop: Meta just tossed a Zoom app into the Horizon Store, and now your Quest avatar can crash your online meetings. Wild, huh?
But, not the first rodeo for Quest folks jumping into Zoom-land in VR. Back in ’21, Zoom cozied up to Horizon Workrooms. It was all about those face-to-face vibes—VR style. Like, you could throw webcam folks in there too, and bam, immersive space magic.
Now, if you just want Zoom and nothing else—none of that extra fluff—there’s a standalone app. Freebie alert! Meta’s shouting about it being this “seamless extension” of the Zoom Workplace app you’re probably already glued to on your phone or desktop. Nice try, Meta.
Anyway, hold up. Let’s dive into this image thing. I know, kind of random, but there’s this snapshot—Zoom Communications did it. A pic says a thousand words or whatever.
Okay, back on track. This neat Zoom app lets you jump into meetings as your Horizon Worlds avatar. But hey, don’t get too comfy—you’re still in 2D video land, whether peeps use VR or the ol’ webcam.
Now, the real kicker—do you even want to join meetings as a Meta avatar? They’ve gotten better over the years, sure. But still kinda cartoony. Apple’s Personas on Vision OS 26? Now those are slick. And Vision Pro had its own Persona-zoom thing since Feb 2024.
But hey, it’s free! If you’re in, grab the Zoom Workplace app from Horizon Store, use your regular profile, and get to it. Chat away, people.
