Earlier today, Zoom sent a press release announcing the official launch of the Zoom App Marketplace. Already, hundreds of Zoom customers worldwide have installed apps and integrations built by our Zoom Developer Community!

In case you aren’t familiar with Zoom, we are a meeting solution company providing our customers an interoperable product portfolio that creates a unified, consistent enterprise experience. Learn more Zoom at our website.

I want to take a moment and say, “Congratulations to my teammates from around the world, whom have put forth months and months of hard work to reach this major milestone!”.

The Zoom App Marketplace Team!

What is the Zoom App Marketplace?

The Zoom App Marketplace brings together apps/integrations built by Zoom and our 3rd Party Developers, making it easy for customers to install software integrations built by developers to extend Zoom’s product portfolio with new functionalities. Apps in Zoom’s marketplace are fully vetted by Zoom for security and user experience.

What is the Zoom Developer Community, and who are Zoom Developers?

Launching the app marketplace is a HUGE achievement for our company, but we did not make this a reality all by ourselves. We were blessed with having some dedicated, early-adopters who put in lots of work developing their apps for publication to the Zoom Marketplace, and thanks to their help, we were able to launch with fifteen (15) production-ready apps!
