Zoom quietly made its way to the Apple TV 4K, fulfilling the promise made by Apple to bring video conferencing apps to its TVOS 17. The "Zoom - for Home TV" app utilizes the Continuity Camera feature to turn an iPhone or iPad into the camera for video conferencing on the Apple TV.
This app allows users to start or join meetings with just one click, leveraging the HD video and audio quality for crystal clear communications. Additionally, it provides calendar integration to keep users on schedule, the ability to view in-meeting chat, and easily invite friends or colleagues via phone, email, or Zoom contacts.
The app also promotes connectivity by facilitating meetings with people on other devices, such as Windows or Mac computers, mobile phones and tablets, Zoom Rooms, traditional conference room systems, and telephones. Furthermore, it provides the functionality to be assigned to a breakout room, adding a sense of versatility to the meeting experience.
The arrival of Zoom on Apple TV 4K adds another dimension to the utility of the device, opening up new possibilities for conducting meetings and connecting with others in a more immersive and accessible manner. The quiet release of the app without any formal announcement by Zoom has left the tech community intrigued, making it a noteworthy addition to the Apple TV platform.
Users interested in leveraging this new app can download "Zoom - for Home TV" for free from the Apple TV App Store, requiring only a Zoom account to get started. With Zoom making its mark on the Apple TV, it's evident that the accessibility and convenience of video conferencing continue to expand across different platforms, offering users more flexibility in how they choose to communicate and collaborate.
