Hey, so guess what? Meta’s shaking things up again. They’ve plopped a Zoom app right into the Horizon Store, which means—get this—you can morph into your Quest avatar and hop into meetings. Wild, right?
Now, I’m pretty sure this isn’t the first rodeo for Quest users wanting a piece of the Zoom pie in VR. Back in 2021, they cooked up something with Zoom in Horizon Workrooms. Ah, those were the days—when you could throw webcam folks and VR peeps together into one space. Felt like a sci-fi flick. Sorta.
Anyway, now if you’re only after Zoom—no frills, no fancy stuff—you can snag the standalone app for nada. Meta’s calling it “a seamless extension.” I mean, sure, why not? It’s like adding another spoon to your Zoom soup.
Okay, picture this: you’re hanging out as your Horizon Worlds avatar, chilling in meetings. Not in those crazy immersive rooms though. More like your avatar’s a 2D action figure in someone’s Zoom—whether they’re a VR buddy or just sitting there on a webcam. Bet you didn’t see that coming.
But, do we really wanna be these pixelated beings in meetings? I mean, they’ve polished those avatars up a bit, but they’re still kinda cartoonish. Imagine Apple’s Personas swooping in on their Vision OS 26 with all their shiny new faces. And yup, Vision Pro’s been rocking a Persona-ready Zoom since 2024. Ahead of the game, as per usual.
Still, if it’s free, it’s hard to whinge, right? Go grab the Zoom Workplace thingy from Horizon Store, log in with whatever you use on your phone or desktop, and—boom—you’re mingling in VR. Have at it!
