- After installation, configure the app or plugin settings according to your preferences. Some apps may require additional setup, such as connecting to other accounts or customizing how they integrate with Zoom.
- Use the App or Plugin in Zoom
- Depending on the app or plugin, you may be able to access it directly from within a Zoom meeting, through the Zoom client, or from the app's own interface. Experiment with the app or plugin to understand how it works and how it can benefit your Zoom meetings.
- Manage Your Apps
- To view or manage your installed apps and plugins, go back to the Zoom App Marketplace and navigate to "Manage" > "Installed Apps." Here, you can update settings, review permissions, or uninstall apps as needed.
