## What it is

Zoom is a video meeting service. The desktop app joins and hosts meetings with video, screen sharing, chat, breakout rooms and recording. It's closed source and run by Zoom Communications.

## Why it's here

- **Meetings other people schedule.** Many companies, schools and clients send Zoom links, and the app works better than joining in a browser.
- **Full features.** Screen sharing, breakout rooms and recording work as they do on other systems.

## On CoreDesktop

CoreDesktop installs Zoom as a Flatpak from Flathub. Open it from the app grid and join with a meeting link or ID. `update` keeps it current along with your other Flatpaks.
