Games

I am doing a virtual baby shower for my daughter. I purchased games that only work with zoom . I upgraded my account. My question is how do I download the games for my meeting?

Hi @2688280121 thank you for your post here on the Zoom Community! Typically when purchasing an application that works with Zoom, the application developer would provide support for the app (in this the games you purchased). Is it possible to contact the company who sold you the games and find out how they integrate and are used in Zoom?

1. Log in to your upgraded Zoom account on the Zoom website.

2. Go to your account settings or profile.

3. Look for the 'Meetings' section or 'Schedule a Meeting' option.

4. Create a new meeting or edit an existing one where you plan to play the games.

5. Under the 'Meeting Options' or 'Advanced Options' section, you may find an option to upload files or attachments. Upload the games you purchased here. Make sure they are in a compatible format (e.g., PDF, PowerPoint).

6. Save the meeting settings.

7. When it's time for your virtual baby shower, start the Zoom meeting, and during the event, you can share the games directly from within the meeting using the 'Share Screen' feature. Just select the game you want to play, and your guests will be able to see it.

I hope this helps! Enjoy your virtual baby shower!

Many virtual games come as downloadable files or links, so look for any PDF files, images, or links that you can download to your computer. Once downloaded, you can open and share these files during the Zoom meeting by using the “Share Screen” option, allowing everyone in the virtual party to see the game on their screens. If the games are web-based, make sure you have the website link handy to share in the chat.

This is a great tip! Sharing your screen works really well for games like trivia, scavenger hunts, or even Pictionary using drawing tools.

Ah, I see what you mean. The games themselves usually aren’t something you “download into Zoom” — instead, they’re either separate files (like PDFs or PowerPoints) you share on screen, or interactive web links that you open in your browser and then screen-share during the Zoom meeting. If you purchased them, check the email or website where you bought them; there should be instructions or download links. Once you have the files or links, you just use Zoom’s Share Screen button to show everyone.

I did something similar for a family shower, and it worked well once I realized Zoom doesn’t host the games itself. Think of Zoom as the “room,” and the games are just what you bring into it. If you run into trouble, try a practice minecraft session with a friend so you know how it looks on the other side before the actual shower. That way, everything runs smoothly when the big day comes.
