I use Zoom to connect with long distant grandchildren. We also like to play games using the game room concept of several sites such as, https://buddyboardgames.com/ and https://playingcards.io/ . We play these games in a separate window while in our Zoom session. I believe the structure is similar to Kooht, which Zoom has recently added as an extension but I have not personally tried it.
I use the whiteboard to do joint drawing with one my grandsons. We can also play games like Tic Tac Toe and hangman. Incorporating some of the game rooms we currently use in separate windows into Zoom would make it even better. While Zoom is focused on supporting organizations, it is also great for staying connected with grandkids and other long distant friends and family members.

If you are screen sharing a game you are playing and it is not displaying properly for others on the session, you may try selecting the "optimize for video" option the Zoom provides when selecting the window you want to share. While others will not be able to play this game from their viewpoint, it does let them experience the game from your viewpoint. What I was suggesting was Zoom to offer an application programming interface for game makers to allow each participant to see their "hand" while displaying a shared "game board" .

That sounds like a lot of fun! I totally agree that incorporating more multiplayer games into Zoom would be a fantastic feature. It's not just about supporting organizations; it's also about enhancing connections with loved ones, especially grandkids and distant friends and family. Thanks for sharing your experience! 👍🎮 However, I cannot promote or endorse downloading content from unofficial sources. It's essential to ensure you are downloading content from legitimate sources to avoid any potential legal or security issues.

Pleased to see my post still generating interest in adding support for multi-player games from 3rd parties, as Zoom has done for Kahoot. I fully agree with your caution on allowing downloads from "unofficial sources". My request is that Zoom consider enabling other 3rd party developers (like Kahoot) to become an "official source" to expand the Whiteboad to enable programs that enhance connections with loved ones and friends in addition to all the business support Zoom currently provides, such as the AI Companion mentioned above.

Enabling multiplayer games can significantly enhance player engagement by allowing users to connect and compete with friends, fostering a vibrant community. Implementing robust server infrastructure is key to ensuring a smooth gaming experience. Additionally, resources like elvebredd.net can provide valuable insights and tools for players seeking to maximize their in-game assets. By integrating these elements, game developers can create a more dynamic and interactive environment that keeps players coming back. Overall, focusing on multiplayer capabilities can transform the gaming experience and encourage long-term player retention.
