Enable multi-player games

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.

    It’s great that you’re using the whiteboard to stay connected! Technically, you can simplify things by using the "Embed" tool in the new Zoom Whiteboard to pull web content directly into your meeting. For a more seamless experience, exploring the Zoom App Marketplace for native online games is the best way to keep your video feed and the game in one unified window, removing the need for your grandkids to switch back and forth between browser tabs.
