Apple TV Integrates Zoom App for Video Conferencing, Compatible with Continuity Camera
Since Apple introduced the tvOS 17 featuring FaceTime and video conferencing, it did not take long for renowned platforms to join the wider screen adoption, with Zoom Video Communications offering their app to the platform. It would allow people to talk and see each other through the television, and it would only require them to use an iPhone or iPad as its camera and mic.
The connected experience via Continuity Camera allows the user to stream their video via the platform, offering a chance to expand their much-needed calls.
Zoom’s video conferencing app is now available to download for your Apple TV 4K black boxes via the Apple App Store, and this is available through the latest updated version of the device. It is among the many third-party companies to bring their apps to the Apple TV 4K, looking to expand more of the communication experience to larger screens in a high quality format. This was made possible thanks to Apple’s tvOS 17, the latest operating system of the black box that allows video conferencing experiences on the device. The Zoom app is still available for users to download for free, but there are ways to enhance more of the experience by subscribing to its premium deals for more features and perks.
While the Apple TV 4K does not have a camera and webcams are unavailable to connect, using Zoom via the black box relies on the Continuity Camera feature that captures the audio and video feed. This is available for iOS 16 and later versions on the iPhone and iPad devices, with available stands in the market to hold the device at a certain angle they wish to stream.
Apple TV 4K and the Apple TV+ app are best known for their massive video streaming content available for subscribers to access, offering a library filled with original titles and more. One of its biggest shows now, ‘The Morning Show’ has been confirmed for its return to deliver Season 3, featuring Jennifer Aniston as Alex Levy, featuring the everyday experience in a television workplace. WWDC 2023 offered the world the latest developments in many Apple software, including the arrival of tvOS17, iconic for its integration of video conferencing features. Meanwhile, Zoom is still one of the better-known video communications apps that is available on many devices, now entering the television platforms for all.
The arrival of Apple’s tvOS 17 ushers in a new era for those who own the black box from the company, and apart from allowing users to experience 4K video streaming, it also has many apps and experiences available. Zoom arriving on Apple TV devices via the latest software version offers a chance to use the device for video conferencing via the platform, and no longer rely on connecting computers or devices to a larger screen.
