twine makes it easy for Zoom hosts to create connection by enabling advanced breakout rooms and speed networking.

What is a Zoom App?
In 2021 Zoom launched the Zoom App Marketplace, which enabled software developers to create apps that can be used in Zoom. Similar to the Apple Store or Google Play, the Zoom App Marketplace allows Zoom users to find, install, and use their favorite apps right in Zoom.

What is twine for Zoom?
twine for Zoom is a Zoom app that uses Zoom's breakout feature to power speed networking, matchmaking, and more interactive breakout sessions. twine for Zoom consists of two main modes:
Visual Breakouts: a visual representation of the breakout rooms where each room is represented by a table. Users are able to self-select which table (room) they wish to join and move themselves into the room.
Matchmaking Mode: Matchmaking functionality leverages twine's algorithm to match users in timed, rounds of conversations. Traditionally, meeting hosts would have to manually move users from one breakout session to another. With twine for Zoom, our app just does this for you!
In order for your users to access twine for Zoom, you may receive a request to enable apps for your organization or pre-approve twine for Zoom.
