ONLYOFFICE is one of the best office solutions out there and it just got better with the recent update. For those unaware, ONLYOFFICE‘s vast suite of applications helps users take care of editing, managing, and pushing out various document types all from one place. The developers of the app have released another major update that brings seamless collaborations during Zoom meetings, so that users can collaborate effortlessly, in real-time when in a meeting. Here’s everything you need to know about the same.
ONLYOFFICE DocSpace Zoom Collaboration Feature
ONLYOFFICE has made available a new extension of its DocSpace tool on the Zoom App Marketplace which allows collaborating in real-time with participants in meetings, inviting teammates, and sharing the documents. Once you create a custom room, you can invite users and project the DocSpace app in the meeting for real-time collaboration.
If you didn’t know how rooms work in ONLYOFFICE, once created, the authors can invite others to a room as co-authors. The authors can then upload the necessary documents to the room and the co-authors can request or make edits and changes. ONLYOFFICE DocSpace supports various file formats including DOCX, XLSX, PPT, MP4, JPEG, PNG, and more.
The files created during meetings are stored in collaboration rooms and can be accessed from anywhere, at any time. To get started, users will first have to authorize the app to their Zoom accounts after which a DocSpace account will be created for them. After this, every one can effortlessly collaborate as they get invited as co-authors.
These features should make it easy for a large-scale team to collaborate freely and will appreciate easier idea sharing which would further enhance productivity. This makes ONLYOFFICE DocSpace one of the best Microsoft Office-like apps that is as powerful, efficient, and more importantly, completely free for personal use.
