SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)

twine, an employee connection platform for remote and distributed teams, today announced the public launch of twine for Zoom, an app developed on the Zoom developer platform, that makes it easy for Zoom meeting hosts to match attendees for timed conversations.

Built on top of Zoom breakout rooms, twine for Zoom automates away much of the work required to move participants in and out of Zoom breakout rooms, saving Zoom hosts time, while bringing serendipitous experiences to Zoom meeting attendees.

“We are thrilled to make twine for Zoom available to all Zoom customers,” said twine CEO and Co-Founder Lawrence Coburn. “At twine we are obsessed with building software that drives serendipity and human connection; twine for Zoom makes building connections among your Zoom attendees as easy as tapping a button.”

In addition to its matchmaking modes, twine for Zoom also offers a map mode that allows Zoom hosts to spin up customized virtual tables that appear in your Zoom meeting’s sidebar; Zoom meeting attendees can join a virtual table simply by tapping, and are free to move from table to table.

“We’ve built twine for Zoom to enable many, many use cases,” said twine co-founder and Head of Product Taylor McLoughlin. “Some of the use cases we are seeing in early testing are speed networking at virtual events, new employee onboarding to distributed teams, and all hands / team meetings.”

twine is free to use up to 25 unique users per month.

“As a completely remote company, we were looking for a way to have those water cooler moments, virtually,” said Meagan Allers, Head of Customer Success at video messaging app Marco Polo. “twine for Zoom took all the work of pairing people off my plate, and provided a quick way for our team to connect with those they don’t normally work with.”
