Popcorn Style for Zoom

What is Popcorn Style?

Popcorn Style helps facilitators run energetic meetings with rotating speakers and guided prompts. It keeps everyone engaged by making collaboration feel like a game.

Installing the Zoom App

  1. Install the app.

    Click Add to Zoom to open Popcorn Style’s listing in the Zoom App Marketplace, then select Install to add it to your Zoom account — signing in if prompted. Zoom lets you know once the app is ready to launch.

  3. Log in to Popcorn Style

    Sign in or create an account to link Zoom to your team. It’s optional at first: everyone gets 4 free Zoom meetings a month without an account, and any paid plan makes Zoom unlimited.

Uninstalling the Zoom App

  1. To uninstall, navigate to Installed Apps in the Zoom App Marketplace and choose Remove on Popcorn Style.

    Popcorn Style deletes your Zoom connection and meeting data from our servers. We keep a small record of your free-plan usage so reinstalling doesn’t reset your monthly allowance.
