Powered by Zoapi’s Bring Your Own Interface (BYOI) technology, Cross-Launch enables users to remotely launch, and control video calls on Zoapi Hub using just a meeting link.

Beyond video calls, Cross-Launch also allows you to open web links such as YouTube, cloud documents, and presentations, making it a versatile tool for collaboration.
