How to Set Up the Zoom Workout Timer

In a live class the timer belongs on the screen everyone is already watching, not on a phone propped against a water bottle. The Zoom app draws the countdown, the exercise name and the next-up preview straight onto your camera feed.

Setup is a one-time job: install the app from the Zoom Marketplace, sign in, and pick a workout you already built. After that it is load, press play, coach.
