Use Zoom for the Incident Command Center

Opsgenie’s Zoom app lets you leverage Zoom as the video bridge for your Incident Command Center (ICC) sessions. ICC provides a central place to command, control, and coordinate incident response. It enables you to stop switching between different tools and platforms during incident response. You can view the status and progress of each responder team and track all updates and actions, from a centralized dashboard.
