What is Zoom?
Zoom Meetings is an AI-powered video conferencing platform developed by Zoom for online meetings, remote collaboration, presentations, training sessions, and hybrid workplace communication. The software enables participants to join virtual meetings through desktop applications, mobile devices, web browsers, and compatible conference room systems. Its video conferencing capabilities include HD audio and video, screen sharing, customizable layouts, virtual backgrounds, appearance effects, and background noise suppression. Hosts can manage participant permissions, organize breakout rooms, control screen sharing, and configure meeting settings to support different collaboration requirements. Built-in collaboration features allow participants to exchange messages, annotate shared content, use digital whiteboards, and work together on documents during meetings. Zoom's AI meeting capabilities generate summaries, identify discussion highlights, extract action items, and answer questions about meeting conversations. My Notes enables users to capture personal meeting notes while AI-assisted transcription organizes important discussion points and generates structured takeaways. Automated captions and multilingual caption translation help participants follow discussions across different languages and accessibility requirements. Meeting recording capabilities allow authorized users to preserve sessions, review previous discussions, and share recordings with colleagues. Integration with Zoom Team Chat, Scheduler, Calendar, and supported third-party applications connects meeting activities with scheduling, document collaboration, and ongoing team communication. Zoom Meetings also provides administrative management, configurable security settings, meeting authentication options, reporting tools, and integrations that support deployment across small businesses, educational institutions, and large enterprises.

Zoom is the ideal service to keep interacting in a group
4 out of 5 stars Date: Apr 22 2021SummarySomething that Zoom Meetings manages to do very well, is to facilitate the recording of our sessions, where we can invite as many people as the plan we got (the basic one) allows us, so the interactions in each session are varied, and generally positive in terms of length. We like that the split-screen scheduling feature allows us to do simultaneous operations and show them to the others.
PositiveIn situations like the current pandemic caused by covid-19, software like zoom meetings becomes essential to keep the team working in sync. The reach we can get with this platform is very high, since we can have many members within our screen sharing rooms, and we can create private conversations.
NegativeThe zoom platform tends to randomly terminate conferences if there is no stable internet connection, instead of leaving them on hold indefinitely in case it is fixed. In addition to this the video image can freeze, and there can be sound dropouts, so it is important to check the chat room settings before each meeting.

Zoom Review
5 out of 5 stars Date: Mar 24 2021SummaryGood video and audio. Feel good when you can see everyone in the meeting, conference or family get together.
PositiveGreat Software tool for conference and social conversations.
We use Zoom all the time. Been doing some webinars, Professional Meetings, friends and family celebrations on Zoom. Love using it. Better than facetime on the phone.NegativeWhen doing a family or friends zoom, everyone talks at once. Just like we're all there anyway. Hate it when internet connection is lost.

Simple to Use
5 out of 5 stars Date: Jan 04 2021SummaryI look forward to using Zoom over other platforms. This is my first choice for video-conferencing and connecting with my various teams.
PositiveZoom is easy to use for me as an invitee. I never have connection issues, even when my internet connection isn't working great. I can always hear each of my team members, clients or outside organization staff and the video is never an issue. I like that I can have my camera off or on, based on my own preference.
NegativeIt would be nice to have longer than 45 minutes for some meeting but doesn't impact my review.

World 2.0 must- have
5 out of 5 stars Date: Jul 20 2021SummaryZoom saved us during the pandemic, as it had many others.

Amazing control of all the features.NegativeThe meeting template tends to be quirky when setting up routine meetings.

Zoom meetings is a great option for today's streaming business
5 out of 5 stars Date: Mar 15 2021SummaryOverall, zoom meetings is very useful for working with live streams and presentations involving large audiences, mostly because its level of simplicity means that anyone can quickly adapt to being in it and attending chat rooms. In any case, the best thing about zoom meetings is the possibility to record all meetings in real time, with an amazing 4K image quality (although the image quality can be configured for devices with less storage memory).
PositiveZoom is a platform that is easy to adapt to thanks to the simplicity of the distribution of its buttons within the video call and its quick configuration, where you can choose the number of people who can see the call, who can interact and participate in them, and you can constantly review the result of these settings to obtain the optimal quality and privacy in the meeting.
NegativeIn terms of behavioral analysis, zoom meeting lacks many of the advantages of other current online meeting services. An example of this is that zoom meetings does not include tools to review the behavior of each person joining the meeting, and does not show in real time their connection time.

Stability in Communication and Effeciency.
5 out of 5 stars Date: Feb 22 2021SummaryZoom has forced us run on cloud, something that includes all people from any corner of the world. Information and data are well encrypted, when using Zoom.
PositiveZoom has given different procedures that ensure there is constant communication. There is video conferencing, and chats, which are immediate and working.
NegativeZoom has brought about different guides on communication, and the design and the cost for this program is also effective.

Group Meeting space with Breakouts
4 out of 5 stars Date: Jun 11 2021SummaryIt is mildly intuitive. Areas like name change are buried within the program and takes a few clicks to get there.
PositiveLove the background options! The break out chats are very helpful for collaborating or holding a competition.
NegativeThe free trail does not let you experience all the options that are out there.

Okay software
3 out of 5 stars Updated: Jun 30 2021SummaryNot a bad program but for users who only need to use it once a month the free version leaves a lot to be desired.
PositiveThe free version works fine but good stuff is hidden behind a paywall. For what it does do, it works without any issues.
NegativeThe free version works but is very limited feature wise. If you are using this you really need to be on the paid version.

A necessity even in a post-Covid era
4 out of 5 stars Date: Jul 03 2021SummaryZoom has helped us tremendously over this past year, and honestly will still be useful once covid is completely in the past. It simply makes meetings easier.
PositiveZoom made it possible to have a functioning meeting connecting people across states and countries. Breakout rooms are especially useful for seminars. The most critical feature is the ability to share screens, so that the presenter can easily demo while everyone else watches.
NegativeMost Zoom issues can be attributed to less tech-savvy user error.

Started as a pandemic staple but will use it going forward
5 out of 5 stars Date: Aug 18 2021SummaryVery user friendly and intuitive. It is a bit pricey for individuals or organizations that only host one meeting a month. I wish there was a plan that allowed for that vs 15 for unlimited.
PositiveI love the ability to record meetings, to share all or a portion of the screen, to change presenter, to have the chat window. I love being also to rename call in parties. I like being able to set up reoccurring events with the same login credentials.
NegativeIt is annoying to have to do either waiting room or passcode. I know it is for security but some folks have a difficult time pulling up the passcode if they are calling in from a phone and can't see the invite while dialing in.

I also wish there were settings for hybrid meetings (some attendees on zoom and some in a physical room). We have had lots of issues with audio in these cases. If we could control the volume of call ins, or other controls, it might help. I realize the problems are user error, but any help from zoom would be good. -

Best Video Conferencing Software around
5 out of 5 stars Date: May 24 2021SummaryZoom is easy to use and the video quality is great. I wish that it was the platform used for my organization!
PositiveThis software is incredibly user friendly. It is by far the best platform to use with people who are not part of my organization (which uses Teams), as most people are already familiar with it or can figure it out easily. The platform is great for one on one calls and big groups. When I used to teach remotely, I always had my students use Zoom to collaborate for class include group recordings.
NegativeThe only time I recall having trouble with Zoom was when I learned that recordings were cut off at 30 minutes for people without a paid membership. This was not a big issue because you can just begin a new call.

PositiveZoom has great product features and technology to aid in agile video conferencing. The service and overall product experience are near perfection and have been vital throughout the covid-19 pandemic.

Fantastic and Timely Product
5 out of 5 stars Updated: May 24 2021SummaryI was unaware of Zoom prior to the pandemic. When all travel stopped and we were forced to do things virtually, I had my first Zoom meeting and have used it as my go-to virtual meeting software ever since.
PositiveZoom is a great product. It's easy to use and hardly ever has issues. The upgrades are seamless, quick and never cause issues. This is a fantastic product!
NegativeI have not noticed any issues with Zoom, it has functioned perfectly - especially throughout the past year when everything was done electronically.
