It works well and serves its purpose - best for one on one meetings
Date: Apr 29 2021SummaryZoom is generally glitch-free and gets the job done. I find it best for one on one meetings, and it also works for one speaker style engagements. I'd avoid zoom for mid-size groups/meetings.
PositiveZoom is easy to install, easy to use, and generally works without and technical issues. I've found competitors to have a greater learning curve and increased chance of technical issues that can cause delays. Typically with zoom it is quick and easy to log on and get started with a video chat/meeting. It can scale up to accommodate groups, though I find it more aligned with one on one meetings. It also works well for larger webcast style experiences, where there is one single speaker and many viewers.
NegativeI'm sorry to say I just don't like the zoom experience. I'm not sure there is much to be done when digital glitches like a slightly delayed/misaligned sound/video happens. You also can either look at the person's face (and then to them you do not look like you are looking at them, or look at the camera (but then you don't get to focus on their face). This is inherent in digital communication and not specific to zoom. Additionally, scaling up to medium size groups with zoom becomes cumbersome, where each participant is waiting for their turn.

Zoom - How We've All Survived the Past Year!
Date: Feb 23 2021SummaryZoom has been a life saver this year. Our business went from in person trainings to completely online in order to continue providing services, and zoom was able to make that happen. The quality of online meetings is SO much better than other products (google, microsoft), and it's been quite easy to use overall. We've not only been able to conduct our previous trainings via zoom, but we've actually expanded our reach across the state of Louisiana, and have been able to start new training options and sign a new significant contract because of how we've been able to pivot to online trainings via zoom.
Positive- easy to use!
- great quality for a good price, esp on a smaller scale
- significantly better than major competitors - both for participants and hosts
- has allowed us to expand our trainings to a larger audience than when we were in person
- works pretty well on a variety of devices
- great for sharing videos, powerpoints
- great engagement via polls, chats
- being able to set up templates for recurring meetings is great
- works well with other programs/services we use: google calendar, firefox browser, appointlet and many moreNegativeOverall zoom is a great product and I don't have any major complaints, but here are a few areas where there's room for improvement:
Read More...
- chat: having an option for private chats to appear in a separate window. in large meetings, they tend to get lost in the main chat, which can be very confusing when trying to respond
- updates: love that things are updated regularly, but would be great to get a notification via email or the zoom app that an update is available
- waiting room: it would be great if there was a way for people in the waiting room to message the host
