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.

    Best meeting and video calling platform for business use case

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Jul 01 2021
    Summary

    Great using such a nice platform during this pandemic and beyond. One can be a premium account holder for the same when it comes to organizing large online community platform.

    Positive

    Easy dial and setup pad, Easy plug and play model for the non business use cases like education classes, yoga etc. Zoom parties or get together is an additional benefits of such a nice platform.

    Negative

    Email integration is not available for most enterprise users. Users need to pay for the plugin features. Looks a bit outdated UI/ux which one needs. Zoom fatigue is another con.

    4 out of 5 stars Date: May 17 2021
    Summary

    Overall me and and my team do not see our selves moving away from Zoom anytime soon and will be our preferred video conferencing app to use due to the great features and ease of use.

    Positive

    Has been a great meeting solution for me and my team. The screen sharing capability is very easy to use and helps out each of our team members get their points across.

    Negative

    Really no cons other than the free plan not being that great compared to competitors.

    Zoom is an intuitive and collaborative tool for videoconferences

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Mar 21 2021
    Summary

    Zoom is one of those useful and essential programs that we must have in our portfolio of usable applications, it is a meeting software that gets us out of trouble in any inconvenience. The calendars of the recipients are easy to configure and we agree that it is the best program for basic meetings on the market, a point in its favor. We have achieved stability with Zoom with all our clients as it has allowed us to hold meetings every day with various departments without the need for a reasonable loss of time. We were able to set up a meeting request without any problems and we implemented a scheduling function to link you to Outlook simultaneously at the time of the first connection of the day.

    Positive

    One of the main features of Zoom is the ability to share screens with high quality recording function, this is one of the unique functions that only this software has. It also has excellent compatibility with Google calendar and Outlook platform, easily integrating the agenda to Zoom. It is also necessary to include the whiteboard function with annotation support which is amazing and easy to use.

    Negative

    Sometimes the audio quality is disastrous, they should update a feature to be able to remove background noise and only focus on the voice of the people sharing the video conference at the moment. We are limited to have an audience of less than 100 people when running videoconferences, this is another point that should be updated soon.

    Zoom is a life saver

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Jul 08 2021
    Summary

    Zoom is a great resource for getting everyone together from anywhere in the world to discuss the groups needs and goals. It really helped us all stay on track, connected and on the same page while allowing us to social distance.

    Positive

    Zoom has been an amazing tool with the COVID pandemic. I was able to attend important meetings and work from home when necessary. Highly recommend for all your virtual meetings.

    Negative

    Only issue I have is the loss of the in person meeting feel.

    Top in it's class

    5 out of 5 stars Date: May 20 2021
    Summary

    We use Zoom all day, but we also use Teams, WebEx and google hangout as well. However we prefer zoom 9/10 times unless our externals are not allowed due to enterprise security reasons.

    Positive

    - Simple UI
    - Easy to access + invite other users
    - Screensharing is great and relatively clear
    - Useful to meet digitally

    Negative

    - Zoom toolbar is annoying in screenshare
    - Can't access chats after easily to get the content
    - A participants list sent after would be helpful
    - Waiting room + participants joining should be more apparent.
    - More integrations

    The broadest communication that exists for companies.

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Feb 09 2021
    Summary

    Zoom has been a very necessary tool for my work and business life since I can stay connected with my work team or my family regardless of location and how fast your internet speed is. Zoom is very necessary since because of the quarantine we cannot hold meetings within my company, with this platform I can keep my work activities up to date without having contact with another person. Zoom also allows me to connect with my clients who live abroad, as I do not need to take business trips to do business.

    Positive

    I like that you can share the link of the video conference by email or any means of communication via the internet without the need for the other person to have the application installed. The video quality is very clear, other software have connection problems regardless of the internet speed that is available. The communication with respect to the audio is never cut off, if the video fails the audio continues to be heard (obviously lowering the audio quality). I can enter a video conference without having a Zoom account, I just have to have the meeting link and enter the name before starting.

    Negative

    The desktop sharing interface is a bit outdated, it is incomplete in terms of functions, they should improve the user experience. The mobile interface is uncomfortable when all participants have the cameras turned on, and the more people have their cameras turned on, them more resources it consumes. I do not have another problem that hinders the use of Zoom in my day to day.

    Very Useful for Meetings and Online trainings

    5 out of 5 stars Date: May 23 2021
    Summary

    Didn't face any setup issue very good and doesn't take huge resources to run. This is the best for online meetings.

    Positive

    Very easy to setup and run. Quality of the video is really good. I like the recording feature so we don't lose the meeting recordings.

    Negative

    Time of the meeting can be increased 40min is not enough for some meetings.

    Zoom is great!

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Jun 22 2021
    Summary

    I would recommend Zoom to any teams that need to stay in contact but are limited in their ability to meet in person for every meeting. Plus, it adds more accountability than a video-less phone call.

    Positive

    Zoom has been a total lifesaver during the pandemic. My team has been able to stay in contact virtually and realized that there's a lot that can be done from home instead of meeting up thanks to Zoom.

    Negative

    I understand businesses need to make money, but calls for free accounts are too short.

    Positive

    Communication is important.
    Great for business, family and board meetings.
    great way to keep in touch with family.

    Negative

    Zoom Review

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Feb 17 2021
    Summary

    Overall Zoom has been a nice platform. It has helped us cut down on unnecessary visits and saved hundreds of manhours facilitating virtual meetings.

    Positive

    Zoom makes client meetings and team meetings a breeze. We use zoom widely for conducting inductions and training sessions as well.

    Negative

    When there are more than few people on a group call, it gets very messy and its hard to find people.

    A great free video conferencing tool

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Oct 02 2021
    Summary

    My experience has been overwhelmingly positive with Zoom. Highly recommend as a low cost video software tool.

    Positive

    Excellent, mobile friendly video conferencing software. It provides a nice alternative to Microsoft Teams.

    Negative

    Really not too much. I do wish the free version allowed you longer than 55 minutes for a free meeting but hey, beggars can't be choosers.

    Very easy to use, hard to learn

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Mar 05 2021
    Summary

    Overall, I'd definitely recommend this to people, I currently do!
    I would maybe add better trainings or tutorials.

    Positive

    Zoom is great for connecting in these distanced times, I use it at work, I use it at home, and I use it for school.
    It works better, has better sound and video, and has more customization than most other video chat places I've used.

    Negative

    Introducing people to zoom when they've never used video chat software before, it is not the easiest to get around and learn all the settings.

    Zoom for the win

    4 out of 5 stars Date: May 19 2021
    Summary

    Overall, I would recommend anyone to try it. The free version is just fine until you have to go longer than 40 minutes for a call. I would give it 4/5.

    Positive

    Zoom has been the go-to conference platform at a number of companies that I've been a part of. It's simple to get set-up, and I don't have any issues with it. I haven't ever had to look at the design or contact support (that's probably a good sign) so there's not much I can say there.

    Negative

    I don't have any cons that I could think of. On occasion there are connectivity issues like anything else, so no major complaints.
