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 2021SummaryGreat 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.
PositiveEasy 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.
NegativeEmail 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.

Zoom is an intuitive and collaborative tool for videoconferences
5 out of 5 stars Date: Mar 21 2021SummaryZoom 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.
PositiveOne 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.
NegativeSometimes 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 2021SummaryZoom 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.
PositiveZoom 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.
NegativeOnly issue I have is the loss of the in person meeting feel.

The broadest communication that exists for companies.
4 out of 5 stars Date: Feb 09 2021SummaryZoom 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.
PositiveI 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.
NegativeThe 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.

Zoom is great!
5 out of 5 stars Date: Jun 22 2021SummaryI 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.
PositiveZoom 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.
NegativeI understand businesses need to make money, but calls for free accounts are too short.

Very easy to use, hard to learn
4 out of 5 stars Date: Mar 05 2021SummaryOverall, I'd definitely recommend this to people, I currently do!
I would maybe add better trainings or tutorials.PositiveZoom 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.NegativeIntroducing 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 2021SummaryOverall, 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.
PositiveZoom 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.
NegativeI don't have any cons that I could think of. On occasion there are connectivity issues like anything else, so no major complaints.
