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.

    So thankful for ZOOM!

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Feb 26 2021
    Summary

    ZOOM came in handy when the pandemic hit! We had my mom and son's birthday party through ZOOM. We were able to see family and eat together over the period of having to social distance. I've been on many meetings and it works greatly.

    Positive

    Great for meetings, events, etc. You can join by phone, tablet, or computer which is awesome and extremely convenient! You have the option to be on or off video which is great because you can still engage.

    Negative

    I honestly don't have any cons for ZOOM. I love it so far and it's very useful.

    Power User of Zoom

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Jan 05 2021
    Summary

    Zoom is the BMW of video conferencing. They keep improving the experience. I produce a Zoom show every other week, and people trust the platform.

    Positive

    Head and shoulders above the competition in terms of user experience. Best audio for musicians like myself. Best beauty face for vain people like myself. Handles volume better than Microsoft Teams, WebEx, and the rest.

    Negative

    The webinar capacity upgrades are pricey for my budget/uses.

    Best Meetings Platform

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Sep 28 2021

    I would certainly recommend zoom to anyone hoping to host or attend a meeting online. Again, has been a great tool to connect with others, professionally and casually.

    Positive

    I prefer zoom because it is universally accepted and I am able to meet with those that I need to, despite their email or where they are. It makes connecting with others easy and convenient.

    Negative

    The time limit can be inconvenient sometimes but helps keep me on track and concise during my meetings.

    The Industry Standard for a Reason

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Aug 12 2021
    Summary

    Zoom is the industry standard for a reason: it works. It's great. Sound and video quality are always spot on (as long as connection is strong), screens are easy to navigate and the interface is intuitive. The paid accounts are a good value for what you get. I heart Zoom!

    Positive

    So easy to set up meetings, not confusing with time zones at all, multiple options for sending out invitations and/or adding events to your own calendar. An absolute breeze to work with.

    Negative

    Things got a little more restrictive for free accounts after the pandemic started but nothing that's too difficult to wok around thus far.

    User friendly and supportive during crazy times

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Apr 11 2021
    Summary

    Prior to COVID we would maybe do 1 video call a month, now we're doing 6-7 a day and Zoom is a critical piece of our business and we're very pleased!

    Positive

    Like most, with COVID our business is now 100% virtual and Zoom allowed us to easily continued meeting and not skip a beat with clients. Super user friendly and integrates well with our calendars and systems.

    Negative

    Little things like the password and security issues but they are more due to COVID and the rapid growth than the platform capabilities.

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Aug 06 2021
    Summary

    Zoom is a must for the new online international meeting. Zoom should send a how to use video when you receive a meeting notice. I like that zoom has numbers you can call if for some reason your mic does not work. This has to be explained better for virgin users.

    Positive

    This product is great for being able to set up meetings to do online reviews of plans or software. For Classroom and seminars for multiple business locations this has been a great asset.

    Negative

    Some things do not flow as good as they should. Microphones have stopped working and have caused meeting issues.

    Perfect conferencing solution

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Jul 11 2021
    Summary

    I would give zoom a 10 featurewise. The only thing they could consider is price. The paid version is a bit expensive.

    Positive

    I've tried both free and paid versions. Free of course is time limited but does the work if you manage to run 30 min calls.
    Screen sharing, recordings and every feature built in is good enough for running web conferences.

    Negative

    The only thing I've seen is that on paid, if you set two meetings with different rooms and for any reason you run late on the first, the second can't be started by other person(s), again, even with different rooms. Would be good to allow people to start the meeting.

    With Zoom we improve our customer conferences

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Mar 27 2021
    Summary

    It facilitates the social distancing that we have today. It offers us a link which is shared with all the participants, thus easily joining the conference already scheduled, it has no limits on the participants at the time of the conference. It is easy to use and guarantees good communication.

    Positive

    It provides us with the necessary tools to make a real time and productive conference with our customers or consultants in this way provides us an approach with them, so it offers a connection without cuts even when the connection is not stable at all, which does not interfere with conferences, allows us to record and store, either in a file, in the cloud or on our servers. The experience with the software was incredible, with the quarantine issue many of the consultants and clients were limited to come to the company, with the platform we were able to solve that inconvenience in such a way that Zoom makes it easier for us to do real time conferences with the clients or consultants from the comfort of the home or anywhere in the world, It allows us to record the conference session and saves it for those who could not enter on time, which is very beneficial. During the conference we were able to share the screen and thus be able to better explain to our clients and consultants, leaving them satisfied with their needs and offering a better service to them.

    Negative

    Conferences within the platform are free regardless of the number of attendees. They are very limited in time, since they only last less than 40 minutes, if we wish to have a maximum time of 24 hours we must choose one of their paid options. It takes some time to download the application and install it so some of the customers have been slow to enter the conference.

    Useful For Meetings

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Oct 10 2021
    Summary

    Overall the best video conferencing software out there, would highly recommend. You can add your own backgrounds as well so I'd recommend you do that if you're looking to hide your personal background.

    Positive

    I've been using Zoom for a while, even pre pandemic. Definitely the easiest of the video conferencing softwares to use. Much better interface than Google Meets and I like the rooms feature sets.

    Negative

    They can improve their backgrounds options if you're looking to hide your background. Would prefer if they have a better chat interface to save information that may be shared as compared to information disappearing after a meeting.
