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.

Great invention

Definitely helped a lot during COVID19
4 out of 5 stars Date: May 23 2020SummaryDuring the covid19 shutdown, we could use this tool to host trainings and even have internal meetings. With google meet not having record options and limit with people, Zoom really really helped us a lot during these trying times.
Positive1) Easy to use user interface compared to other softwares.
2) Dual screen recordings are a breeze where only the screen where the shared content gets recorded. Option to record both screen available too.
3) Setting up the meeting/webinar is very easy.
4) Does not appear to pull much bandwidth.Negative1) The option of not letting people with gmail or personal email register to meetings or webinars should be present. As of now, we have to manually look at email addresses and approve/deny them.

2) There also should be an option for the host to send a message in chat individually. The only options available are everyone or specific person. -
