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 for meetings

    5 out of 5 stars Updated: Nov 15 2020
    Summary

    It is great.
    It has a professional feel to it more than its alternatives.
    Having the ability to use it without downloading an app would be a great addition but apart from this there's nothing needed.

    Large meeting sizes available.
    The pricing is fair enough in all categories.
    The free tier meetings have 40 minutes.

    Negative

    Needs an app to be installed and doesn't run directly on web like Google Meet.

    Summary

    I experienced first time the Zoom, but I'm convinced with its "humanity".

    Screen sharing, scalable privacy, easy to invite and connect, smooth start from Chrome extension.

    Negative

    The 40 minutes time limit. :(

    But only a few seconds to reconnect all participants again. :)

    Nothing new, whats the hype

    3 out of 5 stars Date: Jul 27 2020
    Summary

    Zoom is just okay. It seems over-priced and could be more generous with its offerings. The sound quality needs work, the filters sound very annoying,

    Positive

    It works just as any decent conference software could since the last 10 years. Easy to use, loads fast.

    Negative

    No new innovation, very bad sound processing. The plans seem expensive.

    Best Virtual Meeting App Created!

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Dec 29 2020
    Summary

    Overall, I've had good experiences with Zoom. My first experience was for one of my college courses. We had technical difficulties in the beginning, but we taught ourselves how to work Zoom and since then we have been full sailing. I now have a job in the IT field, and Zoom has become one of the top 3 applications we use on a daily since we all work remotely. It has allowed me and my team to stay connected, all the while enjoying one another's company and staying safe.

    Positive

    I love how you can add as many people to a Zoom call.
    I also love the different backgrounds you can use and how you can create your own background!

    Negative

    I really dislike how a "free" zoom account only allows you to meet virtually for 40 minutes. I believe it should be at least 60 minutes or 90 minutes.

    Great tool for making business meetings

    5 out of 5 stars Date: May 24 2020
    Summary

    All in all I really like Zoom for meetings and business calls it's been a great tool to use in order to communicate with others. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a software that allows you to video chat and host meeting through video calls.

    Positive

    What I love the most about this software is that it's really convenient and easy to use as well as the fact that enables me to share my screen with the people that i have a call with with no buffering or lagging. Add to that the possibility of recording my calls easily. It also have many feature that help organize and manage a meeting such as the raise your hand feature which I find really handy.

    Negative

    What I like the least about this software is the fact that the non-paid version only allow a limited number of persons in one session.

    A better alternative to what we have for meetings

    4 out of 5 stars Updated: Oct 28 2020
    Summary

    It's surely a better app than Google Meet, or Skype, and with everyone using it, it definitely reduces the hassles of installing other apps. Could be better though,

    Positive

    1. It's definitely easier to use
    2. Table type view is creative and presenting PPTs and ability to control how the presentations goes (muting, chatting individually)
    3. Everyone uses it, so it's no hassle to install 5 software for 5 different meetings

    Negative

    Rumors about this product, sending snippets of chats, vc to China. Maybe stop doing that which I think that they have, after all it's an American company.
    I wish that they add tags and comments on files in coming updates.

    Zoom review

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Jun 09 2020
    Summary

    I like Zoom. I used it for school initially but have even used it for lots of family meetings etc. Very popular app for a reason!

    Positive

    Doesn’t lag. Meetings can hold A LOT of participants. Had about 500 people at once. Easy to use. Can use on lots of different types of devices. Good privacy due to passwords. Breakout rooms is a nice idea.

    Negative

    When you use the pen tool on your screen, it goes on everyone’s screen as well... learnt that the hard way. It would be better if only you could see it.

    Quality Calls, Easy to Use

    5 out of 5 stars Date: May 27 2020
    Summary

    We love Zoom. It is easier to use than other similar video conferencing platforms. The pricing is good for the product you get!

    Positive

    Zoom is very reliable and easy to use, even for people who are new to video conferencing. Their interface is user-friendly and very simple. Their pricing is upfront and honest. Our organization is very happy with Zoom.

    Negative

    It has been mentioned in the news that their security features may have been lacking, but we have never encountered an issue. We always require a password for meetings and it is not difficult to send out meeting requests with that information included.

    Summary

    I’d say it’s the top video call that I use. Everything else has a learning curve that someone has to learn.

    Positive

    Love that there is a way to get us all together! Sucks when others have devices that don’t connect.

    Negative

    I don’t think there is much. The biggest problem is my own internet.
