I couldn’t work without it
5 out of 5 stars Date: Oct 23 2020SummaryOverall, I use Zoom everyday and it’s excellent. It is an essential part of my day to day technology stack.

Catch Up With Friends
5 out of 5 stars Date: Oct 16 2020SummaryI decided to try Zoom to have a meeting with my friends that are all over the Country that I could not visit during Covid and it was so great, it really felt like we were all in the same room. It really couldn't have been any easier!

Great for use for podcast interviews
5 out of 5 stars Date: Sep 05 2020SummaryWe needed a solution that would make it easy to do video interviews for our podcast, and most importantly store the video/audio for the interview for re-broadcasting. This was a way better solution than Skype.
PositiveThe saving of the video interview allows splitting of the audio as a separate file, so that using it in an audio only podcast is great. The quality is very good - I've done interviews with people from the USA who were in Malaysia and it was as if they were in the same room.
NegativeNothing really. Having to pay for it sucks, but that's life right? :)

Best conference tool for your business
5 out of 5 stars Date: May 24 2020SummaryZoom has been a tool our business has been waiting for quite a while. Powerful functions to manage your conferences and everyone loves how simplified it is. During this time of working remotely this is one tool every business needs to have today.
PositiveI really loved when I started using Zoom in our business on how easy and intuitive the entire interface is. Any beginner who never used this software can be up and running in just a few minutes. So far in our business it has been great. When a meeting room is created you are able to interact with each other and even chat. Meetings can be recorded and saved for a later time for review.
NegativeThere are a few very advanced settings that can be more simplified and more understandable so it can take a while to learn these, but overall once you get the hang of it everything works out very well.

Very Useful and Easy to Navigate
5 out of 5 stars Date: May 22 2020SummaryZoom has made it possible to conduct meetings in an efficient and clear setting, without any type of technical interruption. It allows me to keep in touch at all times with co-workers, family and friends. It has been a lifesaver for large group meetings. Its various small yet useful features make it superior to other video conferencing softwares.
PositiveZoom's interface is very intuitive and easy to use. The platform interface is very straight forward, and it is fairly easy to see who is talking at any given point. Zoom generates a very easy to share link to join the video conference and I'm consistently impressed with the video quality.
NegativeThe way that video calls are displayed in large meetings can be a disorganized and awkward. At first it was a little confusing how to make the sound work when you're on a video call, there are several different options, and sometimes it can lag when entering a very large meeting.

Lifesaver during Pandemic- Part of my Daily Business Moving Forward
5 out of 5 stars Date: Jun 17 2020SummaryWonderful and user friendly platform that should be utilized by everyone in their business to move things forward. Telehealth is a great example of how platforms like Zoom will be an everyday necessity in the future. I will be continuing to use Zoom in my daily business.
PositiveZoom is incredibly easy to use and understand, the options available for sharing a screen, commenting, viewing, etc. are extremely useful and easy to understand. As a professional, it has allowed me to stay connected to my co-workers and to review documents with them. It has also allowed me to continue networking and building professional relationships.
NegativeTo clearly hear what others on the Zoom call are saying, it is better to have them both appear visually and then separately call in. This is at time confusing and participants of a call do not understand why they are asked to do so.

The only video conferencing app you need
5 out of 5 stars Updated: May 26 2020SummaryI definitely recommend this app. There is no other app right now that gives the level of ease that zoom gives. It had its fair share of problems but it has been fixed and the free version is a boon to small industries that cannot bear the cost of those bulky/expensive video sharing apps
PositiveEase of joining meetings: You can join a meeting within seconds. Just click on the invite link and you are in. No need to remember another account.
Breakout rooms: This app lets the moderator to divide the participants into breakout rooms for discussion among a smaller set. This can be handled automatically by zoom too.
Hand Raising feature: A nifty feature that lets the mod see who is willing to speak.
Attend meetings via calls: Don't have an app? No worries. Call one of their international dial-in numbers to attend meetingsNegativeSecurity Issues: A lot of users have faced Zoom bombing where unwanted participants join the meeting. This happened due to integration with Giphy and has been fixed.
