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.

    Very Good Video Conferencing Application

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Dec 23 2020
    Summary

    Overall for connecting with the system and people, zoom can create meeting ID which is integrated with MS outlook and other calendar system for notifications. It also used for sharing of files, folders and even control the PC by share screen feature. Full version helps in many users to connect at same time.

    Positive

    During the current period, Zoom evolves as a life saving software in the market and very helpful in connecting people virtually. Its simple meeting id request and interface helps the new user also to use the application with ease. It works with low internet strength. Nice collaboration feature and appointment id generation.

    Negative

    It data safety is dilemma as per the market reviews, but it is completely safe and ready to use. No problem at all.

    Share screen option and time lag issue is there which can be improved a bit.

    Zoom Review

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Nov 18 2020
    Summary

    Overall, Zoom has allowed me as a leader to maintain the desired level of cohesiveness with my team of teachers during this pandemic. Providing leadership remotely was a challenge before the discovery of Zoom and its features.

    Positive

    I liked the ability to meet with groups of teachers during the pandemic. Zoom allowed us to remain focused on the goal by meeting virtually and staying focused.

    Negative

    I didn't like the unpredictability of connection status which sometimes causes teachers to disconnect without knowing it.

    Amazing educational service

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Mar 31 2020
    Summary

    Zoom is an excellent service to bring people together, and especially useful for educational purposes. I’ve used it several times in the context of a classroom setting, and it’s wonderfully professional and accessible. It really helps instructors express their points, especially when classes cannot be held in person due to COVID-19

    Positive

    Good connection, User friendly. Cost-friendly, Engaging

    Negative

    I don’t have many complaints with this product; the signal occasionally cut out, but that could have been the fault of my internet.

    I've been using this to conduct online training with my district's teachers. It is easy for both the teachers and myself to use. The ability to record meetings is a nice touch.

    Instant Video conferencing

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Dec 09 2020
    Summary

    Altogether, It is a nice app for video conferencing with good quality video and crisp sound experience but in a few cases, I felt a bit disappointed. Moreover for a small organization and small meeting free version of Zoom is enough.

    Positive

    Since the pandemic began it became quite hard to conduct meetings and coordinate with other colleagues. This app came into work as it provided a vast set of features so we can do a virtual meeting with ease.
    I would say features like guest login and one-click access to a meeting helped a lot, as it was very easy and convenient.

    Negative

    I found issues in video quality and sound, mostly when the number of participants is high. Other than this it's a nice app.

    - Can handle a large group of participants.
    - Scheduling a meeting is quite simple.
    - Easy to manage meetings.
    - Good video and audio quality.
    - Screen share option works extremely well.

    Easy to use video calling tool

    5 out of 5 stars Date: May 23 2020
    Summary

    Overall Its the best and easy to use video calling tool in the market. Any new person with less knowledge in technology can use this application with ease.

    Positive

    I've been using this tool for the past 1 year and never faced any problem. I have conducted coaching sessions, business meetings, and friendly video conversations using the Zoom application. It is one of the most versatile video calling tool in the market. It does not require a strong Internet connection to work properly. It adapts easily with the windows and the android system.

    Negative

    There might be some security issues that the zoom team needs to check. The User Interface is very simple in look and needs some improvement in terms of aesthetics.

    Zoom - the answer to all the various communication solutions

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Nov 27 2020
    Summary

    With several other options, we can have several minutes of a phone call while individuals do the work of using their diverse resources. We can conduct training with screen shares where you need reliability, as well as convenience of use and also to maintain a recording of the session.

    Positive

    Zoom is used for our sales, advertising and marketing, service success and communication among our peers, as well as groups of items. Clearly, for sales calls, demonstrations and also internal conferences, this solution is necessary in any type of organization, and Zoom is also the best item we have ever experienced in your group.

    Negative

    Customer experience in the organization, whenever I probably export to a Google schedule, this makes me reauthorize my account, after that it opens the incorrect schedule, as I am directly connected to several Google accounts. In recording modification, you can make use of some even more durable devices to edit and enhance a recorded video and audio before export. And to transmit recording, do not immediately remove discrete sections with just one individual in the recordings.

    Leading video conferencing and messaging tool

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Aug 18 2020
    Summary

    Zoom Meeting and Chat is our new meeting room. In the time of pandemic it helps a lot to collaborate and discuss various aspects over the internet. The meeting rooms can be set private so that no un-invited members can join without the invite link. It prefers chat feature along with the audio video conference which can be archived for up to 10 years. It supports easy screenshot sharing with and without annotation. Overall I am very much satisfied with the features and equality of video and audio on calls.

    Positive

    Zoom Meeting and Chat is one of the leading choice available in the market for video conference and team collaboration. It support high definition video and audio calls in 1 is to 1 or to group calls. It has many inbuilt team collaboration tool which helps a lot to positively collaborate over the internet.

    Negative

    I am very much satisfied with the audio video call quality and the security it offers. No cons.

    Positive

    The app is easy to use and with the pandemic situation, the app has become widely accepted. The break out rooms feature is great.

    It's the best, but might not be work the subscription if your a non profit

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Dec 11 2020
    Summary

    It's great, simple, stable and everyone seems to default to it. But there are competitor options out there that will cost you less (or totally free) with licenses you already get if you're a small business or non profit.

    Positive

    Even non tech savvy users on multiple devices know what zoom is and have adopted it as their video call platform. This gives it an edge over some of the free options out there though Google and Microsoft Teams.

    Negative

    Within a small team or business, it's not clear that the subscription pricing for licensing is worth it. In our non profit we try to avoid unnecessary monthly expenditures, and google and Microsoft offer such generous licensing discounts, that we already have access to video call / conference tools at a drastically reduced rate.
