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.

Very Good Video Conferencing Application

Zoom Review

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

Instant Video conferencing
4 out of 5 stars Date: Dec 09 2020SummaryAltogether, 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.
PositiveSince 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.NegativeI found issues in video quality and sound, mostly when the number of participants is high. Other than this it's a nice app.

Zoom - the answer to all the various communication solutions
4 out of 5 stars Date: Nov 27 2020SummaryWith 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.
PositiveZoom 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.
NegativeCustomer 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 2020SummaryZoom 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.

It's the best, but might not be work the subscription if your a non profit
4 out of 5 stars Date: Dec 11 2020SummaryIt'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.
PositiveEven 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.
NegativeWithin 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.
