    Flexibility to carry out your work activities

    Date: Dec 17 2020
    Summary

    Give it time, discover all its functions and also use assimilations. If you use Google Drive and also Google Calendar, it's incredible. You can search tutorials on Youtube for more information. It's really simple to connect to my group, no matter where they are, as long as they zoom. One of the main advantages that is worth keeping in mind are the numerous assimilations that Zoom has, as simple as making an appointment with Google, clicking on the Zoom option, and that's it!

    Positive

    Zoom is a fantastic device to stay connected with all your colleagues. For those of you who haven't tried it yet, try connecting your Google account to Zoom and see how simple it is to operate its functions and features.

    Negative

    There is absolutely nothing to dislike, considering that the pandemic still prevails, they have really reached the top of our needs, several other companies have really tried to capture, but they don't seem to figure out how to do it so efficiently. The direct exposure that Zoom really set them up for success, as well as they really recognized exactly how to keep the individual's assumptions at a high perpetuity.

    I use this all the time

    Date: Dec 08 2020
    Summary

    This is an excellent and easy-to-use program with great reliability and excellent audio/video quality.

    Positive

    It's easy and it just works. I can invite others easily and the reliability of the connections is excellent. Video and audio quality are excellent. They stay on top of security issues and resolve them quickly.

    Negative

    It seems like some non-essential features aren't fully baked yet. For instance, I have added multiple users from my meetings to my friends list, but can't really do anything with the friends list. When I try to invite them, they don't ever seem to receive the invite.

    It is nice but has some issues to work out.

    Date: Sep 14 2020
    Summary

    Overall there are some issues but it is the best software to use while I am attending online class. Looking at other software it seems cluttered and a mess to use.

    Positive

    I really like how it allows me to connect with my teachers and education. It is easy to use and allows to re-upload past meetings. This is a nice feature that I use to go back over lessons when I might have missed something.

    Negative

    When using the past meetings feature I notice that it is very glitchy. Having to scrub though the video to find a certain part has a ton of lag.
