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.

    Easy to use

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Aug 19 2021
    Summary

    Zoom is easy to use and is simple interface to allow anyone to join a Zoom call. It makes the issue of in-person meetings disappear. Many basic features are easy to use and easily controlled to make the program work seamlessly for its intended use.

    Positive

    Zoom is super simple to use from the presenter point of view AND from the user's point of view. The ease of logging in makes it ideal for our clients who do not have a Zoom account or have little experience with Zoom, it is still easy to use. From an Admin point of view, setting up meetings and reviewing meetings are easy to do!

    Negative

    There are some limitations on how to share a screen. I want to be able to share multiple documents and still see everything on the guests' screens. You have to choose between a power point or looking at the audience if you are a viewer.

    Amazing for group calls

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Mar 05 2021
    Summary

    Overall Zoom is a pretty nice video calling software. It has very small time limits which should be extended in the free version.

    Positive

    We use Zoom for both official use and otherwise, for normal meetings and discussions. It is easy to use and versatile.

    Negative

    The interface needs to be improved as it is not very nice.

    Zoom Saves 2020

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Jan 21 2021
    Summary

    Zoom has saved our 2020 possible. Without face to face contact during the pandemic, zoom has allowed us to conduct business just like we always have; just virtually. Without zoom we wouldn't have been able to meet with clients and partners or be able to run our business.

    Positive

    Zoom is easy, reliable and has great audio and video. Multi user capabilities and screen share is great. Great for keeping meeting schedules organized. I also love how secure it is. I also love that it can be used on any computer or smart phone.

    Negative

    I would like to see private voice chat within a meeting room.

    Intuitive and Easy to Use!

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Apr 27 2021
    Summary

    In 2020 we started using Zoom for work from home applications, but we have continued to use it to collaborate in 2021. Being able to chat face to face with coworkers and prospective clients has been a huge help!

    Positive

    Zoom is incredibly easy to use, took just a few minutes to get started. The waiting room feature is outstanding.

    Negative

    The video quality could be a little better, it seemed fairly fuzzy even on a fast wifi connection.

    Zoom: Staying connected is always ideal

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Mar 17 2021
    Summary

    Returning to the concept of the live stream with followers, something that Zoom does facilitate is the ability to perfectly record our session, and even invite other users to participate with us and make the session more interactive. The split screen function is ideal for simultaneous activities while in a conference or a simple video call, and the best thing is that the application allows us to edit in real time what we see on the screen.

    Positive

    Zoom is the perfect alternative to the distancing and difficulties that are currently occurring due to the covid-19 pandemic. With this platform you can hold conferences with a very high reach and with many people in the room. You have all kinds of options to develop communication, either to create and organize private chats, small groups or large conferences. When it comes to staying close to the people you work with and securely Zoom demonstrates a good balance between quality of communication and a good degree of professionalism in each conference. The platform is highly recommended for video conferencing with groups or privately, and also for managing content about work, which would help to keep management error-free.

    Negative

    Sometimes the platform tends to close the conferences or leave the image frozen, and there is also loss of sound. Another very important flaw to highlight is that the platform does not have an audience analysis system at the time of making a live stream, nor does it allow us to keep track of the behavior of the stream.

    Amazing platform for hosting virtual events

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Feb 23 2021
    Summary

    When the company implemented Zoom we made the transition to online conference calls and we have been able to handle and sustain growth. Our guest have now a platform where they can meet from any location.

    Positive

    Zoom allows me to schedule and host a variety of events. I am able to host unlimited meetings and provide full online conference service to guests. When i am using Zoom for webinars it allows up to 10,000 attendees.

    Negative

    This platform is ideal even for non-tech savvy entrepreneurs.

    Genius

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Apr 28 2021
    Summary

    I have enjoyed using it and appreciate the fact that I can use my office to join any meeting I am invited to join.

    Positive

    I think ZOOM was revolutionized during Covid Pandemic. Life shut down and everyone social distanced and Zoom kept everyone on task and together. For me, I used it at work and my kids used it at school.

    Negative

    It is an alternative to an in person meeting. I am old school and like in person meetings.

    Became Clunky

    3 out of 5 stars Date: Sep 12 2021
    Summary

    Zoom has great features that most people are familiar with. This means you won't have to explain how to join a call or raise a flag for a request to download as most people already have it installed and are familiar with features like breakout sessions, raising hands, etc.

    Positive

    Zoom is still a widely used solution, well known and most likely already installed on many computers. It has a free version available, allowing for intensive testing before making an upgrade decision.

    Negative

    Zoom became clunky and now distorts professional microphones that had never had any issues before. Their support is nearly non-existent for the free solution and slow for the paid version.

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Feb 21 2021
    Summary

    Overall Zoom is controlling the market by offering the best product at the best price and working to add new features all the time.

    Positive

    We are using Zoom for our gym group classes, team meeting and more! Zoom is very affordable compare to others, have integration with almost any other related platform in the market, they also offer a cloud storage for recording and very easy interface.

    Negative

    There are literally no cons for using zoom! Highly recommended.

    For Instant one click meetings

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Jan 27 2021
    Summary

    For video conferencing, where participants are in huge numbers and want to join hassle-free, zoom is the best option. Along with this, it provides a high-quality video calling experience.

    Positive

    It does not force you to do unnecessary signups.
    Nearly 1000 participants can join at a time.
    Admin has all-sufficient access to perform a well-entertained meeting without any issues.
    Quick tools in the dashboard help a lot during a meeting.

    Negative

    Anyone with a meeting link can join a meeting, making it high venerable if the link is somehow leaked.
    Apart from this, it's a fine application.

    Zoom is a good substitute when you cannot meet

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Jun 29 2021
    Summary

    Overall this is a great way to communicate with people especially when I cannot be with them in person. I am able to regularly meet with my friends and co-workers.

    Positive

    Zoom allows me to see and communicate with people when I can't go and be with them in person. I've been using it regularly since the beginning of the Covid lockdowns back in early 2020. It's simple to use and understand.

    Negative

    I really don't have any complaints about this software so far.

    The New Standard

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Apr 23 2021
    Summary

    Overall, this is the best videoconference service out there IMO. I use Google Meet and Microsoft Teams for various functions, but Zoom is by far my most regular application and favorite.

    Positive

    Simple to use. Breakout rooms make the experience better for large groups as well. The UI is the most effective, as even less tech savvy people can use it with relative ease.

    Negative

    It is a pain to set up a meeting sometimes. I wish there was a quick link like with Google Meet.

    Positive

    Capable for the price

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Jul 14 2021
    Summary

    Much easier to use and setup meetings than other products, but could benefit from better quality audio and focus less on video.

    Positive

    It allows you to use it for free for short meetings with many people, and via the web with no need to install anything.

    Negative

    The audio quality is not always the best when compared to other solutions.

    Very good stability for group meetings.

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Feb 13 2021
    Summary

    Despite the low optimization of screen sharing, I find this platform to have excellent potential for video conferencing. Zoom has helped us a lot to be able to hold meetings with a large group of people and thus be able to dialogue in a very stable way, thanks to Zoom's videoconferences. In addition, this platform is quite easy to use, I can transfer images, documents or any file through the communicative chat of each videoconference. The mobile phone App is also very well optimized and helps me communicate with many work team no matter where I am.

    Positive

    Open communication within all areas of the company in which I work is very important to us. I love the great video quality that Zoom offers me in all the video conferences we do, this platform is capable of providing me with unsurpassed video quality, which helps me to be able to see all the people who have joined the video conference. In addition, I also like the way in which Zoom allows me to invite new members to my videoconferences, without having to send emails with the invitations or by sending a link for those people. I love the way Zoom connects me to other people in just a few steps.

    Negative

    The negative aspect that I noticed in Zoom Meetings is when I used the screen sharing service in video conferences. Screen sharing isn't something that is fully optimized in Zoom. During my video conferences since using zoom, when I have used screen sharing, I have been told by video conference participants that screen sharing is quite slow even though they have a good internet connection. I would like to be able to enjoy this function, many times we need to share the screen with the members of a videoconference and it is something I cannot currently do because screen sharing is too slow.

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Sep 02 2021

    - The meetings are easy to record by the host or the authorized participant.
