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 2021SummaryZoom 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.
PositiveZoom 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!
NegativeThere 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.

Zoom Saves 2020
5 out of 5 stars Date: Jan 21 2021SummaryZoom 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.
PositiveZoom 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.
NegativeI would like to see private voice chat within a meeting room.

Intuitive and Easy to Use!
5 out of 5 stars Date: Apr 27 2021SummaryIn 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!
PositiveZoom is incredibly easy to use, took just a few minutes to get started. The waiting room feature is outstanding.
NegativeThe 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 2021SummaryReturning 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.
PositiveZoom 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.
NegativeSometimes 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.

PositiveZoom 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.
NegativeThis platform is ideal even for non-tech savvy entrepreneurs.

Genius
5 out of 5 stars Date: Apr 28 2021SummaryI have enjoyed using it and appreciate the fact that I can use my office to join any meeting I am invited to join.

NegativeIt 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 2021SummaryZoom 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.
PositiveZoom 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.
NegativeZoom 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.

Zoom is a good substitute when you cannot meet
4 out of 5 stars Date: Jun 29 2021SummaryOverall 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.

The New Standard
5 out of 5 stars Date: Apr 23 2021SummaryOverall, 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.
PositiveSimple 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.
NegativeIt is a pain to set up a meeting sometimes. I wish there was a quick link like with Google Meet.

Very good stability for group meetings.
5 out of 5 stars Date: Feb 13 2021SummaryDespite 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.
PositiveOpen 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.
NegativeThe 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.
