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.

    Great product. Easy to use, very capable and many options. You get what you pay for, and We have had great success with it thus far.

    Positive

    Easy to setup and manage video conferences.
    Good call and Video quality.
    Easy for our users to setup impromptu meeting internally and externally.

    I would prefer the feature set be more consistent. If I join someone else's Zoom, it may or may not have the ability to call me, which can be problematic when joining a call remotely or on the road.

    Zoom is great for your learning gatherings

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Feb 25 2021
    Summary

    Great, easy, fairly priced app and has a lot of support about how to use it, they have some room to grow but it is in minor things - so overall highly recommend!

    Positive

    Easy software for online meetings and learnings. Been using this in both my jobs as a program director and school administrator, and I am happy we have it. You can organize people in groups/rooms, share screen, video and audio, and easy to use and set-up

    Negative

    Multiple people can't talk together - for like singing or reading out loud. The zoom chat is not very friendly - when it is heavily used you can get lost because the private chat and the main chat are showing on the same window and it can be confusing/ sending messages to the wrong people.

    Great convenience to communicate with colleagues.

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Feb 11 2021
    Summary

    Despite Zoom's terrible way of sharing files during each video conference, I think that this platform offers excellent connectivity when it comes to communicating with people in one place. I am very grateful to Zoom for allowing me to communicate directly with all of my colleagues in my company and for helping me to videoconference with my clients in just a few steps. The platform is very fluid, easy to use and offers comfort when using it.

    Positive

    Zoom has a good methodology for connecting with all types of users. I love the way Zoom connects me with each the people together, making all kinds of videoconferences or video calls simple. One of the characteristics that I liked the most is that Zoom sends consistent notices to all the people who subscribed to a planned videoconference, in this way they can be kept informed about any changes in the videoconference planning. In addition, I really like that Zoom has an incomparable video quality, a video quality to have a wide view of all the participants what is in the video conference or video Call.

    Negative

    I do not like that Zoom Meetings has problems during the transfer of files, this platform offers excellent connectivity when it comes to conducting all kinds of videoconferences together, however the theme system detects files will always be very slow, files take a long time to get on the shared file area. The files always appear at the top of videoconference so that all participants can access the files, however, it will take a long time for each file to be reflected in that section.

    Summary

    I think this is an excellent recourse and would suggest giving it a try if you haven't already. It's simple to use.

    Positive

    It's a very straightforward design and I love that you can change your background. The chat feature and being able to break out into different rooms is very useful.

    Negative

    It can be difficult managing a larger group where people can talk over each other.

    Most accessible, straight forward video conferencing

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Jun 28 2021
    Summary

    I recommend Zoom for any quick and easy conference call. It is quick, works flawlessly and allows tech illiterate individuals to easily participate. The call quality is fabulous too! I am so happy they released their software for the public!

    Positive

    Other than for the meeting originator, participants do not need to have an account. I have used so many video conferencing services for work, school, and family. You name it, I am sure I hav used it. However, after many family Christmas calls that took hours to get everyone on, Zoom was released and I can now send a simple link to all of my family without having connectivity problems, and account creation problems. The single link without an account is amazing for getting grandma on the call, without her struggling too much!

    Negative

    The time limitation is hard for the free version. However, now Zoom is so common I always have a family member with Ana count now,

    Great online conferencing tool

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Apr 13 2021
    Summary

    We've used Cisco Webex, GoToMeeting, and now are using Zoom and I like it the most. Some of my clients are using Microsoft Teams... And it's just painful. Zoom is a leader in the market and I don't know anyone who ever had issues with it. Great app!

    Positive

    Super easy to use, updates come out often, lots of settings for any use case, secure, and supported by many platforms.

    Negative

    I can't really say anything - there was a small UI bug last year that got fixed in a few releases. Nothing else.

    The best meeting software.

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Nov 22 2021
    Summary

    Overall, Zoom is a go-to software for having or conducting any type of meeting or webinars or conferences. It is feature rich and really helps in increasing the productivity.

    Positive

    - Zoom provides all features required for a productive video meeting/conference.
    - The remote control is a real lifesaver in situations when you want to give or take remote assistance.
    - Zoom also provides 40 minutes sessions in the free version, which is enough for casual meeting or for individual use.
    - The audio/video quality remains consistently good throughout the meeting.

    Negative

    - The top bar that appears during screen sharing is really annoying and prone to accidental clicks.
    - The user interface and navigation bar seems a little confusing initially.

    Zoom is the potential communication tool today

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Feb 23 2021
    Summary

    Zoom has kept me in touch with colleagues and family as due to the quarantine I have not been able to have much face-to-face human interaction. With Zoom I can also keep in touch with my clients at all times, so I can maintain business relationships and continue working from home.

    Positive

    Zoom has been for me the best platform to maintain communication with my work colleagues. It has functions to share the conference link, the person who receives the invitation will not need a Zoom account to enter, they only need to enter their name, Screen sharing is very useful for those who need to share information with slides. I can control who speaks or not within a video conference. Easy interface for almost instant use without any problem.

    Negative

    I have no problems with Zoom at the moment, I can only say that the audio and video quality of this platform has an excessive consumption of data if the mobile application is used.

    Fantastic Program for Social Distancing

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Jan 28 2021
    Summary

    Great program to use in general. Since its the universal "go to" program during Covid-19, its just great that they have made it so easy to use, especially for people who aren't that technologically savvy and its free to use!

    Positive

    1. Extremely user friendly
    2. Accessibility - This program can be downloaded as an app on your phone or you can use it on a desktop/laptop computer
    3. This is the universal "go to" program for social distancing during Covid-19
    4. Cost (free)

    Negative

    I don't really have any negative thoughts about this program. Everything has been wonderful.

    Dynamic webinar functionalities

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Apr 13 2021
    Summary

    The webinar functionalities of Zoom improves access to webinars from remote locations and content sharing thus facilitating broadcasting of organizational discussions.
    The hassle-free video recording makes it easy for users to store video clips for future reference and also cuts on costs because there are no third party devices needed to capture coverage of meetings.
    It is reasonably priced and brings a smooth experience to all online meetings.

    Positive

    It's amazing how quick I invite other participants to join webinars through a URL link that is generated by the software and can be shared through social media platforms or by email. HD video and voice functionalities and with a system that supports dual screen for viewing both the presentation screen and the panelists screen.
    I like the unique functionality of Zoom that allows me to record virtual meetings directly from the mobile device of through the web.

    Negative

    When conducting large virtual meetings with many participants it gets difficult to control them as the voice chats overlap. I took time to learn how the dial-in function works and it helped me handle huge number of participants without any difficulty.

    The Webconferencing Tool of the Pandemic

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Jul 20 2021
    Summary

    It accomplished what it's there for. No complaints. It was necessary, and I appreciate that they had the infrastructure in place to support so many business and personal needs during a national shut down.

    Positive

    Video conferencing software is very easy, intuitive to use. You could set security settings as high or as low as you need for them to work for your audience. It transferred well between work, church, and personal life.

    Negative

    I feel like we used it by default simply because it was what everyone was familiar with. I did not appreciate the 45 minute cap on calls with more than 3 people if you weren't paying for premium service.

    Simple yet efficient video conferencing

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Jan 02 2021
    Summary

    Overall the platform does what it says, and has helped us out while working remote. If you can spend a little and upgrade to paid, it's all the more worth it.

    Positive

    I like that there is a free plan that makes it accessible for everyone. The audio and video quality are really nice and it's available on iOS, android and PC.

    Negative

    The time restriction for calls is something I do not personally like. It could have been extended to an hour or more.

    Zooming my life!

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Jun 29 2021
    Summary

    Zoom has been in my life since early 2019. It has improved over time amazingly. It has functions like sharing screen, recording, multiple screens sharing, sound only sharing and many more! I don't think any other communication and meeting service comes close to Zoom. I use this on a daily basis since I work from home and setting up meetings has never been easier! I'd recommend this app over any other at any time. I'm giving it 9/10 because I'm sure they've yet to reach their full potential but trust me, I wouldn't choose any other meeting app over Zoom!

    Clear sound
    Barely any connection issues
    Good server overall
    Way ahead of its competition
    Easy UI and user management

    Negative

    The main con comes with not being able to assign cohosts or hosts in breakout rooms, but that was partially fixed when they added an "Assign host" option whenever the host leaves the meeting.
