Glassdoor has been fortunate to partner with Zoom Events & Webinars and Zoom Events Services over the past few years for our Sales Kick-off and Summit events for our Go-to-market teams. Our SKO events are virtual and we needed a way to manage the event at scale. Additionally, no one on our team had a background in running virtual events on a platform so the Services team is our lifesaver and partner!

We've been using Zoom Webinars since 2014. Everything from Director's Quarterly meetings to major company announcements to DEIB events. We average at least two major webinars per week, sometimes as many as eight per week, all conducted under Zoom. Attendance ranges from just a few hundred to over 1500. There simply isn't a better platform for mass one-to-many video communication.
  • Simple user experience--very intuitive for attendees to join, interact with Q&A
  • Adaptable and feature rich--very easy to set up Webinars for different use cases with features like registration, Q&A, practice session, HQ video, branding and virtual backgrounds, polls/quizzes, post-surveys, breakouts, resources, production studio, FB/YT Live, captions/translation, etc
  • Aesthetically pleasing--new branding options (such as webinar wallpaper, custom backgrounds, and name tags), plus the recent addition of the Production Studio feature, means it's easier than ever to produce beautiful and appealing webinars.
  • Panelists, practice session, and backstage--Zoom makes it easy to set up webinar panelists ahead of time, and get them into the room early for a practice session. The new backstage option is even more powerful than the practice session feature.
  • The bleeding edge--Zoom is continually adding powerful new features for Webinar rooms, where other programs leave you with the same ol' stagnant feature set.
  • I wish there were more polling options available in Zoom in general, and this extends to both webinar polling and post-webinar surveys. Could certainly do with a more robust polling feature set.
  • Setting up Registration for Zoom webinars can be very tricky, and I usually advise against webinar registration. The fact that users have to manually download an .ics to add it to their O365 calendars after registering means lots of issues with users attempting to join after registering early.
  • I would have complained about lack of breakout rooms for webinars, or the fact that the practice room can't be turned back on after it was turned off, but Zoom recently implemented webinar breakout rooms plus the Backstage feature, so both of these common complaints are now fully addressed!
There simply isn't a better webinar tool. Zoom offers best-in-class audio/video codecs and quality, they have the best usability, they have the most features, and the price for a webinar license is fairly reasonable.

I used Zoom for online B2B Sales calls. Previously i was using Skype and local dialers to reach out clients. During COVID -19 moving from phone call to Zoom meetings totally changed my experienced. In my opinion, it is user friendly and increased my conversion rate. I also used it for internal team meetings and was a great experience so far. Managing virtual team, chat rooms, screen sharing and easily joinable from browser with a single link made it a favorite platform.
  • User Friendly
  • Screen sharing
  • Free video Recording
  • Calendar invites and follow-ups
  • It is difficult to use Zoom for low band width connection.
  • One hour bracket for free user should be increased
  • Mobile browser view is difficult to join
Best platform for Online Sales Meeting
Internal Team Meeting can easily be conducted if a resource is on work from home
Presentations can efficiently done through Screen Sharing
Webinars can be organized
It can easily be integrated with different platforms like Upwork
It is very easy to Sign Up and manage it.

Zoom Video Webinar is being used across all our departments, Zoom is a very popular platform & user friendly So very less technical support is required for the same .When the Higher management want to convey their thoughts to all employees we use the webinar functionalities as well as when our management need to share the info of products to the end customer we use it & without any problem people join the webinar with functionalities of multiple panelist , Unmuting audio , Q & A functionalities.
  • Multiple Speaker/Panelist
  • Unmute attendees at times
  • Registrations & data collection
  • Background Banners in webinar without sharing presentation
  • Starting Webinar from Mobile
Zoom Video Webinar is suited were only one way communication is required where no one will speak only listen with other functionalities of even controlling the participant audio when raised hand , the Q & A section making everyone to share their thoughts & Question as well as the functionality to increase the number of participants.

Soon after the pandemic, the entire business ecosystem moved to an online mode of business which helped us to connect with our colleagues from the entire globe. Since we have to conduct and attend several meetings to have a smooth flow of our business decisions. Zoom Video Webinar has come out with a good user-friendly interface and has been a part of our business to this day. Its video recording mode has helped us to keep a record of our decisions and proof of transcript. The host and admin controls help to manage large audience sizes without any disturbances. Having a screen sharing option along with onscreen board and pen usability, enable us to present as well as explain the business parameters and agendas. Its breakup room features help us in the distribution of small events to be conducted simultaneously. It has enabled our team to stay connected for an entire project from drafting to finalization.
  • The screen sharing feature
  • Recording of meetings
  • Providing breakup room
  • Admin controls.
  • Chat option
  • Sometimes irrelevant background noise creates disturbances that need to be identified and auto mute them
  • Identifying spamming messages on chat option and providing admin to block or remove
  • When having large participants presentation screen to users ratio should be properly adjustable
  • It is also prone to cyber-attack like we fear having a sensitive discussion which is crucial to the organization, so if zoom provides a highly secure connection at premium charges, it will be highly appreciated
Zoom meetings are appropriate for 1.casual meetings with friends o 2.virtual parties
3.office events.
4. Conducting meeting seminars for a huge crowd like for thousands .
5. The events or private meetings which need to be recorded and be stored in cloud memory for future references.
6.It is also prefect for medium sized enterprises where meetups are more frequent.
7. It can also be sync with slack which most of the enterprise uses.

Zoom meetings are less appreciated in.
1.Highly sensitive meetings.
2.In a conversational class or interactive teaching programs where 2 -3 people couldn't be heard distinctibly and it creates chaos.
3.Using it as debate forum whould be of less use people can't be assessed properly when their body guestures could be judged properly and simultaneously people talks creates easy chaos.

We use Zoom [Events] for a variety of types of meetings. We recently have used it for webinars throughout the agency for updates to policies, to changes in procedures, and for training purposes too. We also have used it for educational purposes as it allows us access to camera use and we are able to chat in groups.
  • Has camera access
  • We can choose our name displayed
  • It is user-friendly
  • Making a change on the name we have displayed can be easier
  • Would like more hidden option tabs
  • More participants on the free version
It came in super handy when COVID first hit and we were in somewhat of a lockdown. That was when we really started using it both for work and at home for personal use, than actually for appointments as well. It's great that it allows so many users into one conference. It is a bit less appropriate when there are others present and you get the background noise, or your dog jumps on your lap for all to see.

The Zoom Video Webinar is currently being used by my organization to host project team meetings, departmental meetings, and management meetings. It is being widely used across my organization as well as our affiliates. It creates convenience by avoiding the need to travel far to meet face to face as well as for safety purposes during the pandemic. It's quick and easy to use.
  • The ease of using other apps while on a zoom video call
  • The ability to disable audio during the call so that it can be used on another app
  • [A] simple way to chat within the group to all audience[s] or a particular user
  • Ease of scrolling through the videos of participants as well [as] the participant's list
  • The chat room can enable the option of sending a broadcast to participants on the meeting without sending [it] to all
  • A participant can be on hold on a meeting instead of leaving the meeting and returning
  • Noise reduction if possible for background noise from some participants
Zoom Video Webinar is well suited for business meetings, within companies, whether it be team meetings, management meetings. It can also be used for group discussion purposes where the ability to congregate in person is not feasible. It can also be best used for [an] online school where the class should be interactive and both the lecturer and students play a part in the lesson. I think it is not well suited for public broadcasts for media purposes.

Within my company, we use Zoom Video Webinar to conduct weekly meetings with remote research collaborators. I am not certain if Zoom is regularly used by other research teams at my company. Zoom is similar to other remote video conference software in that it allows participants to hold video or phone conferences or meetings. Zoom helps us avoid travel costs associated with meeting collaborators in person. Due to its reliability and high video and audio quality, it has boosted our work performance and efficiency. Thus, we can spend more time during meetings discussing research rather than waiting for buffering or asking participants to repeat statements.
  • The video and audio quality are excellent. I have never needed to ask a participant to repeat themselves because of low audio quality or a time lag between the video and audio.
  • I find the layout of the meeting interface pleasant and intuitive. I find it much easier to use than Skype. I also like that during a video conference, you can see all the participants on the sides of the screen, and the person talking is featured in the middle.
  • I like the fact that you can join a Zoom meeting via a web browser, or you can use the app. This allows you to join a meeting even if you are not on your own computer.
  • While the audio quality is very good, it is very sensitive to background noise. When we hold meetings with Zoom, all participants except the one talking have to mute their microphones, which is a bit of a nuisance during a discussion.
  • I prefer joining Zoom meetings through a web browser on my laptop rather than using the Zoom app, but every time I want to join a meeting I get the prompt to download the app. I'm not a big fan of being asked multiple times to download an app that I do not want (this happens when I join Zoom meetings on a computer other than my work laptop).
  • For the needs of my (small) research team, Zoom works well and is relatively inexpensive. However, Zoom pricing increases considerably for meetings of over 100 participants and longer meeting time caps.
Zoom Video Webinar is an excellent choice for individuals or employees who want to hold remote video conferences and meetings at a reasonable price. The basic free version of Zoom would be my top choice for small meetings lasting up to 40 minutes, but for larger webinars or meetings lasting longer than 40 minutes, there may be cheaper options. Zoom works well for business or work-related video conferencing, but it would also be a good choice for personal meetings or remote interviews.
