We used to use Zoom all the time - with the start of the pandemic it came in very handy. I worked events and with the pandemic and the resulting limit on events we began to use Zoom and continued to use Zoom post pandemic so to be able to still carry out our events but not in person and on a more efficient and economical level. Zoom allowed us to continue to engage our donors and friends with events despite the changing environment.
  • Zoom rooms are particularly helpful especially in breakouts and allowing event attendees to get to know one another
  • Zoom is easy to use when I need to record an event or presentation so that I can share and engage with donor and friends who cannot attend
  • Presenting via zoom is easy to use for myself and for guest speakers even those who are not as tech savvy
  • While I like the zoom rooms sometimes there have been delays in starting them leading to confusion with attendees - this may be a connection issue rather than a product issue but wanted to mention it
  • Zoom does tend to get more glitchy then other platforms I have used - especially when presenting my screen or sharing a video. Not sure why.
We used zoom when we wanted to still hold a screening of a movie that portrayed caregiver burnout. Zoom allowed us to share this screening AND hold a question and answer session afterwards with both the movie screenwriter and our hospice leadership team.

We used zoom for several team meetings where it allowed us to talk as one large group and then break out into rooms and allowed us to connect more intimately as small groups

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.

We use it for all of our course lectures, meetings, and virtual events. We are currently transitioning to using Zoom versus another service because of Zoom's superior features and ease of use. It helps easily integrate with our current enterprise software and allows both students and faculty to easily integrate Zoom into their personal devices and calendars. It is used for almost all of our virtual meetings and is used extensively all over our campus.
  • Ease of integration
  • Intuitive interface and setup
  • Strong reliability
  • More screen sharing features
  • Full access for non-organizational users to join and use our tools.
It is great for those who need virtual meetings for work, school lectures, round table discussions, presentations, and more. This is also great for those looking to host webinars as well. There are not really any scenarios where this would not be an applicable app to use except for maybe small group discussions as this is more built for larger audiences.

For client conversations and webinars, my firm now uses Zoom Video Webinar. We use Zoom to make meeting invitations and see our clients' faces as we discuss their company because we have clients all across the country. Additionally, the screen sharing tool comes in handy when showing clients' websites and other images.
  • For the purpose of voice recording and onboarding new employees, this works well.
  • It is simple to use and has a pleasing appearance.
  • It is a fantastic tool for recording and archiving critical recordings.
  • It could be easier to share documents at a meeting.
  • If this is your first time attending a Zoom webcast, please arrive five minutes early. It might take some time to get there.
Zoom may be used for a variety of purposes. Not only do I want to perform seminars and group coaching here someday, but I also want to establish a webinar. It's convenient for me as a coach and for firms with people scattered over the United States or the globe to be able to gather in one central location. This is useful for anyone who has to meet face to face or even face to audio, and it's even better if the talk or meeting needs to be recorded. I haven't discovered a method to make it less useful or suitable for myself, so I can't speak to that.

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.

As our organization is mainly into education management so Zoom [Video Webinar] is being used by my whole organization and by every one of the [employees]. Zoom [Video Webinar] provides a top solution for all the virtual meetings. With its simplistic UI and powerful presentation performance, one can rely on its usage. Zoom [Video Webinar] being now popular in market is used by many of the users. It has click & join feature by which anyone can join the links without even signing up. Zoom [Video Webinar] helps faculties in our institution by providing them full control over meetings and user reports after the meeting through web portals. Zoom [Video Webinar] is incredibly simple to use and present. It is lightweight and its mobile application is also easy to install and use, Students can easily grasp onto it and can start work with. The screen sharing is optimized and has a annotate tool and also privacy tools to restrict anyone else from presenting. Zoom [Video Webinar] provides a 100 participants limit on FREE user account and 45 minutes of meeting limit also and I think it must have to be increased so that Basic users get a more idea of how Zoom [Video Webinar] works in order to upgrade over business/professional plan.
  • Recording : Recordings done by Zoom are high quality and are in very small size. This makes recordings portable and also Zoom provides direct Live on YouTube feature.
  • UI : The user interface of Zoom is very easy and simple. The options are well stacked and enlarged so one can understand them. Scheduling, sharing, starting a meeting is [not] rocket science in Zoom.
  • Presentation : With zoom one can easily present the screen or any particular document. It has annotation tools which is very useful while teaching online.
  • One Click Join : With this anyone can join the Zoom meeting links with just one click. No sign up required, no wastage of time.
  • Limitation for BASIC User : Zoom currently have 100 participants limit and 45 minute meeting limit for Basic users but I think it must have to be increased in order to have a more brief look over its working
  • Cloud Storage For Basic User : Zoom doesn't provide any cloud storage for your recordings for Basic Users, while MS Teams does, and I think that where zoom can make improvements.
  • Video Presentation : Zoom lacks performance at the time of video presentation. Video lags at the time of presentation.
If you are a small business or just started with virtual meetings, Zoom [Video Webinar] is best for you. It does the job very well for which it is made for. For teaching, webinars, workshop purposes, Zoom [Video Webinar] can be used easily. It has 100 participants limit for basic users which can be used by trial user user in order to have a idea about its working. Zoom [Video Webinar] can be very well used for bigger webinars/ seminars or bigger gatherings also by considering Business/ Professional plans. The subscription charges are quite low as compared to other software's. Zoom [Video Webinar] has limitation of not providing room or space for other features like class material, Meetings notes, Quizzes etc. Zoom [Video Webinar] can improve its performance also while presenting and it needs to work more on security reasons also.

We use Zoom for all of our internal meetings and standups as well as company wide meetings. We also use Zoom for all sales, onboarding, and support calls. Zoom allows us to easily and reliably share our screens and meet with multiple people at once. We use it along side our scheduling tool for the best way to host virtual meetings.
  • Reliable.
  • Simple.
  • Intuitive.
  • Interface.
  • User experience.
Internal meetings, remote or dispersed teams, and virtual product demonstrations are a great example of how Zoom can be used with teams.

My company currently uses Zoom Video Webinar for client calls and webinars. Since we have clients all over the country, it's helpful to create meeting invites using Zoom and be able to see their faces as we discuss their business. Plus, the screen sharing feature is very useful when displaying websites and other visuals to the client.
  • Meeting invites
  • Screen sharing
  • Sometimes clients have issues getting on the call
  • Audio can present issues at times
Zoom Video Webinar is beneficial if you have employees or clients in other areas and need to be able to see them face-to-face or to screen-share with them so they can view the same materials.

Zoom is often used to conduct television interviews for school administration as well as to conduct job candidate interviews. The products provide better video quality for interviews and a quicker process for those who are not technologically advanced. Aside from that, we have used it to record audio to share with others.
  • For news interview purposes Zoom has been amazing. Better than Skype even. Once it is installed into a device, no one has issues.
  • For voice recording and onboarding new staff. It is easy to use and has an attractive look.
  • The price is great for individuals but has heard complaints within the company about how the price does not make sense considering how little we use it.
  • Time limitations for meetings have made it a little difficult to work with especially with users in the company who are long-winded. It might be something on my end where I am not figuring out how the program works.
If you are an organization that uses video conferencing a couple of times a month, it will be a great fit. The interface of Zoom is easy to use and very user-friendly. This is good for podcasters too, as you are able to send links to participants very easily and at no cost to them.

We have a large group of audience/professionals across the globe. We need to connect on a business call to share the audio, video, and presentations. This helps in smooth transitioning of slides and clear audio for small and medium webinars or All Hands Meet. So this is a great substitute for ON24.
  • Zoom lets you play any streaming videos smoothly without any lag.
  • It helps a great option to record and archive important recordings.
  • If you have not attended a Zoom webcast, please plan to join five minutes early. Sometimes it takes time to get there.
  • You may be prompted to “Run” the program software, which sometimes takes over 3 to 5 minutes, and then only you will enter the Webcast.
Zoom webinar is well suited for AHMs, meetings across virtual locations, and wherever there is media streaming required. We have tried it with over 300 participants, and did not face any issues. As of now, we will be trying to use it for over 1000 external participants for broadcasting webinars in the near future.

We use Zoom to communicate with professional development teams to offer long-distance remote training to our staff. We also use it for hiring and interviews for potential employees who live out of state or on the other side of the mountain passes and cannot come to us easily. Very helpful for having multiple users at once!
  • Multiple users at once.
  • Easy interface.
  • Scheduling conference calls.
  • Becoming a little easier to use on the app.
  • Sharing documents in a meeting could be more smooth.
Zoom is very well suited for helping us coordinate and communicate with multiple teams that are working remotely. It's also very well suited for helping us interview potential employees who are located out of state.

Zoom is used on a weekly basis in my business. It is a very important tool in helping me to communicate and support my clients on a group level. I use it for group coaching twice a week and 1-2 times a month for workshops. This service allows me to gather people from all over the world into one convenient place, puts me in front of them, and records the instruction and interactions for later use.
  • Zoom is convenient and easy to use. This means I can use it easily, but also my clients appreciate that it's not very technical or hard to figure out. It works for everyone!
  • Zoom is affordable. I appreciate that I can use it for free up to so many minutes, and that I can have some free storage. I pay to use it for longer periods and this is affordable, too.
  • It's easy for my clients to create an account, access the meetings and join. They don't mind going to the effort of using a technical tool, so I am able to use this service often and it adds value to what I offer.
  • I hardly ever have technical difficulties, so it is reliable, which is very important to me!
  • I am able to switch screens to show my documents or slides. This is very nice in my workshops so that my attendees can follow along and understand better. I think it's easy to use!
  • I would like it if Zoom offered cheaper storage for my recordings. It is expensive. So we upload our recordings to YouTube.
  • I am happy with all other aspects of Zoom!
Zoom is great for so many uses. Someday I want to create a webinar on here, not just do workshops and group coaching. It's useful for me as a coach and useful for companies who have employees all over the US or the world to be able to meet in one central place. This is good for anyone who needs to meet face to face or even face to audio, and even better if they want the conversation or meeting recorded. I haven't found a way it is less helpful or less appropriate for myself, so I don't know anything about that.

My company is remote. Being remote doesn't mean there aren't any conversations happening. My team is constantly chatting through Slack, jumping on 1-on-1 meetings/team meetings in Zoom, and pushing updates to Asana. Zoom has been our go-to platform for video conference calls. Zoom Video Webinar is just as good, using the same technology to share our webinar to our audience of thousands.
  • Easy for the administrator to set up and get started.
  • Easy for participants to jump in. No configurations. It just works right out of the box.
  • Really easy interface with clear buttons/actions.
  • Fast and reliable.
  • It can get expensive with a large team.
  • Some features in Zoom Meeting aren't in the Zoom Webinar (and vice versa).
  • The analytical data you can get on your viewers isn't as good as GoToWebinar. The tradeoff is still that Zoom Webinar is a frictionless experience.
Some specific scenarios where Zoom Video Webinar is well suited would be for group training and presentation meetings.

For group training, it allowing participants to ask questions and presenting content without any hiccups. You can gauge the participation level and share content like PDFs/slides/etc. You can also invite additional hosts and have multiple cameras if you have a Q&A style session. I even know of colleges that use Zoom to connect multiple classrooms in different cities together.

For presentations with clients/companies - it just works! Any computer with access to a browser can get it to work - no messy configurations or long installs. I can share the zoom link with them and see them in the room within 2-3 minutes. Try that with Skype/GoToWebinar, and it'll take 10-15 minutes of installing, account creation, and other annoying setups. We can whiteboard, draw things out, share a screen with a Google Document... it's great.

Zoom Video Webinar isn't a replacement for live training. No technology is.

We use Zoom Webinar to collaborate as a team. We conduct Team Meeting and Client Facing meetings. This is a great tool for us to meet face to face while being miles apart. This is also a great way to share and review documents as a team and make edits in real time. A very valuable and efficient tool.
  • Great way to meet face to face with our internal team and with our clients.
  • We use this tool to share and collaborate on documents. Allows us to make real time edits.
  • Zoom is very user friendly and very few call in or user issues. Some of the other web conferencing tools we use often drop calls or have issues with sharing.
  • Notification of a when a new chat has been typed would be great. Often times there will be a chat and no one sees it.
  • Notification of updates that need to be done ahead of time would be great. It's always frustrating to have to do an update right before a call. Or allow individuals to still get on a call and then update after the call.
  • I don't have any other suggestions. I enjoy using zoom and I appreciate that we rarely have any connectivity issues.
Zoom is a great way to bring your team and or clients all to the same place, to meet in face to face without having to be in the same physical location. It allows for us to have the personal connectivity and to be productive as a team. It is especially great for weekly team meetings.

I use Zoom personally and my company uses it. We have mostly used it to recruit other agents and do eXp explained videos. I also use it to record myself making videos of powerpoint for other agents and clients to send to when they inquire about something. A lot of big agents also use it to do educational sessions once a week and I always try to attend and learn as much as possible. It makes it easier for our company to communicate throughout different states and countries.
  • One thing that is amazing about Zoom is that you can pull up a PowerPoint, use a laser or draw on it and then record yourself presenting it to people!
  • Another thing I love about Zoom is that you can schedule meetings and send out the ID for them so that people can mark it on their calendars and join if they want to.
  • One thing that Zoom does that I like is that every one that is on can have their face showing and talk or respond if they want to. You can chat with so many people at once from all over!
  • I'd love to see where you can make a personal meeting ID. I would like to be able to name my meetings so that people know what it is and its easier to put the ID number in.
  • I'd also like it if I'm not showing my face, my little screen goes away because I always think that my face is still being shown even if it isn't.
Zoom is very suited if you belong to a big company and either the employees are remote or you want to talk to people in different states. It definitely makes communication in big areas easy. It's also great if you're coaching someone. It may be less appropriate if it would be better to meet someone face to face because they will be working in your office or joining your team. I also think it's a little silly to use between family members as well.

Being a recruiter, we use Zoom for scheduling interviews of candidates. It's easy to generate a meeting ID using Zoom and we can share the link to the candidate for joining the meeting. Zoom can also be used to set up an audio discussion so it's helpful for both audio and video discussion, and another positive point is that we can use Zoom in audio mode even if other party is on video mode and vice versa.
  • Video interview meetings
  • Audio interview meetings
  • Screen sharing in meetings
  • Zoom is very easy to use for anyone who has or does not have knowledge, you adapt very quickly to its interface.
  • It takes time to connect through link.
  • I don't like the feature that Zoom doesn't tell me the count of calls I made on a daily basis. I have to manually count in the Zoom desktop app that I use.
In our organization, the main purpose of Zoom is scheduling interviews and meetings with the clients. I like Zoom Video Communications for several aspects, one of them is that you can make video conferences with your partners. It also offers the best video, audio and wireless display experience to share through Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Blackberry, and Linux. It is super fast and easy to use and it gives you a few days of premium testing so you can access the full use of Zoom.

Zoom Video has been amazing! We have been able to bridge a major communication gap with our client, and internally with our team.
  • Clear video and audio
  • Ability to quickly share screen
  • Easy to Use
  • Email Invites do not look great
  • Setting up a meeting can be a little confusing at times
It has been amazing for our small client base as it helps bridge some major gaps in communication since having it.

We use zoom to collaborate with external partners and colleagues. We use it for meetings, both audio and video, as well as screening sharing. It helps that we can use one platform for all types of sharing and connection.
  • Single platform.
  • Flexibility in audio/video.
  • Easy set up of meetings.
  • Recurring meetings.
  • Use of host passwords.
  • Calendar integration.
Zoom is good if you want to use all of its services, but it can be harder if you only want to use a few of them. For example, if you just want to have a voice call, it can be hard to set up without also including all the other options.

I use Zoom Video Webinar for client meetings and team meetings. Though Zoom Video Webinar, the presentation slides can be shared to other users. We use it for our regional company meeting, connecting with other offices across countries such as Japan, Thailand, Korea, Malaysia, and Singapore.
  • Zoom Video Webinar is easy to install and use. It is extremely user friendly.
  • Many apps can be integrated with Zoom. I integrated Google Calendar with Zoom to manage my schedule easily.
  • The quality of video streaming is much better than other similar vendors. It is rare to experience technical issues during video-based meetings.
  • Sometimes the users are inaudible. Like other video communication platforms, I need to exit and return back to the meeting to solve the problem.
I often call clients in different regions which have different time zones. It is easier to schedule a meeting using Zoom as I can directly use Zoom to login to my email account to schedule and send meeting invitations fast and easily. Zoom also supports mobile and dial-in that make the connectivity with clients easily.

The basic plan of Zoom has meeting limitations up to 40 minutes hence users need to upgrade their account for extended meetings.

We use Zoom for our business meetings, training sessions, and one on one reviews. It's what gets us together, as we all hail from various locations across the globe.
  • Virtual meetings - Our team is able to communicate face to face for weekly meetings regardless of our location.
  • Training sessions - The screen share feature plus the ability to record training sessions makes long-distance a non-issue.
  • Mobile option - Works on a desktop as well as through the mobile app, so meetings can happen wherever.
  • It does use a lot of bandwidth to run, and I have encountered issues with connectivity with the mobile app.
  • Previously there were some privacy issues that Zoom did not address initially. We even had a meeting hacked by someone trying to crash the party. Those issues seem to have been addressed with the most recent update.
Zoom seems to work well for smaller groups, where it is appropriate to speak in turn. Discussions with a large group or one that might have a lot of quick back and forth banter would not work as well.

We've used it in the marketing department to do webinars. It has been used sporadically by the HR department to do some webinars but in collaboration with Marketing.
  • Easy to set up
  • Super reliable
  • Great sharing features
  • The UI feels outdated
For any type of webinar-like event, it really works great. We have used it in very small webinars (less than 10 people) and also for larger ones (100+) where it works perfectly fine.

Zoom Video premium features available for free. Our PO, Engineering and Internal Comms departments use Zoom Video software for recurring meetings. Zoom makes it possible to share screens with others, view live screens and take on-demand decisions. It also allows us to record videos and allows the text chat during multiple people having a discussion. Moreover, meetings can also be integrated with external calendars. This is a very useful feature that helps manage team meeting schedules better.
  • Meetings can be integrated with external calendars that provides an advanced option to facilitate interactions when meeting starts, such as asking for a password to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Chat with other attendees and store relevant information about them in an address book inside Zoom
  • Screen share with others in a meeting while having the ability to record audio and video.
  • Share only a specific window or an entire desktop.
  • It is not convenient in Zoom Webinar that toolbar is not displayed properly when set at the bottom of the screen, as it only opens from top to bottom.
  • Main window can't easily be resized as some buttons will disappear and become unusable when there is a meeting going on.
Most features are very useful. I like the feature where scheduling new meetings with multiple options are presented to make it easy to obtain the desired behavior by default when launching a meeting. Screens can be shared and recorded during the meeting to make the discussion more effective. Some features that are less appropriate are that the main window when a meeting is happening can't easily be resized as some buttons will disappear and become unusable.

We use Zoom across every level and department in our organization. Since our organization is spread out across numerous offices around the world Zoom serves as an important collaboration tool. We use Zoom for video conferencing across teams, to present our screens in conference rooms, and to conduct company-wide meetings.
  • Screen sharing: Zoom enables users to seamlessly share their screen, chat through messages, and empowers listeners to virtually raise their hand when they have a question.
  • Mute all participants: Zoom can allow presenters to mute all participants and prevent their video feed from being broadcast
  • Works on any device: Users can log in from a computer, tablet, or smartphone
  • Some users outside the organization have complained about issues getting the Zoom links to work
  • Once in a blue moon, we have audio issues with Zoom, the video will work fine but sometime the audio will cut in and out
  • It would be great for mobile users to be able to select any user in a conference and see their video feed (instead of letting Zoom decide)
Zoom Video Webinar is a very versatile tool. Users can competently use it for team meetings, company all-hands, 1:1 interactions, screen sharing, presenting in conference rooms, or when a meeting could be aided through video with users outside the organization. With functionality on every device type, Zoom is a great solution regardless of where users are located.

We use Zoom meetings for all individual, team, and company-wide meetings that require bringing together employees, customers, vendors, etc. in different locations. I use Zoom daily as one of the many remote employees. All employees across the various countries in which we operate use Zoom, it is the recommended form of communication by our employer for all calls when possible.
  • High-quality sound and video.
  • Great mobile app for dialing in for video and or audio calls as needed.
  • Chat feature for larger scale calls to help manage questions and reducing talking over each other.
  • Individuals cannot turn on the feature to mute audio or video upon meeting entry, only the meeting organizer can change these settings.
  • We have had issues with larger meetings in which some participants are unable to enter, no resolution for the issue right now.
  • The sound in rooms can sometimes default to a high volume regardless of the volume left from the previous call.
It works well for medium to large companies that have employees distributed globally. We have noticed a significant reduction in long distance and international call expenses once the recommendation and enforcement to use Zoom for calls as often as possible went into effect. Overall, video meetings allow remote employees a more personal experience during conference calls than a traditional audio-only call would provide.
