Zoom- Best Online Platform for Interactions
Frustrated by Zoom's poor UX that doesn't improve over time. Annoyed that it forces you to install updates at the worst possible time--right before a meeting :-/

(1-25 of 370)- It works all the time
- It is simple to use
- Audio quality is the best of all the programs we have used
- Video quality is the best of all the programs we have used
- Zoom is just starting with Ai. It would be good to be able to customize the meeting summary prompts
- Better integration with ZohoCRM, so that SMS messages can be logged as well as phone calls.
ZOOM is miles ahead of the game.
- Breakout rooms.
- AI Summary.
- Recording of Sessions.
- Annotate could be more visible, often first time users have difficulties locating it.
- Wide range of customizable account settings, both for the whole company and at the individual level
- Easy to use in-meeting settings, flexible options for sound and image devices, screen sharing and views
- Quick and simple recording option with clear warning for all participants
- The need for an installed app and the joining process is complicated for one-time users, specially if they're not tech savvy.
- The settings are poorly organized, hard to find and understand, especially being so varied
- The application often consumes a lot of machine resources, which causes performance issues
Get More Done with ZOOM!!
- Editing, trimming and downloading recordings is simple
- Popping out the chat, and screensharing just keep getting better.
- registration, reporting, transcript searchability - all very user friendly
- AI Companion and Summary are game changers!!
- You can't see participants when screensharing
- Anyone with the link should be able to start the meeting (like Teams)
- Copy Summary into a downloadable Word document.
How Zoom has helped my day-to-day operations
- Screensharing with annotations
- Presenting
- Large meeting groups
- AI tool could be a little more fine tuned and generate summaries faster
- I don't enjoy closing extra browser tabs when opening meetings

Zoom- Best Online Platform for Interactions
- Presentation mode
- Meetings
- Zoom call
- Quality of call when [number] of participants are more than 15+
- Feature of notes for all members
- Background noise filtration
Zoom met our needs during difficult times.
- Simplicity in administering meetings
- Stable platform whether using it on a PC or ipad or phone
- The ability to save meeting formats was helpful, We didnt have to re-do everything each time
- For me the sharing of a desktop for instructional purposes was more difficult than I expected.
- Zoom is not the low dollar application. They need to rethink their pricing sructure.
Zoom for Students, Employees, and All
- Team rooms
- Screen sharing
- Fun backgrounds
- Access needs to be granted each time for non-meeting owners
- Need to wait 10 min between creating new Zoom call links in the free version
Use M.Teams if you can instead and save your money.
We had about 2 months where the passwords of our 2 regular Zoom rooms was mysteriously changing. After 6 weeks liaising with Zoom staff, which was an absolute headache, they are still unable to isolate or even understand the basics of the problem. Rather than taking the information I gave them and looking for the problem, each email Was like a fight with me trying to explain to them that I was not scheduling on Zoom I was merely using the same Zoom rooms for the last two years and I have not done anything.
So there I was using two Zoom rooms regularly for about two years and all of a sudden we hit a 1 month period where the password was just changing for no apparent reason. Would you believe I spent 6 weeks trying to get staff and 3 different staff members to understand this sentence! All of our attendees report intermittent problems with Zoom, especially when its update time, I look forward to changing Microsoft team seems to be the best alternative.

- Can work in and outside China

- staff cant problem solve or understand english
A brilliant video conferencing app
- Host Controls
- Video Quality
- Screen Sharing
- Security
- Audio quality
- Consumption of internet bandwidth
- It allows us to connect with each other and customers easily and quickly by simply sending a link.
- It is user-friendly.
- It has a lot of options when holding a meeting (breakout rooms, screen sharing, recording, etc.).
- It would be nice if the 40 minute time limit weren't an issue.
- The customer service hasn't always been great.
Seamless Connectivity For Video and Audio Sessions
- Better video quality.
- Virtual background.
- I can arrange a collective session with more [than] 5 people. By the way, I use it for counseling and group therapy sessions.
- So many controls, sometimes I get confused.
- Audio clarity.
- Copy-paste option to the customer's screen.
- Clarity with even less data bandwidth.
- Easy to use.
- Minimizing and maximizing the screen is a bit confusing
- At times, the meeting invites accepted in outlook does not show up in the zoom application.
- I would prefer if the app is always signed in,
A Great Solution, worth every penny
- Single Sign On - Intergation with our Active Directory
- Incredible video/audio quality
- Settings to limit abuse by participant
- Recording quality could be improved
- Auto-update could be improved. We had to manually update some clients from unsupported versions of the software
Easy to Sign Up / Difficult to Cancel
- Signing Up
- Access to Features and Services
- Billing Credit Card on Timely Basis
- Moving my open ticket around with the organization to hide the fact it is not resolved
- Canceling your subscription if your email is not accessible is problematic
- Chatbot is not helpful
- Support does not return replies in a timely basis
Zoom lives up the hype
- Instant chat/messager tool
- Meeting with large group of people
- Integration with other tools
- Zoom uses huge amount of computer resources such CPU and memory. For computers without advanced hardware, this cause a lot of issue
- Zoom should allow users to adjust their quality of video and other settings according to their computer hardware.
- We'd like to see a more lightweight Zoom which has more simple UI and consume less system resource.
Zoom need to improve the ability for real time collaboration, such as whiteboard.
- Video and audio quality
- Integration with other tools
- Screen recording and virtual whiteboard
- Security and privacy concerns
- User interface
- Customization options
Zoom is a great option for virtual meetings, particularly those with a large number of participants or those with participants in different time zones.
For meetings that deal with highly sensitive information, other tools may be more appropriate to ensure greater security and confidentiality.
Connectivity at It's Finest
- Video
- Screen drawing
- Managing multitudes
- Connectivity performance
- Driving mode
- Chat feature
- Stability for phone app
- Apple Pen precision
Zoom provides great bandwidth on calls.
- Mute audience.
- Simple to use.
- Provides options for communication.
- More background filter options.
A good product for large-list meetings on a company level.
- The integration with Google Calendar works seamless
- The recordings feature works super well for user interviews
- The possibility to invite large list of attendees its super convenient
- The fact that your logged in information has the tendency to be erased makes it annoying every time you open the app.
- Since we dont use workplace in my company, we are missing of the benefits of the integrations it provides
However, the fact that you need to install an app to use it and the constant request for re-login makes it feel a bit like an old-school piece of software. Nowadays all of these types of products are mostly "web-based" without the need for any potential installation.
Zoom experience is good experience
The Video/Audio Quality was very nice and it never disappointed. So easy adaptability of Zoom gave us that confidence to carry on our work without any delays.
- Audio/Video Calling
- Meeting Schedules
- Webinars
- Content sharing
- Easy Integrations with Email servers
- Calendar Invites
For Bigger organizations where they want to be more specific about controlling the audience like chat controls, limit the use of some words, Mobile application is not that friendly. Plus i read online that security might be a concern. It did not effect us, but maybe for organizations with more concerns about it do need to check in details.
The best Online Meeting Provider.
- User Friendly for any user.
- Good Video quality on calls.
- Good tech support.
- Mobile App needs upgrading.
- Fonts should be a little bigger.
- Need better options for iOS devices.
