  • The business has been able to save a lot of additional costs by integration Zoom to the workers.
  • People have less stress because they don't have to travel for work, or worry about traffic because they can just open their laptop, computer or mobile device and start the meeting.
  • The downside is that not everybody has access to the internet or a laptop or mobile device.

  • It's allowed for me to do screen sharing sessions with clients and vendors!
  • Zoom helped us review a new product via screen sharing, which gave us the necessary insight we needed to make a business decision to move forward with a new chat program.
  • Saves me time when scheduling meetings. They just need to click the link instead of entering in codes and other junk.

  • More professional - If your conferencing software works on sales calls it just makes everything go more smoothly
  • Time savings - Saves time in scheduling as well as executing calls. No one has to fumble to make it work, which wastes call time. With other solutions we may lose 10 minutes of a 30 minute call while people make the software work
  • Call review - Now we have saved and named recordings of all of our calls to review when needed, hosted in the cloud.

  • We saved on gas and time by not having many face to face meetings.
  • People are able to collaborate while being situated in different states or counties.
  • We also use it as a hiring tool to screen candidates who are situated in places where we don't have a regional office.

  • Zoom has had a huge impact on our classes using video conferencing - the use of Zoom minimizes the barrier of technology more than any other technology I use. People connect with each other, teach and learn and collaborate seamlessly. It's a beautiful thing.
  • The ease of use that Zoom offers has improved our culture of remote inclusion in meetings. If only the whole university system would adopt it!
  • For our training sessions, it is now a common practice to include a Meeting ID in invitations and send out recordings as well.

  • Our meetings became more efficient and effective because we now spend a lot less time dealing with technical issues like poor AV quality, calls dropping/app crashing, etc.
  • Improved collaboration between the presenter and the audience because the presenter can see other participants' video.
  • Improved knowledge sharing thanks to the call recording feature which is useful for training sessions and all-hands.
