Keeps closing and crashing with no errors and Zoom support can't fix it. Therefore it is not usable. We have lost revenue due to Zoom's terrible performance.

As online meetings where limited to Skype only before Pandemic, now Zoom captured very big market in short time by providing features which are desire for consumers. It gives same feeling like you are in conference room for meeting. PPT presentation , Q& A session, Attendance provides good environment. You can take more than 15 members which was limitations to other platforms.

Zoom is made for the non tech office. It has features that can be made to do what you need to run things on a day to day basis. Immediately we we able to get meetings going with remote employees. The ability to be able to add smartphone connected people was a big plus. Zoom met our needs at the time.

It is very easy to use. The application is user-friendly and you can test everything in an empty room. The most frequently used features are conveniently placed and well organized. The Zoom team has done a good job putting everything in place so that the user can quickly and efficiently visualize and select the right action.

Zoom is still the best

Ease of use for everyone under the age of 65 is what I would say is accurate, the difficulty of people understanding the mute button has been a center of humor, and adding filter issues or now different backgrounds can create some challenges for older users. That being said, I would say that Zoom is quite easy to use and interface with.

It is very easy to schedule new meetings and click on the links for the meetings you are invited to. Zoom makes it very easy for users of all ages to access the platform and use their services.

There are some elements of the platform’s more detailed features that require experimentation and some acclimation. That being said the core features and the security features are excellent and very easy to use. The core service of providing a communication platform is instantly accessible and the paid features are easy to identify and use as well. Overall it provides everything as advertised and does not require a significant learning curve to begin using at all.

Overall zoom is easy to use but its interface is not easy to the eye. its color theme is very dull but although it is a great platform for connecting across the globe virtually. It also offers good customer support to its consumers and the free trial version is more than enough for small-scale businesses.

The calendering auto-fill can visually look overwhelming with all of the different phone numbers and codes. For someone who doesn't know what they are looking for, this can be a challenge. Most people I have interacted with seem to move past it. But I have concern for those who might have issues reading it and being to get on critical Zoom call successfully.

Zoom has been very good in terms of usability as I have rarely had issues joining the meetings on desktop and it has always provided me with a stable audio and video and it makes it very easy for me to get through any meetings without much problem. I have found that it helps create a very friendly environment with my team through the creation of conferences and moderated chat rooms.

It has satisfied in both individual-level and organization. Zoom has always helped my joining meetings with just a calendar reminder, which ahs never let me join late. It has provided multiple options like screen sharing, screen recording which helps in attending missed seminars, document sharing, background filters, polling, voting, integration of multiple other apps.

Zoom makes it very comfortable for any remote team to meet and work together in a remote workspace environment. Members can share files in the chat, communicate easily with their peers, and share screens to ideate and brainstorm. The overall features and user-friendliness of the app/tool combined with minimum defects and problems make it worthy of a top-rated app.

Overall thing is that this software is very much helpful for any kind of meeting and presenting. It is also very useful for better communication. People always want better service without any hassle. For this reason, I think the zoom app is very much helpful for our day-to-day life.

Zoom is very easy to use, especially after one becomes familiar with the terminology that Zoom uses. For example, when I first wanted to record a video, I did not know that this was also referred to as a "meeting." Otherwise, Zoom is very easy to use.

Once I learned where the features and controls were, it was a very easy program to use. I have both participated in meetings and hosted sessions with Zoom. In fact, my second time using Zoom was as a host. It was very easy to set-up the meeting and invite people. I am glad that I now have access to this program.
