We recently began transitioning from Google Meet to Zoom Videoconferencing and Zoom Rooms company-wide. We were happy with Google Meet for a long time, until we started running into problems:
  1. Google Meet imposes a limit of 25 participants per video call and we started hitting it as the company grew
  2. Google Meet started crashing unexpectedly during the conference, especially when someone starts sharing their screen
We started looking for a more robust solution and Zoom was at the top of the list because of its reputation in the industry. We still use Google Meet and Slack calls for one-on-one meetings, but now almost exclusively use Zoom for group meetings.

We have various remote employees, and every morning our company does a 10-15 minute standup meeting. We use Zoom to call in remote employees via call or video conferencing to check in with those employees daily and maintain communication. We also use it to have frequent calls with clients and businesses.

We currently use Zoom for meetings and video conferences within the company. This involves meetings with our remote offices, employees in the same office/city as well as meetings with employees who are currently working from home.

We currently are deploying Zoom as our overall meeting software solution and a replacement for our complicated Polycom, GoToMeeting, Webex, Skype, and Vidyo mix of meeting solutions. We are also exploring the possibility of using Zoom Phones to replace our old Cisco lines. As time progresses we will be building more collaborative spaces, but for now we only deploy standard Zoom Rooms.

It's being used by the whole organization. 3 different departments use it individually for work:
- Customer success for onboarding/check-in calls
- Customer support for troubleshooting calls
- Sales for demos and enablement calls
- Product for user research calls
However, the entire company has accounts as we use it for any and all conferencing. We also use Zoom Rooms!

We are using Zoom primarily for meetings and lecture capture. The School of Pharmacy has two campuses--one in Oxford and the Medical Center in Jackson. Zoom is building a bridge to overcome our distance issues. We have faculty who can remotely join class sessions on either campus, reducing our cost for travel and lodging. We have students who can remotely join courses when issues prohibit them from being in the classroom. We have visiting contributors from other universities, industries, and medical centers who share their expertise. We meet with collaborative Faculty Learning Communities using Zoom. We connect with students to support academic growth through tutoring sessions live, remote access, and on-demand. We literally use Zoom for all Committee Meetings, Search Committee interviews, and training and development sessions. Zoom is everywhere in our organization.

We are in the process of rolling out Zoom to our whole county. So far it is making meetings and collaboration more efficient and productive. We are saving the county money by reducing travel time and we feel like we are bringing the county in line with current technology.

Zoom is being resold and used at my company. Zoom is the answer to driving efficiency and making the most out of virtual meetings. The collaboration tools are essential and help employees across the country work as if they were at the same desk.

We use it for multiple site training. We use it for connecting multiple sites in a region. We use it for small conference rooms as well as large training rooms. Zoom makes it possible to connect multiple offices all at the same time. We are able to share information across multiple offices at the same time.

Zoom is used by the entire org across thousands of users and conference rooms. It solves issues with communication and decision making throughout all orgs of the company. Zoom solves the issue where we aren’t collaborating unless we are in the office. This helps with allowing anyone to meet anywhere and at any time.

Zoom is the best video calling software which combines the sharing of content for personal as well as business meetings. Zoom software can be used worldwide with ease of access . It is easy to understand and can be used with already linked Google account. The interface of zoom is unbeatable with Hd video as well as audio calling feature.

At CZI, it is being used across the entire organization. It is the highest used platform as it solves one of our most crucial missions, which is to connect users so that they can collaborate in solving some of society’s most complex issues in the areas of medicine, education, and justice reform.

Zoom is being used at our community college for video conferencing and distributed, video connected classes. We previously used products by Polycom and Lifesize that were slow, cumbersome, outdated, and non scalable...so Zoom has replaced those technologies and given us a broader range of capabilities for our video conferencing needs.
