Zoom is one of the most reliable and user-friendly video conferencing apps for teams or meetings for any business organization. The features of the app are very easy to understand and [are] very resourceful for sharing links, files, and useful information as well for operating efficiently in a remote work environment.

Zoom is used in my previous organization for client meetings and also internal communication with co-working colleagues. We need to pass the information and need to find the role of any unknown employee we could use the Zoom Application. Sudden meetings have been scheduled via zoom and it will show the employee Availability status also.

Zoom is very useful for our teaching profession person. It's very much used in conducting class, moderating exams, and so on. Now its widely use for our day-to-day life due to pandemics. When we conduct the class we are able to see all the members within a frame. So it is very much handy for managing and controlling the class and exam room.

My role as a technical engineer involves connecting with customers to understand their issues. Most of the time, I have experienced bandwidth problems when I use other applications, but Zoom hasn't lagged when I connect to customers.

It is easy to use and helps in scheduling meetings. It works seamlessly on different operating systems like Android, IOS, Windows. And the interface is also user-friendly. Especially in this Pandemic Zoom has become a solution to a number of problems like online video conferencing instead of meeting in a conference room. Overall Zoom is a good video conferencing software.

We use Zoom for online meetings. This enables a de-centralized team to meet together, provide program updates, conduct training sessions, and do strategic planning. Zoom meetings have been held throughout the year at various intervals.

For Distance Education or E-Learning, Zoom has been the best option to receive a virtual class and interact with other classmates, this has been a new challenge but at the same time exciting to adapt int the new technology. Zoom has met all the requirements to make us feel like if we were in a classroom.

I use Zoom to interact with clients. This includes setting up intro meetings for prospective clients and also weekly meetings for project status or planning. The most significant use of Zoom for me is through the delivery of workshops for clients. They range from 1-hour sessions to 8 hours a day.

Zoom is my go-to platform for client sessions. As a service-based business, Zoom has been absolutely integral to service delivery. In addition to delivering sessions, we have also used Zoom to attract leads to free webinars and to deliver workshops to groups. Zoom is a key tool in replacing in-person venues in order to run a fully virtual business.

I use Zoom for meetings within my company and professional development meetings with external groups. It is so easy to connect. Zoom remembers my information for selection when opening up the Zoom app. You can use it on the computer or phone and a tablet if you have one. Meetings can go on even if you are sitting behind a screen and can't meet in person. It is a great alternative and user-friendly. Zoom is a unique tool for communicating with co-workers in the Netherlands and Belgium for screen sharing and training. We had to implement an ERP system in Belgium over Zoom. Thankfully, the Netherlands was implemented 6 months prior and co-workers could travel 6 hours by train to the Belgium office to provide additional on-site support while we were in the US virtually working through the integration and initial bugs. It wasn't the ideal situation, but [it was] the best we could do under the travel restriction circumstances.

Zoom is integrated into our organization for meetings, collaboration, and also delivery of online classes. This was a requirement at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and has since replaced our institution-wide video conferencing tools.

Over the last few years, Zoom has become one of my go-to tools for video conferencing and group meetings. Simply put, it’s easy to use and understand. With this, we can communicate face-to-face, and we can rely on its reliability and integrity. We’ve used it for various online workouts, as well as for webinars and other web-based events. My official meetings and conversations with friends and family are made more accessible because it’s so simple to use. People from all over the world can now talk to each other via Zoom’s global reach. Users experience technical difficulties other than making sure they are using the correct video and audio input. We employed it for remote coworkers as well.

Zoom is used by our teams to communicate with clients/customers/teams outside of our organization to which we cannot connect because of organizational security and restriction on connecting people out of the organization. Among the multiple options available on the market, Zoom has proved to be the best communication channel. In addition to managing day-to-day tasks, Zoom can be used for client meetings, standing meetings, walkthroughs, etc. Besides the usual features like recording, screen sharing, chat, live streaming, etc., it has additional features which any communication channel should have.

We use Zoom for any and all remote meetings, and even in separate rooms while in the office during COVID times. It allowed us to all connect even when we couldn't be together in person and gave us the ability to share our screens and collaborate on projects easily. Everyone in our office uses it and it helped keep us moving forward when times got tricky.

We use Zoom on a daily basis to conduct meetings between our internal team, current clients, and prospects. It allows us to connect face to face, and we can rely on its consistency and quality. We've used it for online events, webinars, and even online training. It has such a consistent platform, that allows us to be creative within its constraints.

Our organization is located around the globe. Zoom ensures we can communicate effectively across all locations. The video and audio quality is extremely good, even on slower connections. The product is easy to use and intuitive, so our end-users rarely have technical issues other than making sure their correct audio/video input is selected.
We also utilize Zoom for distance learning. We have multiple sites set up with Zoom classrooms for teaching/learning.

Zoom is used as an app for collaboration and communication for [our organization and others like it] in Balkan. It is an easy-to-use option compared to other platforms, and it perfectly solves the main necessities of video and audio conferencing, collaboration, chat which is a must other competitors offer those services also.

Using Zoom for communication is an excellent idea because of the high quality of the service. It has an intuitive interface that makes it easy to use for beginners. We can have unlimited one-on-one meetings or group meetings with up to 100 participants and 40 minutes per session. Screen sharing allows multiple people to share their screens simultaneously, which is excellent for collaboration. The fact that I'm in a different time zone or country doesn't stop me from using Zoom because it saves me time. With the help of this tool, I reduced the amount of time I spent emailing my clients. It provides consistent services and helps me schedule meetings.

In our organization we've been using Zoom meetings app for a long time and it helped a lot with our board meetings and team discussions. Best thing about the Zoom is it doesn't take much of a bandwidth to work and performs perfectly under any circumstances. Video and audio quality is also good and we can keep them recorded to watch later.
