Very Powerful and Affordable Video Conferencing Toolset
- With Zoom we can both SEE and hear the other person(s) with whom we're communicating.
- The screen sharing tools in Zoom make it much easier for everyone to share their screens, compared to Join.me which makes is mostly easy for the presenter to share their screen.
- I participate in a growing number of online video "hangouts" in which many participants share ideas and help, and the tools in zoom such as screen sharing and chat tools make it easier and more effective for the participants in those group meetings.
- Zoom's onscreen controls that appear during screen shares frequently end up being in the way. While it's not hard to move them manually with the mouse, it would be nice for there to be an option where those controls might automatically move out of the way when the mouse is moved such that it's hovering over them.

Zoom review
- Easy to use and set up
- Great video and audio quality
- Can share screens with multiple users
- Occasionally has technical issues.
- Sometimes we have bandwidth usage issues
January 22, 2018
Zoom - probably the best collaboration software you're not using
- One of the things I think Zoom does very well is the VOIP feature. I have several different audio peripherals on my PC and many solutions I've used seem to struggle when selecting/switching between them. So when I discover a solution that works well it makes an impression.
- I find Zoom's feature set to be spot on. It has everything I need in a simple user interface. But it leaves out things that I'd likely never ruse and clutter up the UI.
- I normally can come up with at least one area for improvement with anything, but to be honest - I just can't here. It's a solid solution.
- Video conferencing
- Multi-device conferencing
- Screen sharing
- Defaults to video first which many individuals do not like
- Desktop app can be cumbersome, especially on multiple monitor setups
- Some of the controls are non-intuitive at first (but you'll learn them quickly enough)

Smooth Meetings, Zoom is best.
- Zoom is Best for the single user as well as multiple users to broadcast.
- Zoom is cost-efficient and reliable in terms of quality.
- As an industry leader, Zoom has moved our organization into the confidence of service delivery at its best.
- For payments, multi-currency must be required.
- There are possibilities for improvement in UI and UX.
- More flexible plans would be nice

Zoom is great, when it's working
- Very convenient
- High quality video
- Easy to schedule and set up meetings on their platform
- The Zoom Rooms are extremely error prone.
- We very commonly have technical difficulties.
- Not sure how to even contact support.
- People who aren't sitting close to the microphone are difficult to hear on the other end.
- Zoom's video and sound quality is very superior to other similar products.
- Their integration into your email calendar which allows you to easily add in the conference link and corresponding numbers is very useful and convenient.
- Their portal is a bit more robust than similar products, allowing you to join, schedule, share your screen as well as organize your contacts and the ability to chat as well.
- We have had some connectivity issues with Zoom. Conference calls dropping off, as well as some issues while trying to share your screen.
- The need to input a meeting ID to join the conference call is not ideal. This adds additional time and steps, whereas other products allow you to join seamlessly as long as you have been provided the meeting link or number.

January 05, 2018
Zoom is better than all the rest
- The video feature is great and easy to use.
- Their connection process is much easier.
- The fluidity of their platform is easy to use and aesthetics are nice.
- When other notifications on your computer pop-up during the call it can mess up with Bluetooth headsets.
- If you are logged into your own Zoom account and try to open another one sometimes it won't connect correctly.

Best screen share software for fast-paced SaaS companies
- Easy to share your screen or pass screen share controls to others without large downloads needed.
- The admin dashboard is vital to our success. It allows our admins to diagnose any connection issues live and troubleshoot the cause in real time.
- Customizable settings. All of our employees use Zoom for different purposes. The Customizable Settings allow employees to turn off video, mute participants upon joining, store recordings in the cloud, have virtual backgrounds for calls, and more. Each employee can choose their own meeting experience based on their needs and their client's needs.
- Fortunately, I have not found anything that has been hard to use or missing for my experience with Zoom

Stop dreading video conferencing
- Dedicated meeting ID to share with attendees
- High quality video
- Phone number for dial-in
- Recording
- Zoom tries to be too smart with "mobile usage". I was sitting in my car, parked, and it kept trying to mute me (to block out ambient noise). Very distracting!
- Ideally, others should be able to start recordings.
December 06, 2017

- Video conferencing
- Meeting initiating and joining
- Chat
- Mobile or desktop platforms.
- Video quality
- Camera adjustments with lightning
- Noise cancellation

Zoom- Always comes through
- Screen Share
- Polls
- Internet Connectivity
- Shifting between screen shares
- Video Conference ID is sometimes difficult for people to locate and connect
- Some of the interface can feel a bit outdated
November 21, 2017
Zoom is efficient to use!
- The strengths of Zoom is that it is efficient & easy to use.
- Being able to record is very beneficial!
- I love the share screen feature.
- If I go over by a few minutes, it would be nice to be able to end my own meeting, rather than the meeting ended for me because i went over the designated time.
- When internet is unstable, the screen freezes.
- It would be nice if the recording could be a smaller size to upload on Facebook immediately, rather than having to compress it with a different program.

Zoom Offers Simplus Enhanced Team Collaboration
- Easy to use interface.
- Allows you to see the people you are speaking to.
- Easy screensharing and chat features.
- Requires good bandwidth.
- It still makes me shake my head at how robust this format is and all the features it provides for such an insanely affordable service/expense for my business!
- The ongoing training and rescourses that Zoom offers for the success of all its users is impressive! Never have I felt more supported with a product and confident that any concerns will be addressed swiftly and effeciantly!
- The product for webinars is pricy for a small business owner...if that could be adjusted for small business that would be a huge benefit and not only myself but many global clients I have would begin using that format as well, if the price was adjusted.

Quick Review of Zoom
- The video and audio work well
- It is easy to schedule a meeting.
- Sharing computer screens
- I could use a user guide to give to people whom I want to talk to via Zoom. Sometimes they are not aware they can check their audio and video, and I need to explain how via chat.
- The webinar version is too expensive so I have not used that yet.
November 10, 2017
Zoom speeds up my meeting opportunities
- One of the things it does very well is allow screen sharing so that we can work on the same materials at the same time.
- Another thing it allows is for us to build relationships far more effectively than any other means except in person. It is prohibitively expensive for us to fly all of our regional directors to the same location more than once a year.
- I'm not sure this is a Zoom issue, but one of the problems we periodically have is sound distortion. The only way we have been able to cope with it is to have everyone mute their mike until it is their turn to speak, or until they want to say something.
- When using screen share with multiple choices I find that when I have finished a YouTube video presentation I want to go back to another element of screen share, such as a document, it is difficult to find precisely where to shut down the one presentation so that I can pick up immediately with the document on screen share. This might be more a YouTube issue, as it happens to me most of the time when I'm coming off a YouTube presentation.
November 10, 2017
My Love for Zoom!
- Brings people together easily & it's free for those attending my meetings.
- Allows me to record and share my meetings with those who couldn't attend.
- Allows me to share PowerPoints etc., with the shared screen, again, very easy!
- I am pleased with how it works!
November 08, 2017

Make your business boom with Zoom!
- Screen sharing
- Video of multiple attendees
- Recording
- Identifying audio lines with background noise
November 03, 2017
Hands down the best conference app out there
- Discipleship, interaction
- Follow up on people even if they are o\in another state or country
- Outreach over the video conference
- Screen sharing is not intuitive
- Attendees on room email, should also have an option to send text message to an stores cellphone for the notifications.
- Screen where shows a circle with the inside text says “Done Speaking” it should be like keeping press for several seconds before stopping by touch, sometimes I use a cellphone connection as a mic and put my smartphone on my pocket and it keep stopping my connection.
November 03, 2017
Easy to use
- It's intuitive and pretty easy to use. I have a Google Chrome extension that I use that makes it really easy to set up a call on Google calendar. It's really slick.
- The only thing that's a little confusing to me is they give me several different numbers I can call to access the conference line. I don't get why there are so many. It would be less confusing if there were only one number to call.
