  • Great video and sound quality.
  • Easy to use tools like whiteboards, annotators, chats, and to share the screen.
  • Easy to install and use across multiple devices, even at the same time, like be on a desktop and iPad at the same time.
  • Few dropped calls.
  • Um, I’m struggling here to think of something that could be improved here. I wish it were cheaper for some higher end services. But it’s a great product, so I can’t be mad about that.

  • It's a great way to connect around the world with minimal bandwidth consumption.
  • Meeting our peers and exchanging ideas is made possible through the use of high-quality video and audio calls.
  • Exceptional audio and video quality; we are recording meetings and transferring them to other storage.
  • Compared to other apps, it has more features and allows for efficient file sharing within the chatbox.
  • Sharing zoom complete information is not visible on the screen, and also a bit is confusing minimizing and maximizing.
  • Every time someone enters the chat, a chat box appears on my screen, and some features are missing from this version.
  • Automatic conference connection based on a schedule isn't an option, and neither is enhanced security measures.

  • Easy to use: the product is a lightweight install and even non-technical individuals can figure out how to use it.
  • Dependable: in the 5 years we've used it, I only recall one outage.
  • Quality: the quality of the audio/video is very good.
  • Communication: audio/video meetings and also a nice chat feature are included.
  • Recording: meetings can be recorded to a local computer or to the cloud.
  • The user interface in meetings needs improvement & could use more modern design elements, like the main Zoom window.

  • HD video
  • Chat
  • Rooms
  • Very good audio quality
  • You need an app to make the calls and meetings, but it would be perfect if it had a web-based option.
  • Sometimes when internet speed drops, the audio quality also drops; I would understand the video quality dropping, but the audio doesn't consume much bandwidth, so it would be nice to have a consistent audio even on low internet speeds.

  • It's simple to operate. Creating, joining, and using the tool is simple and requires no training.
  • The audio and video quality is excellent, and it makes it easy to meet with colleagues and have productive discussions about ideas.
  • It has a wide range of features that appeal to millennials and the next generation of users with an intuitive design.
  • If you're looking for a simple method of connecting with people worldwide, this is an excellent option. We've had problems with other web conferencing solutions, but not with Zoom.
  • More branding on webinars and a good connection to fully utilize the tool.
  • We can no longer access recordings or invite people directly to meetings.
  • There are too many buttons and unnecessary repetition of attendees who log in and out of reports.
