Yes, we use Zoom Rooms. Each coach in our company has a room, and we use this for meetings. We also use Rooms for team meetings, as well as company meetings, and they are utilized when a coach hosts a class. These rooms are also used to record various training modules and classes.

I exclusively use Zoom Rooms. I'm not sure I leverage any significant capabilities of it, but all of my meetings are "in my personal room." The basic web-conferencing functionalities are sufficient for me, but the quality is unmatched!

We have a few Zoom Rooms just starting to deploy, and so far they have been well received. How to initiate the call or record it to your account has taken some exploration because Zoom considers the room to be a user itself, so there has been a lot of work to maintain ownership of recordings appropriately.

Zoom Rooms has been a flawless experience. Our team likes this feature and tries to use it as much as possible. Our level of satisfaction is as high as the product itself. We just haven't had any issues with it and can count on the platform working when we need it to be working.

Thumbs Up For Zoom

Score 9 out of 10

It is very useful. There is an initial learning curve in assigning rooms to individuals, but beyond that, it is very helpful. When you are in a room, it's hard to inform the host of anything or ask question while in that room.

Zoom Rooms are great! The consistency and reliability of the rooms remain at the highest level. The consistent and reliability of the spaces is what makes the experience great.

Although the set up requires some expensive components, once the rooms are set up, everything pretty much is self-sufficient. The functionality of the equipment and of the spaces could not be any better!

We use Zoom Rooms for all-hands meetings, and to run webinars from static locations like conference rooms. I think there are easier to use programs out there for this functionality (i.e. more intuitive UI), but the fact that we already use Zoom and can have this tool through an existing product we use is great.

Zoom Rooms works as intended. It allows for anyone to easily schedule and start a meeting with not a lot of overhead. After the company set up the Zoom Rooms, conference room meeting setup has become a lot simpler, especially if a remote connection is required. Zoom Rooms gives a very professional feel to it without having to hire out or pay for another service.

Yes we do! We've just implemented our second Zoom Room with many more to come. They are super easy to use and require no user education. The configurations and equipment are robust and can be locked to to prevent accidentally meddling. With the equipment we are using the audio and video quality is exceptional!! We've started using zoom rooms (and Zoom in general) for some of our client on boarding and employee interview processes (which is huge!).
