Overall Satisfaction with Zoom

Zoom is used across our team and has been a super simple solution to complex support issues and virtual meetings. It is easy to use, forces all users to download the applet so passing presenter role, etc., is really easy. There is a permanent link you can send to all your meeting attendees every time.
  • Video stream
  • Passing presenter role
  • Recognition of poor connection
  • Making it easy to share screens
  • Making the meeting link personal like zoom.com/yourname/meeting
  • Knowing which screen is actively being used
  • Local RAM usage
  • Positive: easy screensharing with all involved parties
  • Positive: consistent sharable meeting link
  • Positive: easy to use platform
No, I do not use Zoom rooms. I would be interested in learning more though!
The main difference and why Zoom has been the best fit for our team is the ability to pass the presenter role to anyone in attendance and they can share their screen without having to go through an elaborate download and re-entry process like essentially all their competitors. Google Hangouts is the closest but their consistency doesn't match that of Zoom. It's been a great service.
Where zoom is well suited:
- Support calls/demos where it is important for all involved parties to share screens
- Ability to easily

Where zoom is less appropriate:
- large scale meetings with 50+ attendees. The bandwidth discrepancies can cause serious lag depending on who is screensharing. I've had connection issues a couple times with large groups.
