Overall Satisfaction with Zoom

I used Zoom as the main video conference tool during my time at University for class work and in extracurricular club collaboration. Especially in the height of Covid-19, Zoom was the platform I spent the majority of my working day on. We used Zoom for serious collaboration as well as for networking or team bonding activities that allow individuals to get to know each other further.
  • Team rooms
  • Screen sharing
  • Fun backgrounds
  • Access needs to be granted each time for non-meeting owners
  • Need to wait 10 min between creating new Zoom call links in the free version
  • Can have long meetings uninterrupted
  • Integrate meeting link with google calendar
With Zoom, the audio and video quality surpasses the quality of Microsoft Teams and Google Meet. The biggest benefit of Zoom is screen share. You can select which tabs you want to show your audience and once your screen is shared, you can still view the video of others in the call. I cannot say the same about the other two video conferencing platforms. When I share my screen on Google Meet, I no longer can see the other people on the call.

Zoom is very well suited for large meetings when you plan to create break out sessions. The organizer can easily select the number of meetings within the main meeting required and can customize which participants are in each room. Zoom is also well suited for 1:1 meetings. The video quality is high and have very few issues with video and audio connection and quality.
