Works great for running webinars
On the marketing team, we use Zoom Workplace for running our webinars. I like that it allows multiple people on our team to use the product and the webinar features are pretty intuitive so it's easy to learn and adopt as we grow our marketing team. I also like that the webinar attendee cap is larger than most vendors.
- Easy to use and learn
- Settings are clear and easy to understand as an admin
- Allows for easy adoption across team members
- For webinars, more interactive capabilities other than polls
- For webinars, allowing us to block registrants by company name and not just email domain as we have to spend time looking up the domain
Our organisation uses Zoom for remote communication and collaboration. We use it for Google calendar integration and slack integration for meetings and collaboration. Zoom is also used for training and development with features like webinars and breakout rooms

Game Changer
We host our monthly webinars on Zoom Workplace, and find that it's the ideal platform to host something like this on. We enable Q&A features but want to ensure that only panelists can see questions, and Zoom Workplace has been great for that.
- The ability to hide questions from participants
- The ability to record the webinars on demand
- Sending out reminder emails to panelists and participants
- The on-demand recording doesn't always work. For example, our last webinar was not recorded due to a technical issue.
- The invites can be confusing for people who aren't very tech savvy. Sometimes the invite includes too much information, including the "dial-in" numbers that can detract from the link itself.

Great Suite of Applications for Communication
We use Zoom Workplace for internal and external meetings as well as customer-facing webinars. We use Zoom Phone and Zoom Contact Center for customer support and external business discussions. Zoom Workplace helps us stay connected with our co-workers and our customers as an all-remote company.
- Webinars and webinar attendee statistics are an absolutely breeze with Zoom Workplace.
- Zoom Workplace meetings are easy to spin up and make meetings easier and better to attend than alternatives that our productivity suite offers.
- Zoom Phone is so much easier to set up than a traditional VOIP system and works much better.
- SSO should be a free feature on all paid plans, and not gate-kept behind the most expensive ones.
- Setting up Zoom Contact Center required a professional services engagement. This was disappointing as our team was chomping at the bit and ready to implement without PS.

We needed a platform that could meet all the requirements of our stakeholders for our annual Results Announcement and Interim. After comparing our options, we found that Zoom, along with their event team, was the best choice. We have been utilizing their services for over three years now, and even after evaluating the competition, we still believe that Zoom is the superior option.
- Ensure discretion of users
- Live interpretation with operator
- uptime

Glassdoor has been fortunate to partner with Zoom Events & Webinars and Zoom Events Services over the past few years for our Sales Kick-off and Summit events for our Go-to-market teams. Our SKO events are virtual and we needed a way to manage the event at scale. Additionally, no one on our team had a background in running virtual events on a platform so the Services team is our lifesaver and partner!

Zoom Webinar, Best in class, nothing better
We've been using Zoom Webinars since 2014. Everything from Director's Quarterly meetings to major company announcements to DEIB events. We average at least two major webinars per week, sometimes as many as eight per week, all conducted under Zoom. Attendance ranges from just a few hundred to over 1500. There simply isn't a better platform for mass one-to-many video communication.
- Simple user experience--very intuitive for attendees to join, interact with Q&A
- Adaptable and feature rich--very easy to set up Webinars for different use cases with features like registration, Q&A, practice session, HQ video, branding and virtual backgrounds, polls/quizzes, post-surveys, breakouts, resources, production studio, FB/YT Live, captions/translation, etc
- Aesthetically pleasing--new branding options (such as webinar wallpaper, custom backgrounds, and name tags), plus the recent addition of the Production Studio feature, means it's easier than ever to produce beautiful and appealing webinars.
- Panelists, practice session, and backstage--Zoom makes it easy to set up webinar panelists ahead of time, and get them into the room early for a practice session. The new backstage option is even more powerful than the practice session feature.
- The bleeding edge--Zoom is continually adding powerful new features for Webinar rooms, where other programs leave you with the same ol' stagnant feature set.
- I wish there were more polling options available in Zoom in general, and this extends to both webinar polling and post-webinar surveys. Could certainly do with a more robust polling feature set.
- Setting up Registration for Zoom webinars can be very tricky, and I usually advise against webinar registration. The fact that users have to manually download an .ics to add it to their O365 calendars after registering means lots of issues with users attempting to join after registering early.
- I would have complained about lack of breakout rooms for webinars, or the fact that the practice room can't be turned back on after it was turned off, but Zoom recently implemented webinar breakout rooms plus the Backstage feature, so both of these common complaints are now fully addressed!

Zoom Webinars For The Win
We use Zoom Webinars for a twice weekly educational webinar series for our internal teammates. We also use it for events held for our customers. Zoom Webinars allows us to easily schedule, manage, and run our webinars with ease. We love the ability to create and save templates to speed the setup process, customizing email reminders, and using their suite of collaboration tools during the webinars.
- Ease of webinar setup
- Webinar templates
- Reporting
- Collaboration Tools
- I will we could add registration disclaimer language to the Webinar templates.
- Some of the customization and setup features are difficult to find.
- I would like to add someone to help me run webinars without paying for them to have their own webinar platform. We should be able to buy one platform and both of us log into it and setup and run webinars from it.

We stayed connected as a team which improved performance and productivity thanks to Zoom Webinars.
Zoom Webinars were particularly useful and helpful during the COVID pandemic lockdown. We conducted training sessions and attended official conferences using Zoom. We stayed connected as a team which improved performance and productivity.
- Easy to use.

- Good audio and video quality.
- End to end encryption could be improved.

Zoom Events is the LEADING virtual and hybrid events platform
I am a technical producer for virtual and hybrid events. We mainly use Zoom and Zoom Events for virtual and hybrid events productions. Some productions also include vMix/Blackmagic/multicam.
- Very quick and easy to set up a multi-day/concurrent session event
- Assign host/alt host permissions for speakers and support staff to start and run their own sessions
- Livestream to lobby for easy admin management
- Simulive for automatically playing out pre-recorded content as if live.
- Production Studio for more professional looking productions
- Option to automatically move participants to next session
- Broadcast message to concurrent sessions (breakout room like functionality)
- Improved Expo and Networking functionality (they are a bit basic now)

Zoom Events -- Much more than a collection of Meetings and Webinars
I use Zoom Events primarily to host virtual events for clients whose needs demand something more than "just a meeting or a webinar". Clients who have conference-like, multi-day, multi-session events see Zoom Events as an opportunity to "scale up" their event without huge expense. While Zoom Events can accommodate hybrid events, those come with a degree of complexity that can be expensive. Many of my clients are staying with annual virtual events or alternating onsite and virtual events, with some wanting to convert their small-scale onsite events to hybrid. I've used Zoom Events for groups as small as 50 and as large as 800 (an upcoming event will be 1,200+), and once you learn the event configuration process, any event is easy to configure -- once you have your event details down on paper or in spreadsheets. A lot of it can be imported with CSV with no hand data-entry.
- Easy data entry using imported CSV files
- Full speaker and session images and text, with individual itineraries for attendees.
- Duplicate the structure and format of an existing event for your next event, or create an event template to easily replicate future events
- Automated language caption translation on-the-fly for a growing list of languages
- Like most Zoom products, Zoom Events is actively being improved and updated. The release cycle is monthly, which means event planners need to keep up with changes.
- While Zoom Events also works for in-person only events, this will require a certain mind-set shift to work well for many organizations.
- There is a core group of small business Zoom Events users who can provide help to new-comers, and an increasing number of helpful on-boarding resources, but Zoom Tier 1 support still starts out with the most pedantic questions; it's difficult to reach someone who can really help you with a difficult problem if you are not a large Zoom customer.
- Professional Services is available from Zoom, but it the cost is out of reach of most small businesses and non-profit organizations.

Zoom for Events

We used to use Zoom all the time - with the start of the pandemic it came in very handy. I worked events and with the pandemic and the resulting limit on events we began to use Zoom and continued to use Zoom post pandemic so to be able to still carry out our events but not in person and on a more efficient and economical level. Zoom allowed us to continue to engage our donors and friends with events despite the changing environment.
- Zoom rooms are particularly helpful especially in breakouts and allowing event attendees to get to know one another
- Zoom is easy to use when I need to record an event or presentation so that I can share and engage with donor and friends who cannot attend
- Presenting via zoom is easy to use for myself and for guest speakers even those who are not as tech savvy
- While I like the zoom rooms sometimes there have been delays in starting them leading to confusion with attendees - this may be a connection issue rather than a product issue but wanted to mention it
- Zoom does tend to get more glitchy then other platforms I have used - especially when presenting my screen or sharing a video. Not sure why.

Amazing Zoom Experience for Video Conferencing and Meetings
I used Zoom for online B2B Sales calls. Previously i was using Skype and local dialers to reach out clients. During COVID -19 moving from phone call to Zoom meetings totally changed my experienced. In my opinion, it is user friendly and increased my conversion rate. I also used it for internal team meetings and was a great experience so far. Managing virtual team, chat rooms, screen sharing and easily joinable from browser with a single link made it a favorite platform.
- User Friendly
- Screen sharing
- Free video Recording
- Calendar invites and follow-ups
- It is difficult to use Zoom for low band width connection.
- One hour bracket for free user should be increased
- Mobile browser view is difficult to join

You cannot see if the follow-up emails after the webinar were sent or not. There is no report or proof that this email is sent to webinar registrants. I contacted support and they said they do not have this feature and that I would need to contact each attendee and ask them if they received this follow-up email which is grossly unprofessional to do. I would suggest that any emails following the webinar should be sent from HubSpot or emailing system like Mailchimp, etc.
- record webinar
- practice session
- No information or record if any of their emails have been sent or not. (follow-up emails)
Zoom Video allows our company to set up meetings with various vendors and clients in different locations. This allows us to interact with individuals to analyze product details or address concerns that a client may have with an order. In this time of social distancing we have been using Zoom Video to set up meetings for new business and new relationships with vendors. We are able to contact services like payroll and insurance carriers to go over any changes in rates or help to sign up employees during renewal. We expect to continue to use Zoom for our future meetings to continue to sell our products and get the word out on our company.
- Easse of Use to connect with individuals
- Opportunity to include large groups in the meetings
- private and secure
- Call in could be easier to navigate
- Allow the host more options to control the meeting

A superior and high quality virtual meeting tool
We use it for all of our course lectures, meetings, and virtual events. We are currently transitioning to using Zoom versus another service because of Zoom's superior features and ease of use. It helps easily integrate with our current enterprise software and allows both students and faculty to easily integrate Zoom into their personal devices and calendars. It is used for almost all of our virtual meetings and is used extensively all over our campus.
- Ease of integration
- Intuitive interface and setup
- Strong reliability
- More screen sharing features
- Full access for non-organizational users to join and use our tools.

For client conversations and webinars, my firm now uses Zoom Video Webinar. We use Zoom to make meeting invitations and see our clients' faces as we discuss their company because we have clients all across the country. Additionally, the screen sharing tool comes in handy when showing clients' websites and other images.
- For the purpose of voice recording and onboarding new employees, this works well.
- It is simple to use and has a pleasing appearance.
- It is a fantastic tool for recording and archiving critical recordings.
- It could be easier to share documents at a meeting.
- If this is your first time attending a Zoom webcast, please arrive five minutes early. It might take some time to get there.

Soon after the pandemic, the entire business ecosystem moved to an online mode of business which helped us to connect with our colleagues from the entire globe. Since we have to conduct and attend several meetings to have a smooth flow of our business decisions. Zoom Video Webinar has come out with a good user-friendly interface and has been a part of our business to this day. Its video recording mode has helped us to keep a record of our decisions and proof of transcript. The host and admin controls help to manage large audience sizes without any disturbances. Having a screen sharing option along with onscreen board and pen usability, enable us to present as well as explain the business parameters and agendas. Its breakup room features help us in the distribution of small events to be conducted simultaneously. It has enabled our team to stay connected for an entire project from drafting to finalization.
- The screen sharing feature
- Recording of meetings
- Providing breakup room
- Admin controls.
- Chat option
- Sometimes irrelevant background noise creates disturbances that need to be identified and auto mute them
- Identifying spamming messages on chat option and providing admin to block or remove
- When having large participants presentation screen to users ratio should be properly adjustable
- It is also prone to cyber-attack like we fear having a sensitive discussion which is crucial to the organization, so if zoom provides a highly secure connection at premium charges, it will be highly appreciated

Before the global Covid-19 pandemic, we were using Zoom [Events] in hybrid meetings and it's worked very well. At the beggining of the pandemic, the over-demand made the system less stable but it was fixed quickly. Nowadays we're using Zoom [Events] to make 100% of our meetings. The results?

No need to be Tech Savvy to use Zoom Video Webinar!
The Zoom Video Webinar is currently being used by my organization to host project team meetings, departmental meetings, and management meetings. It is being widely used across my organization as well as our affiliates. It creates convenience by avoiding the need to travel far to meet face to face as well as for safety purposes during the pandemic. It's quick and easy to use.
- The ease of using other apps while on a zoom video call
- The ability to disable audio during the call so that it can be used on another app
- [A] simple way to chat within the group to all audience[s] or a particular user
- Ease of scrolling through the videos of participants as well [as] the participant's list
- The chat room can enable the option of sending a broadcast to participants on the meeting without sending [it] to all
- A participant can be on hold on a meeting instead of leaving the meeting and returning
- Noise reduction if possible for background noise from some participants
