Zoom Reviews

My use case for Zoom involves a half an hour meeting that we have daily during which someone shares their screen and we go over the plan for today, what went good in the past day, and various details. Afterwards, I pair with a colleague of mine and we either share screens or I share my screen. We collaborate on tasks that we have using Zoom, but the share screen functionality is a must. If this was not present in Zoom, we definitely wouldn't have used it.

I value the chat feature in Zoom as much as the screen share, and whenever we have a meeting, we also have a chat, but it's nowhere near what Slack provides. Slack has way more options such as replying to a thread, but also sending that message as a last message in the chat box.

Breakout rooms in Zoom have helped facilitate more focused group discussions in my virtual meetings because you simply don't have to search for links to join other Zoom meetings. You just have one big call in the morning and afterwards, you split into the breakout rooms. Whenever I'm leaving my current breakout room, I'm returning to the main one, which is convenient because I don't have to search for any link to access it. Whenever I'm looking for someone, I can just browse to the breakout rooms and see whoever is in that room before joining. I don't have to join each and every room to find someone; I directly know where he or she is at.

This helps my focus as you have separate rooms for separate purposes, which is what my organization does. We keep specific rooms for specific purposes based on the name, such as one-on-one rooms prefixed with 'one-on-one' and pairing rooms prefixed with 'pair.' It's just a basic setup, but it's pretty handy.

Zoom has positively impacted my organization because it's essential for communication. Otherwise, we would not communicate the same way. We can see each other, we can hear each other as well. We use it daily for demos and for one-on-ones. It's a tool in our arsenal that is essential. We haven't used Microsoft Teams or Google Meet, so it's hard to compare it to anything else, but we are very happy with Zoom. We see no need to switch from Zoom yet. It fulfills all our requirements, which are pretty standard: just video and audio, and also the breakout rooms.

I use Zoom for meetings, collaboration, small conferences, and official purposes. If we have a meeting with people in remote areas or out of the city, I schedule the meeting and send them the link. My use is very typical, as I schedule meetings and conduct them by sending out Zoom links.

Zoom is easy to use and easy to navigate. I find it much better than Microsoft Teams, which I previously used in another organization. Zoom is user-friendly, straightforward, and easy to connect with. Transportation costs have reduced a lot because meetings that we used to have in person are now conducted over Zoom. In a cost-benefit analysis, using Zoom instead of in-person meetings is very beneficial for us.

I use Zoom for work because we do not have an account in my company, but sometimes we receive a link to join meetings. For personal use, I support technical issues that spread in breakout rooms and I have many meetings using virtual centers. Our team works every day in this virtual center, which represents the same concept as a local center that receives people, and we host all the meetings on the same Zoom account, distributed in the breakout rooms. This has been my main use of Zoom, at least in the last five years.

Zoom offers a number of interesting and valuable features. One of the most interesting is the ability to share only audio and provide ambient music without sharing a screen. The breakout room feature is much more developed than other solutions, allowing users to stay in the same meeting and move to different rooms and back to the main room. The sharing features are great for projecting people who should be in focus. Another valuable feature is the virtual entrance, which uses a username and password recognized by the Zoom system, showing the person's full name and ID. Additionally, the use of video and a good fixed background improves visibility compared to other applications. These features differentiate Zoom from others.

We use Zoom internally with our team within our company and with other customers. I often use it for international calling, which proves to be very good and useful.

Zoom is free for a single user, making it accessible without needing to pay for anything. This is different from Microsoft Teams, which requires an invitation for use by non-paying members. Many times when someone asks us to have a meeting, they invite through Zoom or Meet, because it's free. I use Zoom's transcription capability because we often have meetings with people from different countries who speak in various accents. Although this transcription feature in Zoom is good, it's not as good as Microsoft Teams' transcription.

We used to use Zoom at our company, but we've since switched over. I do still utilize it when other people set up a meeting using it. We don't actively use it anymore in my company; we use Teams. However, I still use it for calls, and I likely have a call today as well with it.

Zoom is easy to use. It has definitely been made easier to use because you can just click the link and not have to worry about having it set up previously on your computer. The clarity seems to be good for both picture and sound. Additionally, Zoom integrates well with Outlook, allowing smooth meeting scheduling and participation.

I primarily use Zoom for business and church meetings, and family gatherings. It is also used for small group meetings with family members.

The feature I really like is the summary provided by AI. It allows me to catch up with what has been discussed if I join a few minutes after others have already started, which is a very good feature.

I primarily use Zoom for business meetings.

Zoom is very smooth whether in one-on-one meetings or group calls with more than one hundred people. The application consistently functions without glitches. Compared to Microsoft Teams, Zoom provides smoother operation. The audio on Teams sometimes fails, requiring reconnections. Zoom offers breakout rooms which are a beneficial feature. AI plugins for meeting minutes and summarization are valuable additions to Zoom's features.

I have used Zoom for work and school, mostly for team meetings and online classes. It ranges from small meetings with three to four people to larger gatherings with up to one hundred participants.

Zoom is a very handy tool to give lectures online and to have meetings remotely. I find screen sharing, video options, providing remote access, chatting, raising hands, and interactive features during meetings to be extremely valuable. It supports hosting webinars with multiple attendees, and with good internet connectivity, I can have my camera and speaker on, collaborate on projects, and provide assistance to others.
