Cons
"They should improve the registration gateway. Currently, you can't do a pre-event registration that's straightforward. You have to do an API to integrate. It would be a lot easier if they had that."

More IBM Cloud Video Cons →

"Setting up and understanding the tool takes time.""Our licensing model prevents us from switching off the meeting recording functionality""Zoom needs to address the privacy issues I've heard about.""I can't speak of any shortcomings. It worked fine.""Compared to Skype and Teams, Zoom is missing one feature, and that's the ability to call people. In Teams, I can call anyone I want. It's like a telephone. I can do the same on Skype, but I have to send a link in Zoom.""There is insufficient customization.""The price must be improved.""Making Zoom Phone available in all countries is recommended. It would have been good to connect with people outside using Zoom Phone."
