What does Zoom do?

Zoom can video conference meetings, audio conferencing, webinars, meeting recordings, and live chat while allowing content sharing, interactive whiteboarding, and many other features to make meetings more productive. Zoom can record and produce transcripts and end-to-end encryptions. Zoom allows you to connect virtually for business or personal meetups. You can join by computer, phone, or tablet. Zoom can screen share and has add-ons such as whiteboard, working space, and email and calendaring systems. It has security features that allow only the people with meeting codes and passwords to enter and waiting rooms.

For me, it lets me connect with friends and family visually. I can't always go to where my family members are. Zoom brings them to me. Since I'm retired, I no longer have a business reason to use it. If I was still working, it mas many uses that would make coordinating and working on a project so much easier.

It makes video meetings exceedingly easy. It is really easy to use, and afterwards a breeze to download the video file for archival purposes. I use Zoom for all my online homeopathic consultations. After permission is obtained, the consultation is recorded, which is reviewed after subsequent consultations to see changes in the person's condition and direction of cure.

Zoom is an online video, audio, chat application that allows users to host and be a part of small and large online meetings. Zoom also has the capability of hosting large webinars and online conferences for hundreds of participants. It can be used on desktop computers and mobile devices. As an I.T. Director for a small, and quickly growing consulting company, I can say I've tried many online meeting applications (including Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Zoho Meeting) and Zoom outperforms all of them. Its video and audio quality are consistently better in all conditions and the user interface is very easy to learn. Our company loves Zoom and has chosen it over the others based on daily use while speaking with clients and conducting dozens of webinars and conferences. We use Zoom based on employee feedback, not on my recommendation (although my opinion is the same).

In my case Zoom allows me to teach a monthly Safe Boating Course on a National Level. I have students from Alaska to Florida and from California to Maine. The class is a Coast Guard "Public Education" course. Prior to Zoom I got students from an area only about 5 miles from my location.

Zoom provides a valuable opportunity to establish a time to meet virtually with others, either as a Zoom meeting, or utilizing it as a hybrid meeting, where some attend by zoom and some attend in person. This opportunity for a zoom meeting, yields flexibility and quickly established times for people to gather with very little notice. Zooms can also be planned in advance, and links sent out for people to put on their calendars. It's a winning solution for many different types of groups to connect when in person meetings are less possible.

We are able to have open discussions and presentations related to work issues and workflow

Zoom is a multi-faceted communications tool used in personal, business, academic, and more, on a global scale. Depending on the global location an individual corresponds with, the level of quality in voice and/or video may be different than other locations.

Wow, Zoom does a lot! It's a video program (layman's terms) that allows people to connect no matter where you are in the world! I'm an American Sign Language Instructor and so it allows me to teach students from all over the world. I schedule my class, then send the link to my student for our class session. Zoom also allows me to "Share" my screen when I need to show my student something on my computer. There is also a "Whiteboard" feature you can use and tons more if you are teaching, holding meetings, etc. I also use it to reconnect with family who have moved. Updates each other, check in, etc. If you're a mentor in New York, you can meet with your mentee who lives in Georgia, you can set up a Zoom session to have recurring meetings with no set time or meetings w/specific times. The free Zoom sessions are offered for 45 minutes. If you need longer sessions, then there is a very economical fee to have unlimited time for your meetings. I've barely scratched the surface, but Zoom has been a great tool in making business and even family life so much easier!

Zoom helps connect me to my clients and friends. Through meetings, we can connect even if we live nearby and just don't want to meet IRL.

Creates a virtual live community place for connection and learning.
