The best tool to establish stable communication with colleagues and customers

I also use it to attend and support clients remotely when the need arises.

Some resources are missing for Zoom to be great
What do you like best about the product?
Webinar broadcasts and invitation with password included so that the participant can join with just one click.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some features missing in Zoom:
- Allow the host to share the screen only with panelists (more specifically, translators), without attendees being able to see;
- Allow only panelists to have access to the host's video, without attendees being able to see;
- Allow a QR code to be created along with the invitation link for a webinar;
- Embed a QR code reader in Zoom to access webinars and meetings via a QR Code (especially for Androids, iPhones, and iPads), and not just through a web link;
- Add the option to only accept participants and speakers from a specific LAN, being able to choose the IP Range of the people entering the webinar (for example, only allow people assigned from IP 10.4.7.1 to IP 10.4.7.254)

Zoom - Better than MS Teams
What do you like best about the product?
The product is the very first name that come to mind whenever we think of connecting with someone virtually .. be it office meeting or meeting some friend virtually for coffee or chitchat time. The fearures the tool provides are really great, be it chatting options with thousands of emoji options or the different types of virtual background it provides, all are really amazing, and the best part is it works well even when the internet connection is not so good or a bit unstable. Additionally, joining any meetings even without signing in as a guest is what most peope wants to fo without ant hassle and zoom made it dream come true.
What do you dislike about the product?
I sometime found that tool bar which keeps on coming on the top centre of the screen with stop sharing and other features a bit irritating because it limits my ability to click on another google tab with mouse while on screen sharing. Proving option to readjust it or placing it somewhere else on the screen would be really appreciated
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it fot all our official meetings in our organisation and has been a great choice so far.
Simple solution to meet exact requirement
What do you like best about the product?
We can easily install the software without any guidelines, even the user can handle this installation. after creating the account user can easily arrange meetings and can do the configurations according. In the Organizational environment, administrators can manage the user accounts and have different methods to control end users' permission. By doing that administrators can manage the accounts according to the company IT Policies and guidelines. the other feature I'm interested in is the background for your video. WFH (Work From Home) this feature enables to hide disturbing backgrounds and can manage them professionally. Because when you switch on your video the background will reveal your place. This is sort of a privacy issue and can manage with background images. And the other thing is the cloud recording option which enables to record it in the zoom cloud for future usage, especially doing training sessions. Breakout rooms are very used full in special marketing or lecturing sessions. this enables to divide the audience into several groups and the host can do sessions individually for these groups. zoom isn't a bulky application compared to the other applications in the market, Another fascinating thing is, that we can attend a meeting without registration by using the Meeting ID and the passcode. From the meeting host person can admit, reject or move to Waiting Room at any time. If your company does not like MS teams but use office365 as the base application, Administrators can easily add zoom to default meeting via the office365 admin center and need to install the zoom plugin via the windows store. This feature allows any user to connect with meetings without a limitation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mostly there isn't any video resolution adjuster. we have only a few options to select (HD or not). most of the time users are using different types of cameras in different types of resolutions. In Asian countries like us, we have limited bandwidths of connections and sometimes signals are weaker in some areas. Due to that meetings cannot perform successfully. If there is an option to select different types of resolutions so we can easily manage them. The screen sharing option is good but sometimes when presenting large excel sheets, users may complain that it's not showing clearly and lags.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Office365 user accounts are only given to the management teams, in critical situations like social distancing and fuel crisis, using The Zoom application, we can arrange meetings with other nonoffice365 users. This is the huge advantage we are taking from this. other than that, for some meetings we have to connect more than 100 users such things like system and process training. zoom is a good application for this kind of purpose. because we cannot limit the participants due to social and environmental situations in the country. once you recorded the video can shared with any person you like with an invitation.
Efficient, reliable, and robust!
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Zoom is how seamless its usage is. It takes no more than a few seconds to start a meeting or join one hosted by someone else. If there's no urgency for the meeting to run immediately, Zoom gives you the option to plan and schedule your meeting. You can invite people using the URL that Zoom presents you with or click on the Add Participants option to easily add anyone you have to your Zoom contacts list. If the participant accepts the invitation to the meeting, they'll automatically be added to the meeting room, where you can partake in discussions with them. The meeting room facilitates many features such as file transfer, screen-sharing, recording audio and video messages, sharing images, group work, whiteboard, and presentations. These features are available during meetings and non-meeting times.
You can send files of any type to people on Zoom by dragging and dropping them in the chat. Screen-sharing on Zoom is an effective way to share work screens and promote group work among your team when there are projects at hand that require a collaborative effort. You share any window or app from your screen and hide any other sensitive information that you don't want being broadcasted. In the event you're not able to find the time to gather everyone for a meeting, you can send video recordings to convey the message. The whiteboard widget on Zoom allows you to use it similar to Paint for drawing and writing. Zoom's presentations are excellent and support any source. You can drag and drop Powerpoint files or important ones from your Google Drive.

What do you dislike about the product?
I'm happy with Zoom and haven't found anything that I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My colleagues and I are working from home because of the pandemic and Zoom has helped us close the gap between communication issues and delayed work completions. We're able to stay connected and work together at all times since we can start Zoom meetings at any time. Even outside of our scheduled meetings, we can make quick voice calls with anyone to find solutions to queries. The communication features on Zoom are excellent, but what makes it the ideal software for us to work with is that it allows file transfer. We can share files by dragging and dropping them on the chat, after which anyone present in the room can voluntarily choose to download the files. While the distance prevents us from walking over to another person's cubicle to look at their computer, we're able to accomplish the same quite conveniently with screen-sharing. These are how Zoom has been helpful to us in our day-to-day work.
A way for videoconferences
What do you like best about the product?
The possibility of quickly convening remote meetings. Additionally, a link is easily created that can be sent to other participants via message and email.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't see any major negative elements. Perhaps unlike Google Meet, there is the handicap of having to pay for the premium version (the first 30 minutes are free). I would like to have more options for background choices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Shorten the distances: organize work meetings between colleagues who work in different locations. I am more productive because I can more easily listen to the experiences and opinions of my colleagues.
Shaky performance of the debian based app on my Ubuntu System.
What do you like best about the product?
It's a very stable video networking app for cross platforms like mobile, desktop etc and can run on multiple OS versions without many issues especially the mobile app works like a charm and has helped me to connect with my clients effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Debian-based Client for systems like my Ubuntu Machine running LTS 18.04 faces issues sometimes and the app crashes a lot on my machine. Connection to a wireless network is lost again and again sometimes it faces issues in displaying the menu where all options are present once you start to share your screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has played a key role in enabling people to work remotely which according to me is one of the best things this Pandemic has left behind after all that this world has been through. All in all a great app to increase WFH productivity.
